Is There Any Medication To Stop Progression Of Cylindrical And Spherical Power In Eyes?

hi, im 27 years old and i have spherical and cylindrical power in both eyes, RE : SPH = -4.75 CYL = -1.5 axis = 15 ::: LE : SPH = -3.5 CYL = -2.5 axis = 165, the cylindrical and spherical power has been increasing in both eyes and does not get constant. How long will this progress to and a doctor stated that if this progression continues, it high risk for my eyes and may lead to blindess. Please suggest what do I need to do now? Can I take any medication to stop the progression? Will LASIK help?

there is no specific medication to stop the progression of power or change of eye power..u may take eye tonics with antioxidents ,lutein,xeaxanthin and other multivitamins like eyevital-LX, astragold etc..u can get yr vision check every 3 months so that any change in eye power must get corrected as soon as diagnosed, u may use toric contact lenses, they r more physiological than specs , u may get yr LASIK done only after yr eye power become constant..u will not get blind ..just like that..get yr eye fundus examined..for any retinal weakness..LATTICE etc..tell me if u find my advice useful>>??
