I have 3D myopia in both eyes and I've heard people say myopia can be reduced naturally without surgery. Some claim they lowered their prescription by wearing glasses with 0.25D less power than needed and doing eye exercises like the 20-20-20 rule. Is there any truth to this? Can myopia improve even slightly without surgery?

High myopia and exercises aren‚Äôt proven to reduce myopia;specialized slow-progress lenses and lifestyle changes may stabilize vision, but corrections don‚Äôt reverse it.

Minor squints can often be treated with exercises, but surgery may be required if exercises don‚Äôt provide sufficient improvement. Consult an ophthalmologist or optometrist for a customized treatment plan.
