Can we cure our eyes naturally?
I suspect you mean: can we get rid of any nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism without having LASIK or other refractive surgery?
We
all would like to think there might be some "natural" way to eliminate these
visual problems: perhaps vitamins, eye exercises, better diet, etc. But
"weak" vision is not like having weak muscles that can be exercised and made
stronger. They are rather due to maladapted growth of the eyeball's size and
shape. We are just beginning to understand scientifically why this occurs.
Maybe someday we will be able to prevent visual problems from developing, but
for now we are pretty much stuck with whatever vision focusing problem we have
until such time as surgery might be indicated.
