I asked my optometrist at my last yearly vision exam, and she said that it's normal to see myopia improve as people age regardless of lifestyle. She did say that my eyes looked very healthy, and that it can be diet-related. She also recommends that patients eat leafy greens and other fruits and vegetables for general eye health.
I needed to get a weaker prescription for my glasses, so whatever the reason I am pleased with that:).
