Myth or fact: myopia?!


Question: Myth or fact: myopia!?
I'm currently 18 years old with some slight myopic symptom!.
My left eye's 75 degrees and right eye's 50 degrees!.
I remembered reading somewhere that wearing farsighted glasses with a small degree can help to correct slight myopia!.
Is that true!? Reliable sources are appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Some make those claims!.

Quite a number of clinical trials have been done with people wearing plus lenses or bifocals for up to five years!. None have found that the plus lenses reverse myopia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I read that it reduces near point stress, but I am not sure how effective it is at reducing myopia!. You have a low prescription and probably do not need to wear eyeglasses very much anyways!. I have moderate astigmatism in my left eye that makes everything somewhat blurry and I mainly wear my eyeglasses for driving and watching TV!.

Here are some of the links I found on the subject!.

There are lots more out there if you look for plus lens therapy for myopia!.

Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
