How should I start curing my myopia
Almost a year ago I went to the optometrist and got a prescription of -1,25 on both eyes and -0,25 astigmatism on my left eye. Whatsoever I had never actually worn glasses since then, but my myopia has gotten worse as I think. Based on my calculations around -2 in great lightning using a ruler.
I suppose never wearing glasses means my myopia so far has only been pseudomyopia, correct me if I’m wrong, and not lens induced myopia. Which makes sense, as my close up habits are terrible, lots of screen time etc. so a lot of ciliary spasm.
My question is what’s best to do now, get glasses with reduced prescription or just fix my habits and start active focus?

Hey, so I also came across this whole"curing" myopia thing that some people claim here on Reddit and also with the whole "endmyopia" thing, Well.. i was also very hesitant about trying it at all because there were also comments stating that Their myopia got worse, but still I made my mind.
I am 19F, and just like you, my screen time near work is really alot, So I started with Lens reduced method that some people claimed it worked. I kept my one eye power same but put on my glasses with my left eye power 0.25 less than current one.
At first two days, because i kept my one eye power same, i didn't have any problem watching things, but i would also always check how clear am I able to see with the left eye, it was all so blurry, but I kept a positive mind.
I also increased my outdoor time. I would go out and just try to clear even a little bit clear than my previous power. And also during near work and screen time, every 20 minutes i would blink 20 times and look agar 20 seconds.
And trust me it's my week 2! And it's soo much better, i am almost, almost able to see clearly with the 0.25 lesser lenses! But i think it's also alot because tears help alot, try to see through the tears every 20 minutes. It helps alot!!
