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've been looking into LASIK surgery options lately and stumbled across keratoconus. I'm 22 and have had pretty stable glasses prescription for the last 3 years with no major vision issues, but my astigmatism is pretty high (sph 6, cyl 2.75). Could this mean I might have keratoconus or am I just overthinking it? Is there a way to rule this out for sure?
