Here's a natural, conversational rephrasing of the query: I have an eye power of -3 and want to reduce it naturally with Ayurveda. Can Ayurveda really help improve eyesight without surgery? If yes, how long would it usually take to see results? This version keeps the tone genuine and specific while sounding organic in an online consultation. Let me know if you'd like any refinements!

ophthal opinion is advised.

My friends recently pointed out that my eyes aren't perfectly straight, just slightly off. I really don't want surgery and my parents aren't okay with it either. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? (Note: This keeps the original concerns intact while sounding natural and conversational. It avoids robotic phrasing, removes excess punctuation, and maintains a worried but hopeful tone typical of someone seeking medical advice online.)
