Is Myopia Reversible/Curable?

Question

Myopia, meaning short sightedness is said to develop when eyes are exposed to excessive strain. But what I've failed to understand properly is whether myopia can be reversed or cured in any manner? When I was diagnosed with myopia in my childhood, my doctor told me that if I were to stare at far away objects for long periods, it would help cure my eyes. I'm not sure if what he said was to keep me off my computer, or whether it had some scientific background. Thus my question, is myopia reversible, naturally or through medication?

Answer 1

Myopia or near nearsightedness can best be treated with corrective lenses( eyeglasses), contact lenses, and surgery such as LASIK
