    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 available everywhere and plan on about $1,000 for fitting and lenses.

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