A member asked:
Are there eye exercises that work for nearsightedness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Near sightedness is a function of the size of your eye with relation to the lens you have in it. There are no exercises that cause this nor none to fix it. One can look through a pin hole to see far away, but with a much smaller field.
