I recently got an eye checkup and found out I have 0.75 CYL in my prescription. I really don't want to wear glasses or contacts or go for surgery. The doctor recommended glasses, but I'm not keen on that. Are there any natural ways to improve my eyesight, like diet changes or simple eye exercises?

0.75 CYL may be managed with exercises and screen hygiene, but no proven natural cure‚Äîglasses or contact lenses are most effective.
