Hello there!
Firstly I would just like to say that eye exercises or vitamins will not be able to stop or reverse any progression in myopia. There is no actual solid scientific research or studies that prove eye exercises even work for either improving eyesight or slowing myopia progression. Eyesight will change and progress naturally on its own!
Your best defense in keeping your eyes healthy is to take good care of them!! I have a few tips to help you out!
-Always maintain regular eye exams with your eye doctor, serious eye conditions can be detected and treated before they progress too far.
-Always wear eyewear with 100 % UV protection when outside exposed to UV rays. Exposure to UV rays is known to cause growths like pterygium and pinguecula and also cause photokeratitis and the early onset of cataracts and macular degeneration.
-Always wear protective eyewear when preforming tasks were objects/particles can come flying at your eyes to prevent injury.
-Maintain a healthy well balanced diet. Vitamins A,C,E, flaxseed, beta carotene and lutein are known to promote healthy vision.
- Prevent eye strain by taking breaks when reading or on the computer for extended periods of time. Every 20 minutes look at something 20 ft away for about 20-30 seconds
Just live a healthy lifestyle, maintain regular eye exams and protect your eyes from harm!!!
Hope this helps a bit hun! :)
