I have 3D myopia in both eyes and I've heard people say myopia can be reduced naturally without surgery. Some claim they lowered their prescription by wearing glasses with 0.25D less power than needed and doing eye exercises like the 20-20-20 rule. Is there any truth to this? Can myopia improve even slightly without surgery?

High myopia and exercises aren’t proven to reduce myopia;specialized slow-progress lenses and lifestyle changes may stabilize vision, but corrections don’t reverse it.

View allMy current glasses prescription is 8 and it's been getting worse for the past 10-12 years. I'm worried about this steady decline would surgery be a good option for me? If so, what type of procedure would you recommend?
Myopia can continue worsening into the teens and even early adulthood. Once this excessive eye growth has commenced, myopia control treatment options can be prescribed to slow it down but the growth cannot be stopped or reversed Laser Eye Surgery for Myopia

I've been wearing specs with a power of 4 and I'm considering laser surgery to get rid of them. Is it safe for my eye power? What's the recovery like and are there any side effects I should know about?
Yes, it's generally safe to undergo laser eye surgery with a prescription of 4.00, and it's considered a good candidate for LASIK. The procedure aims to correct refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients regaining vision within a few days. While generally safe, there are potential side effects to be aware of.
