Is There Any Vitamin Product Available In The Market Which Can Help Reduce My Myopia
Hi,
My name its Muzammil, I am from Bangalore, Aged 26, working in an investment bank. I am a high myopic. I am wearing spectacles since 2nd grade. my eye power started itself at 2.5 in both eyes. Now it is 7.5 in both eyes. I am currently working on the eye exercises nd I think it will take a quite bit time for the results. I want to know that is there any vitamin product available In the market which can help me reduce my myopia. As the myopia increases, risk also increases. I currently wear contact lenses and also I have few floaters in eyes. Doctors have told there is issue now and retina is fine. They advised me not to lift heavy weights. so this is my query, do let provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Muzammil

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having myopia, and it has progressed from 2.5 to 7.5.
This myopia is called as pathological myopia as it is more than 6 dioptre.
You require regular examinations by eye doctor as retinal problems are commonly seen in people with pathological myopia.
No vitamin is known to decrease myopia but foods rich in vitamin A like green leafy vegetables prevent rapid progression of the refractive error.
Thank you
