To enumerate, they are:
(1) stability of refraction: the power of the eyes should have become stable for a period of 1.5 years minimum without any change.
(2) curvature of the cornea should be tested by a technique which is known as topography.
(3) thickness of the...more

There is no direct medicine to check the increase in myopic power but with the help of balanced diet ,green vegetables & seasonal fruits  one...more

In myopia (sort sightedness) no increases with age while in hypermetropia. It may reduce with age (say 15- 16 years of age). Its perfectly natural that if you have refractive eror you will have to wear proper glasses. So don't worry about reducing the number.

Hi Nitin... Lasik surgery is mostly safe and there rare cases with complications...
But it is not a permanent solution... and there are chances of recurrence in future.... means you can have numbers again..
so it is your decision to do it or not....
You may consult for homoeopathic treatment to reduce the numbers...

If there is -3 cylindrical power in one eye, its unusual and you need to get eyes tested for a test called as topography test. Also its likely that your daughter might be having ocular allergy (eye rubbing). Pls get it thoroughly checked by eye specialist.
Any treatment for spectacle removal is only done after the age of 18 years.

There is no medication or food for improving eyesight or to get rid of glasses.
If not interested in glasses then you can try
a. Contact lens
b. Lasik laser
as your age is now 18 years so your number will not increase now whether you wear glasses or not as number becomes stable at age of 18-20 yrs.
Having said that I advise you to eat balanced diet including green vegetables and seasonal fruits for keeping eyes and body healthy.
As you are not comfortable with contact len...more
