Help with my eyesight, urgent !?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Glasses do not improve eyesight. I'm a doctor and I discovered that glasses help you to TEMPORARILY see better, but they don't help your eyes permanently. This is becuase your eyes are under worked and your eyes weaken due to the aid of the lenses in the glasses. This is why prescriptions get higher and not lower, although you should still wear your glasses when you really need to.

Lasik eye surgery is the best method by far for improving eyesight, but becuase your are sixteen i am assuming you do not have thousands of dollars/pounds to pay to have it done so i will tell you about an alternative method

There is meant to be a high success rate with the bates method. It is a program that consists of eye exercises and is meant to help strengthen the eyes for better vision. I will post a link below to a very useful website that will give more information

The dots and lines you are seeing might be floaters which are usually harmless, but you need an eye test & new glasses anyway. As a part of the eye test, they check for various eye diseases and if there is a problem they will refer you to someone if necesary. The fact that you wern't wearing your glasses has little or no effect on what ultimately happens to your eyes (in terms of degree of nearsightedness or disease). You can probably wear your old glasses temporarily, if they are helping (won't hurt your vision to do this, even if the prescription is not quite right). It doesn't sound like there is anything going on that you need to panic about.

It sounds like your vision is probably getting worse and you need a new perscription. Nothing to worry about - the fact that you could write this question without glasses says its not that strong. I couldn't find my screen without glasses and with glasses/contacts I get perfect vision.

As you get older your eyesight can often get worse - don't panic - its just a function of growing if your eyeball is the wrong shape. Its a nuisance as everyoen would prefer not to wear glasses but you're not going to end up going blind. There is no urgency about going to teh optician you just need to make a normal appointment for a sight test. If you have less than perfect eyesight you can often get strange effects like dots etc because you can't focus properly. The optician will check everything out for you. Many teenagers worry about their eyesight and other things, its one of the more annoying things of being a teenager but it will ease off as you grow up.

thats not "urgent". go to the optician.

you are overstraining your eyes. you should get your script updated ASAP and be more diligent about wearing your glasses, if you don't like the way they look ask about contacts. :)

Is there any point helping you? You won't be able to read it!

Wear your damn glasses!

I'll help you with the psychological and physical aspects of your problem.

Quite often men with bad eyesight have a disorder in which they start thinking like a female.
I use astrology to define what is masculine and what is feminine.

The pisces-virgo axis seems to the main issue here. For people your age (16) Saturn was in pisces at birth. Acceptance and sacrifice brings control and restriction while analysis and health-freakery brings security and protection.

Personally I believe men should take the pisces route or they end up in trouble like you. A sign of a problem would be one of the following: being over worried, over-anayltical, unable to maintain a standard in care-freeness and generousity in spirit, cannot take rejection or failure in work or relationships. These are all issues with the pisces-virgo axis.

So if this angle interests you then you can try avoiding negative behaviour such as spending all your time worrying about your health, trying to live by rules or correcting mistakes. Try to be care-free always and do what you feel like doing. You have your feelings and your conscience to guide you always.
Feel free to restrict your life and set a standard in how considerate you are to other people. You can sit back and relax because you will have no enemies and noone is going to hurt you. Don't be awkward about things that are going on around you. Whatever happens happens...it has no real significance at the end of the day. You can control your life by relaxing and letting what happens happen. We are free to live our lives in the way we want and have control over that.


Medically speaking i suggest raising your glutathione levels. This will help to neutralize free radicals and toxins in your body. Your nervous system, immune system and digestive system will all benefit. (its worth noting the function of the optic nerve and the brain are factors in quality of eyesight.)
People who take glutathione or its precursors tend to say it helps them to relax and makes their mind sharper. I can correlate this myself.

You can take either special glutathione tablets with a protective coating (these are proven to be effective. Some tablets have no effect because they were destroyed by acid in the stomach before they could be absorbed.) Another popular route is taking 'n-acetyl cysteine' and/or 'lipoic acid'. These convert inside the body into natural glutathione.

Glutathione is no joke. If production of it (in your liver) was stopped then you would be likely to die within a year. Rats were found to die after one month if their liver was prevented from producing glutathione. Glutathione has also been found to improve autism, parkinsons disease and aid people in efforts to quit smoking. (this might seem weird but in the first few days I took these tablets anyone with parkinsons disease would start shaking uncontrollably in front of me if they ever made eye contact. Quite often these people try to hide any shakyness in their limbs)

The other area which may or may not have significance in your life is the effect stress has on the functionality of the thyroid. You know if you have a problem with the thyroid if there's swelling in the front of your neck, problems with weight gain/loss or just general tiredness/restlessness issues. If this is serious then seek medical advice from a doctor but quite often the cause is just stress. If you just relax properly then the thyroid should return back to normal function again. This is important as the thyroid produces hormones that control the speed of our internal clock. (ie metabolism.)

I've noticed myself that when I'm stressed or struggling to see clearly my eyes are slightly pushed forwards and appear more prominent in their sockets. Blinking becomes harder to do and gently touching the eyelashes while the eyes are closed becomes quite uncomfortable. The other problem is how the eyes are prevented from turning in any direction.
It would appear that all these muscles have been undermined by stress and they can no longer cannot function normally.

I researched the cause of eyeballs being pushed forward and the technical term for it is exophthalmia. The most common cause of it is a problem with the thyroid.
Thyroid problems are very common. Even celebrities on tv have thyroid issues. Apparently in China millions of people have hypothyroidism (an under active thyroid.)
