Reduce power of spectacles

Q: I am a 26 year old male and have been wearing spectacles since the past 12 years, with a power of -7.00 D sphericals. Is there any way to reduce my power?

A:A myopic refractive error of -7.00 D sphericals will never come down to normal on its own. However later on in life if you develop certain age related changes in your eye, it may come down. Refractive surgery to reduce myopia can also help to eliminate this number.
