Glasses don't make your eyes better, they just focus the light and allow you to see better..you'll find that people end up wearing glasses for a lifetime and their eyes don't exactly get better
It also leads to ppl getting dependant on their glasses, like when ppl don't take them off , then they're inclined to wearing them all the time
It can cure some other eye conditions, not usually myopia though
umm well laser surgery is burning off part of the eye..it doesn't really cure it..
i sort of meant like eye exercises ^^ thanks anyway for answering!

sorry i correct myopia would be a better way to put it
It's just that everyone in my family and all my friends keep getting stronger prescriptions for glasses every year or so

The first thing to point out is that myopia is not a disease. What it means is that either the focusing components of your eye are to powerful or your eye is too long. What happens is that light is focused in front of the retina. The retina is the part of the eye that you see with( well it is more complicated than that) So we use the right lenses for you to focus the light onto your retina. Specs contact lenses and laser surgery are options. No you cannot cure myopia, but you can correct it. Finally specs ect DO NOT cause you eyes to worsen! Qualified Optician.

Wearing glasses (concave) for constant use is the general treatment for Myopia.
As age advances (say after 35 yrs.) the power of the Myopic lenses will start decreasing and by about 50 years and above myopes may not require glasses, when normal people will be wearing glasses for reading at that age.
Thus in the life time every person has to wear glasses one day or other!

myopia is a condition where your eye is not able to see far away, glasses or contac lenses will improve your vision and will not make the condition worse. If you want a more permanant fix you could try LASIK. Go to a reputable doctor and discuss your options as there are risks with surgey

There are no exercises that cure myopia, just plenty of snake oil salesmen willing to part you with money to teach you same.

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/33c02

Snake oil and a rain dance.

Who the heck told you that glasses don't work? There is no cure for myopia OTHER than glasses.

The only thing I can think of that could cure it is laser surgery but even that is not permanent. Very few people keep the same prescription throughout their lives.
