Does Cylindrical Power In Eye Reduce And Eventually Disappear?
Spherical : 1.25 and 2 in left and right eye respectively. Cylindrical : 1.25 and 2.75. How serious are these numbers? Im 22 and got these numbers for the first time when i went for a checkup month ago.My eyes were alright couple of years ago and eversince i started using android my eyes performance started decreasing. I want to know whether or not cylindrical power reduces and eventually disappears naturally. Tell the same about spherical as well.

Hello,
Cylindrical and spherical powers can be reduced by the following:
1) Eating foods with high amounts of vitamin A like carrot, pumpkin
2) Reducing the screen time to less than 1 hour a day
3) Eye exercises of near and far vision of an object
4) Avoid reading too close or too far.
5) Proper illumination while reading or watching TV
But you need to use the glasses prescribed by the ophthalmologist regularly. If the above measures don't help you decrease the power, you can go for LASIK surgery. With LASIK:
1) You can get rid of the glasses permanently
2) Improve your vision significantly
3) No need of usage of contact lenses
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
