A member asked:
Can plus lens therapy reverse/cure myopia? i'm seeing improvement with that, if it can't then why its improving mine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be temporary: Myopia is usually caused by an abnormally shaped eyeball. Since it's a structural abnormality, using a lens wouldn't be expected to permanently cure it. It's possible that the lens may be training you to focus better for short periods of time, i suppose, but the only cure for myopia that i'm aware of is surgery. Perhaps one of my opthalmology colleages might have more info for you.
