Hi, gpkamrs!
If you're wanting and needing to see really well, then why are you wanting to reduce the power of your vision, please?
Thanks!

Clough, reduce the prescription power is what the OP means. They want to know how to get better vision in six months.
You can try vision therapy, but that would take much more than six months to repair, IF it works for you.
There is also corrective surgery, and sometimes a surgeon has a minimum that he/she will operate on. And that's usually -1.00.
Is there a rule that says that a pilot cannot wear contact lenses?
This is really something that an annual eye exam can help to fix. Your doctor is the one examining your eyes and can tell you what the best solution to your problem is.

I looked up the FAA Medical Certification Requirements. Here they are, to know what type of pilot you are looking to be will be awfully helpful.
Here is that link:

This does say "with or without" correction. Would contact lenses be a possibility?
