I've been struggling with myopia right eye is -2.50 and left eye is -2.75 and I'm considering surgery to get rid of my specs. There are so many options like Contoura Vision, SMILE, ICL, and LASIK, but I'm not sure which one is the best for me. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Could you explain the pros and cons of each in detail?

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.
