Here is my story. Hope it helps and provides hope to many. I had stable -1 myopia for over 23 years. End of Jan 2023 I had an episode of "Primary Iridocyclitis of Right Eye". Used steroids and dilation drops. These did not improve but worsened the condition. After three weeks I stopped medications and went to tropical island. Hiked a lot and did eye exercises along with being in the sun all day. After 6 weeks my right eye still was weak and I saw things about 20% smaller than the left eye with glasses. But surprisingly after 7 weeks my right eye got better than left eye. I think now my right eye is near 20/20 maybe -0.25. I stopped using glasses after 23 years. The left eye still seems to be -1. I'm trying to continue exercises and reduce that as well. After seeing many articles about myopia from professionals who say it cannot be reversed I now feel like it can be reversed with a prolonged change in habits. Most important thing is to not see monitors for prolonged times. Go out in the sun and see things farther. Be active. Good luck everyone. Take care.
Your lens can attribute to some of that myopia and make you a little more near sighted. It is called over-accommodation. Kids can over-accommodate, leading to a falsely higher myopia than expected. It's standard in the U.S. to use a drop at the optometrist office to relax that accommodation before we give glasses. You can become less myopic starting in your 40s as well since your ability to accomodate lessens with age. Pretty well researched area, I don't think it's from exercise though obviously it has other health benefits as well.
I was diagnosed with myopia at the age of 8. My myopia reached -18 when I was 21. I had Lasik surgery and they brought it down to -2.5. I am 34 now and my myopia is -7 and progressive. What's my future like?
Don't utter such brazen lies. With that high prescription you could have never been eligible for LASIK as the upper limit is around -8. Tell your story somewhere else.
Very informative Dr Lee.What causes progressive pathologic myopia?Does the eyeball still continue to grow after puberty?

How to treat this doctor..
Esotropia or exotropia??
The eye needs less effort for converging but for far point needs to diverge so exotropia?
