Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.


I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having refractive error in right eye.
Since you do not want to go for spectacles, the other options available are contact lenses and refractive laser surgeries like Lasik.

Vitamin deficiencies will not alone cause refractive error. However coexisting vitamin deficiencies can cause worsening of the refractive error. Hence use of vitamin A supplements and foods rich in vitamin A like green leafy vegetables, carrots... will help in preventing further worsening of the refractive error.

However for correction you need to go for either contact lenses or refractive laser surgeries like lasik.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
