Default Curing Myopia?

I have myopia -0.8, and I was wondering if I could cure them.
I don't want to do LASIK or laser eye surgery and I don't want to wear glasses.

Thanks.

No you cannot cure myopia- unless of course you are Tom Cruise and I apologize for not recognizing your all-knowingness

you're stuck with it. sorry. if you're young the laser surgery may be worth it because it will be a long time before you need reading glasses to read the fine print. later in life it's not necessarily a good investment. look at it this way: glasses will cost you about $200 every two years (assuming your eyes don't change that much); the surgery can probably be done for under $2,000 - that's ten years' worth of glasses. yes, it's painful but the eyes heal and then you don't have to worry about losing/breaking glasses or contacts.

you may prefer contact lenses, though.

It is possible. I have a friend who has done the surgery. But i still think it to be dangerous.

I am still researching about the procedure. If my eyes continue to get worse at the rate they have been for the past two years, I may go ahead and give Lasik a try.

I haven't seen an alternative for curing myopia while doing my research on Laser surgery.
