Luis's Journey with myopia reversal and the impact of LASEK surgery

Luis shared her myopia journey starting at age 11, progressing to -5.75 myopia with astigmatism. She opted for LASIK at 30, achieving 20/20 vision. However, in her mid-40s, her myopia returned to -1.75, leading her to glasses and contacts again. By abandoning these aids and adopting active focus exercises, outdoor activities, and flaxseed oil supplements, she successfully improved her vision back to around 20/20, with reduced dependence on corrective lenses.
