Myopia can be treated with laser surgery. Laser surgical techniques are now highly advanced, and recovery is rapid. Other treatment options include device-based therapy and pharmacological therapy; however, none of these can effectively treat myopia—they only serve to prevent its progression. If you are an adult with stable myopia, you may visit a hospital for further evaluation to determine whether surgery is appropriate.
