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.

I had PRK surgery 6 months ago and my right eye seems clearer than my left. At my recent checkup, they found my left eye has CYL 0.25 AXIS 180. Is this something I should be concerned about or will it improve on its own? What steps should I take next?

Small CYL may not need correction; wait and recheck‚Äîeye exercises or glasses may help if vision is blurry.
