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.

View allI 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’t proven to reduce myopia;specialized slow-progress lenses and lifestyle changes may stabilize vision, but corrections don’t reverse it.

I'm considering Lasik surgery and have a high spherical number around 7 with a bit of cylindrical correction at 1. My cornea thickness is over 540 in both eyes. With these numbers, which Lasik option would work best for me Blade Lasik, Bladeless Lasik, or Contoura Vision? I'm a little unsure about the differences and which one would be safest and most effective for my case.
opthal opinion is advised.
