Hello I have myopia. It has worsened severely. But I don't want to wear specs. Please tell how to cure myopia naturally so I can get back my normal vision.

Hello,

Myopia, also known as near sightedness is an eye disorder where light focuses in front of instead of retina. This causes distant objects to appear blurry and close objects to appear normal. Other symptoms include headaches and eye strain.
The following tips will help you to promote eye health.

Have a healthy diet

Several vitamins and nutrients are essential for eye health. 
Zinc, copper, selenium, Vitamin C, E and A are essential for eye health. So, it is essential to have a diet having all the nutrients. 

• Have fresh fruits and vegetables daily.
• Include citrus fruits like lemon, oranges, blueberries, amla, etc.
• Drink green tea twice a day. It has antioxidant properties. 
• Have overnight soaked raisins and other dry fruits. 
• Avoid carbonated drinks and caffeinated drinks. 

Exercise 

Practice some exercises and yoga as this will help to improve the blood circulation in the body.

• Practice suryanamaskar daily. 
• Take a pen and put it at a distance in front of your eyes. Slowly move it towards the eyes and keep your complete focus on the pen. Then again move it slowly to some distance. Repeat this 5 times and practice this exercise regularly.
• Practice pranayam regularly, specially anulom-vilom and kapalbhati pranayam. 

Sleep

Sleep with your head elevated. Use a pillow that will keep your head raised for about 20 degrees and it has been known to decrease intraocular pressure while you sleep.

Thank you
