Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern that as the power of your eyes increases, you need to wear thicker glasses.
Well, try to understand that there is no special diet or exercise which could be advised for refractory errors like myopia or hypermetropia.
To avoid glasses, all you can do is use contact lenses.
Other wise, it is better to undergo refractory correction by surgery on your cornea called as 'radial keratotomy'. This would give you a permanent cure for your eye problems.
Kindly consult Ophthalmologist for opinion and management in this regard.
All the best.
