I went to the eye hospital just to check my power for glasses since I don't wear any and never had my eyes checked before. The doctor recommended a scan and then said I need C3R surgery for both eyes within two months. They mentioned normal power is 500 and mine is 419, with anything under 300 being critical. I'm only 24 and just wanted to check my power now I'm worried about this surgery. Should I go ahead with it or get a second opinion?

I've had glasses for 10 years with an eye power of 2 and 2.5. I really want to reduce my dependency on them but don't want to go for surgery. Are there any Ayurvedic medicines or natural remedies that can help improve eyesight without side effects? Also, I spend around 8 hours daily on the computer could that be making it worse?
