Brief Answer:
There are no tablets available to reduce the eye sight.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history and the report attached with the question.
It seems from the report that you are having refractive error in the form of myopia with astigmatism.

The treatment options available for this problem are use of spectacles, contact lenses to correct the refractive error or correction of the refractive error by laser refractive surgeries like lasik.

Tablets like antioxidants, multivitamins including vitamin A will prevent rapid progression of the refractive error. But these tablets are not known to reduce the refractive errors like myopia.

Hence there are no tablets available to reduce the eye sight and but these tablets will help to prevent rapid progression of the refractive error and promote good eye health. You can use anti-oxidant and multivitamin tablets. But to reduce the eye sight the only permanent solution available as of now is refractive laser surgeries like LASIK.


Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you

Brief Answer:
The cost of LASIK is approximately Rs.30,000-35,000.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.

Lasik is associated with few side effects like dryness of the eyes, corneal thinning, under correction of the refractive error... But with proper evaluation all these can be prevented. With recent advancements the side effects are almost minimal to nil.

The price of lasik is approximately around Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Do write back to me for further questions and I will be happy to answer.

Thank you
With regards
