I'm 18 and have myopia with -2.25 and -1.75 power. I want to join NDA where the limit is -2.5. Can wearing glasses, taking vitamin A, eating healthy, and avoiding eye strain help reduce my myopia by just 0.25 or 1D? Or is there any other way to keep my power from increasing? I heard LASIK might make me unfit for NDA so what options do I have

my dear friend,-1.75 and -2.25 DS is already less than -2.50 ,so according to your claim of having myopia less than -2.50 is fulfilling your criteria.so no worries now.,go ahead and persue profession of your choice. but please make sure of the requirement standards of NDA. yes ,healthy diet is always helpful ,but you will have to keep using your glasses,otherwise your power would increase.

View allI've been dealing with strabismus and exotropia for a while and read about surgery being an option. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I could try? Also, could you suggest where I should go for treatment and roughly how much it might cost? Lately, it's been really affecting my confidence, especially in professional settings where eye contact matters a lot.

I have cataracts in both eyes and my doctor recommended surgery, but my blood sugar levels are high fasting is 167, PP is 245, and HbA1c is 5.6. My urine test was normal. Should I still go ahead with the surgery or is there anything else I should do first to manage my sugar levels better?
While your HbA1c is currently in the pre-diabetic range (5.6), your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels are elevated, indicating you may be experiencing hyperglycemia. Cataract surgery can be performed in diabetic patients, but good glycemic control is crucial to minimize complications. It's recommended you work with your doctor to improve your blood sugar control before proceeding with surgery.
