Hi Doctor,I have a prescription with Sph. -0.25 and Cyl. -0.5, and I've been wearing glasses for about a year. My eye power seems to be increasing gradually. I work in front of a computer for about 8 hours a day. Is there a way to improve my natural eyesight? Should I wear glasses all the time, or just when looking at things far away like when driving or attending lectures? Could you please advise on what would be the best approach for this?
