  You can probably choose other methods to cure your myopia, vision training or eye exercises, discontinuing close work, reducing eye strain by taking a rest break during periods of prolonged near vision works; and wearing bifocals to decrease the need to accommodate when doing close-up work.Lasik surgery is one of the way to treat myopia which can make you less independent on eyeglasses and contact lenses.

  Apart from eye surgery, the most common way to treat myopia is the glasses or contact lenses.The time you wear your glasses or contact lenses depend on the degree of your myopia. If you have a strong power,you may need to wear your glasses or contact lenses all the time.If you are slightly nearsighted, you may wear your glasses or contact lenses only when you need to see diatant clearly, like when driving, seeing a chalkboard or watching TV.

  I think there is no way to cure it except for eye surgery.You only need to wear glasses to correct your vision and help you see better.

  It is annoying but you have to accept the fact that you need to wear glasses all life if you don't want to get an eye surgery.There is no way to cure it.
