View allMy right eye has a 6D prescription and my left eye is at 8D. Even with glasses, my vision is only 66. Is there any way to get my normal eyesight back maybe through diet, meds, or surgery? I'm really worried about my myopia getting worse.

I had LASIK surgery back in February 2013 but lately I've been getting headaches all day long and can't sit at the computer for more than 30 minutes without the pain starting. What could be causing this?

is it possible to correct my 1.75 eye power without surgery since I'm only 17 years old
Yes, it is possible to correct a 1.75 diopter (1.75 eye power) without surgery, even at your age. While the most common and permanent solution for vision correction is surgery (like LASIK), there are other options available, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even certain treatments that can help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), which is a common cause of needing glasses or contacts. Since you're 17, your eyes may still be developing, and it's worth exploring all options with an eye doctor
