Can myopia be cured in non-surgical ways and some exercises? has anyone heard of a product called eye-max?

it is a magnetic eye-max used to cure vision problems. does it really help? is there any other ways i have -1.5 in left and -0.75 in right eyes..please suggest

It seems like a great idea but vision therapy is bogus. (Sorry to spoil it!). Vision has to do with the length of the eye and the shape of the cornea (the clear dome above the iris).

When light passes through a medium (water, window pane etc.) it is called refraction. The light passes through the cornea (refraction) and comes to a point (imagine what an ice cream cone looks like- see first link below for an example). Ideally, that point is supposed to land directly on the retina (the back of the eye that contains photoreceptors responsible for vision). BUT...

If the eye is longer than the "normal eye" (Which is called myopia or nearsightedness) (normal eye around 22 mm or so), the light doesn't make it to the back of the eye (hence the need for lenses to "move" the light further back onto the eye.

If the eye is shorter that the "normal eye" the light would come to a point beyond the back of the eye-- which is impossible hence requiring lenes to "move" the light closer to the front of the eye.

Tell me how eye exercises can shrink or grow an eye?!

The front surface plays a role in astigmatism....ever see a warped window. Light doesn't pass through clearly...it's hazy. How can eye exercises reshape the front surface of an eye?

Those people selling those "cures" are snake oil salesmen! Do not hand your money over to them! It's just not anatomically possible!

To cure: What about contact lenses? So easy, you don't feel them, comfortable...?

Yes, provided you get the right expert and the right type of exercises.

There is a way to correct your vision with gas permeable lenses. However, it is not permanent (it reverses itself if you stop using the lenses for a while) and many people feel that those lenses are uncomfortable.

IF they are for properly, however, they can be comfortable, easy to care for and your vision can be corrected effectively.
