Hi to all. I'm wondering is there some computer program, which can reduce my diopter. I'm short sighted. Thanks.

No. There are no magic programs to diagnose and cure people. You must get a yearly or bi-yearly exam and get correction. Whether that be contacts, glasses, surgery or vision therapy.

No majic bullet here. You have three options:

Prelex (pre-emptive cataract surgery)... Not even an option for anyone younger than ~55 and costs about $12,000.

LASIK or PRK. I.e. Laser surgery. You must be older than 18 with two consecutive years of a stable Rx. Cost: plan for $4,000 for both eyes

Orthokeratology: overnight contact lens wear. Sounds strange but is effective. This works well for teens and prevents myopic progression. Not avaliable everywhere and plan on about $1,000 for fitting and lenses.

Note: none of these procedures are covered by insurance (vision or major medical)
