Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
please let me know what is your age
growth of the eye stops by 20-25 years
the power will increase till that time
if you are suffering from regular myopia it usually will not go beyond -6/7
in pathological myopia the power may go upto -15
if you are 20 or above you can undergo lasic operation by an experienced ophthalmic surgeon and you can get almost 6/6 vision and you may do away with the spectacles
eye exercises will not cure the refractory error
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
