Am i slowly losing my eyesight?
till i was 16 i had perfect eyesight and didnt require glasses. then i had an eye test and was told im slightly short sighted(cant see distance) and have had to wear glasses to watch tv and at a computer and also at college. then 2 years later i had another eye test and they prescribed a stronger lense as it had got worse. this is worrying me alot and im not fond of glasses. is this degenaretive??
Answers:
This is normal. People get used to their prescription, then when they go for a test, they want something even stronger. My eye doctor told me not to wear my glasses all the time...to give my eyes a break and i have not had to change prescriptions since the first pair. I really only wear them when I really need them. Also, drink carrot juice and take vitamins to take care of your eyes. Wear sunglasses as well and don't watch TV in the dark. Also, take a break from staring at your PC screen at least every 10-15 minutes - focus on something far away til you see it clearly, then you can look back...this helps your eyes be able to focus both closely and far away.
