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 had retinal detachment surgery back in 2006 and my retina settled but my vision is still low in that eye. Now I have extropia in my right eye and I'm considering squint surgery to fix it. Will the squint surgery help improve my vision or just the alignment? What should I expect with my current eye condition?
eye drops are advised ,for severe cases surgical excision is advised to the pt.

Is there any way to cure myopia naturally without relying on surgery or glasses I've been wondering if lifestyle changes or exercises can help improve my eyesight over time
No proven natural cure for myopia—eye exercises may reduce strain but won't reverse refractive error.

In my recent eye exam, I noticed that my vision power has decreased from 4.00 to 3.5 in both eyes, and I've been told there's a cylindrical power of 1 in both eyes now. I'm wondering if it's a good or bad thing that my vision power went down like this without any treatment or surgery. Also, if I start wearing glasses with the prescribed cylindrical power, is there a chance that the cylindrical issue will improve over time?
It is generally a good sign that your refractive power has decreased without any treatment or surgery, as it may indicate natural changes in your eyes. To address the cylindrical power in both eyes, wearing eyeglasses with the prescribed CYL power can help correct your vision and reduce the impact of astigmatism. Over time, wearing the prescribed eyeglasses consistently may help in managing and potentially reducing the cylindrical power. Regular follow-up with your eye care provider is important to monitor any changes in your vision and adjust your prescription as needed.
