Proper Eye Care
Myope                : Can you prevent myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, this is the easiest thing to do.
Myope                : Can you control myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, this is not that hard either.
Myope                : Can you reduce myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes.
Myope                : Can you cure myopia?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, if your myopia is not too severe, like -10.00D or so.
Myope                : Can you fit me with a pair of eyeglasses?
Proper Eye Care: Yes, but we do not promote wearing "corrective" glasses.  What we promote is preventing and curing myopia so that you do not have to rely on the "corrective" glasses for the rest of your life.  Besides, you may also have to deal with problems like retinal detachment if you do not keep your myopia under control and let it progresses year after year, thinking that it is "normal" for myopia to progress until you reach adulthood.  Here at ReLeX Eyecare, myopia stops progressing at childhood.
Myope               : I see.
