A member asked:
Is it possible to naturally correct myopia and astigmatism? (i currently wear specs) how can i prevent my eye conditions from worsening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: No "natural" means has ever been shown to deal with a need for eyeglasses. When you reach your mid-20s you can have LASIK surgery to correct the problem.
