there is no evidence that any of the "cures " out there like eye exercises, eating certain foods etc. etc. work. You need glasses or contacts to see properly unless you have surgery, but as David E has said this is an awfully mild perscription.

First of all, you can probably do most things just fine without any help. Your eyes will not be damaged if you don't wear glasses. I happen to have exactly the same prescription you have and I don't wear glasses unless I am driving at night or watching a ball game. In those cases, I find the experience much more enjoyable with my glasses on. I would recommended getting some glasses and leaving them in your car. In my case they have AR coating on them and I have about five pair. But then again I get my glasses free.

You're only very slightly nearsighted. You will only need glasses to see distance (like when you're driving). The rest of the time you can take your glasses off. It won't cause any permanent damage to your eyes to go without glasses.

I would suggest that you go to a good optician and find a cool pair of glasses that you enjoy wearing.
