Hello I am sorry but there is no medicine or diet to get rid of glasses This power will become stable at age of 18 yrs -21 yrs of age There is an eyedrop atropine 0.01% which can be used to decrease the speed of progression but this should be used till age of 18 years and it should be used under ophthalmologist guidance
