A simple solution to overcome the problem of nearsighted eyes besides using glasses is to optimize the consumption of foods rich in nutrients. Certain foods contain vitamins and minerals that can support eye health.
Foods such as carrots, spinach, blueberries and salmon contain vitamins A, C, E and omega-3 which can provide optimal nutrition for the eyes. In addition, the combination of these various foods can maintain moisture and prevent degeneration which has the potential to cause vision problems.
2. Doing Eye Therapy

Eye therapy is an innovative solution to overcome myopia problems without having to always rely on glasses. Eye therapy involves a series of exercises and techniques to strengthen the eye muscles.
The therapy can include the practice of circular movements, focusing on different objects, and eye relaxation. With regular eye therapy, you can increase the flexibility of the eye muscles and improve visual focus.
3. Lasik

Lasik (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is an alternative for treating myopic eye problems without glasses. This procedure involves using a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye with the aim of correcting vision abnormalities, such as nearsightedness.
Lasik surgery is a popular choice nowadays because the post-operative recovery time tends to be fast and some patients rarely complain of discomfort after the procedure. Patients can usually notice improved vision immediately after surgery.
Additionally, the procedure is minimally painful and the need for glasses or contact lenses is significantly reduced after LASIK. Although LASIK provides an effective solution, it is important to consult with an ophthalmologist regarding the feasibility and possible risks associated with this procedure.
4. Using Contact Lenses (Softlens)

For those who are reluctant to wear glasses, contact lenses can be a practical solution. Contact lenses or what are often called soft lenses can overcome the problem of nearsighted eyes without the need to wear glasses.
By using contact lenses, you can move more freely and see comfortably. In addition, currently contact lenses are available in various designs and colors which allow users to customize their appearance according to their wishes.
When facing the problem of myopic eyes, there are various solutions that can be considered other than using glasses. Regardless of the choice you make, keep in mind that maintaining eye health is a long-term investment. From eye therapy, Lasik surgery, contact lenses, and consuming nutritious foods, each solution has its own uniqueness and considerations. You can choose a solution that suits your lifestyle and needs.
