Hi ...
Cannot comment on Ayurvedic remedies ..not from that branch of medicine.
Maintain healthy lifestyle , do check up once a year. Once the number is stable, and you are 18 years of age, you could opt for corrective laser treatment.

Hello Ma'am..power of the eye is according to size and shape of the Eyeball which can not be changed with any Eyedrops, medications or any other remidies. As we can not stop your body height from increasing similarly we can not stop the elongation of your Eyeball in your case leading to increase in minus power. After the age of around 21 years the size and shape of Eyeball gets fixed which in turn stabilizes your Spectacles power. After that if you don't feel like using spectacles then there are lot many options of Refractive Surgeries like LASIK with which you can get rid of spectacles.
