To correct a -3.00 prescription (moderate nearsightedness), there are no medications or eye drops that can correct your vision. The primary medical treatments to eliminate glasses are refractive surgeries: LASIK or PRK, Popular laser procedures that permanently reshape the cornea. SMILE: A newer, minimally invasive laser surgery. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Non-surgical hard contact lenses worn only overnight to temporarily reshape your cornea for clear daytime vision. To qualify for laser surgery, you should be at least 18 years old with a stable prescription for over a year and healthy eyes. I recommend consulting an ophthalmologist to determine the safest option for you.

I have been diagnosed with minus 5 eyesight; what are the associated risks, and what medical treatments or eye drops are available to manage it?

A prescription of -5.00 diopters indicates moderate-to-high myopia (nearsightedness). Due to the elongated shape of the eyeball, you have a slightly higher risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, early cataracts, and macular degeneration. Regular annual eye exams are crucial to monitor these risks. To manage your vision, standard treatments include prescription glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgeries like LASIK or PRK once your prescription stabilises. While low-dose atropine eye drops can slow myopia progression in children, they do not reverse existing myopia in adults. Lubricating drops can help with dry eyes but won?t alter your prescription. Please consult your ophthalmologist for a personalised care plan.
