I have progressive myopia (which my father had) and started wearing glasses in early elementary school.
A few years ago I did some research and found that studies have been done regarding bilberry (a berry related to the blueberry) in improving eyesight (specifically I think the retina, but I'm not sure). I read scientific abstracts that reported improvement when taking 500 mg per day.
My eye doctor alo recommended omega 3, and told me about blinking. (He said to put a sticky note on my computer screen that says "BLINK."
)
So I started taking the bilberry and omega 3 supplements every day. Since then, my eyesight has improved, which is unusual for progressive myopia. My right eye went from a -10 to a -8.5, and my left eye went from a -10 to a -9.75.
I also think it is important to look into the distance every day. We focus on close things most of the time, so walking outside and looking at the horizon or the clouds or a distance tree etc. helps to keep the eye muscles' ability to change focus working and not atrophy.
