Myopia due to minoxidil

2019-01-03 06:07:24
Hi doctor, I've been using 5% minoxidil topical lotion to prevent hair loss since last one month. Though I've been ignoring mild symptoms of myopia for like last one year, the symptoms have grown stronger since last couple of weeks. I've been diagnosed with -0.75 and -1.25 powers. Is there any chance that myopia symptoms might have been strengthened due to minoxidil?

It has nothing to do with minoxidil. For myopia you will have to use glasses or contact lenses or can go for lasik. There is no medicine or exercise to get rid of glasses.
