Is it possible I need glasses?!

Very unhealthy habits. At your age you need plenty of sleep... oh wait, ANY age needs plenty of sleep, but some people actually only need six to seven hours. You're probably suffering from eye strain, but everyone should have regular eye checkups anyways. Can't hurt. Make sure that you're taking breaks, looking away from computer and television screens at regular intervals, and Go To Sleep and Get Outside for some fresh Air!

Without actually seeing an optician it's impossible to tell for definite, however make sure that you give your eyes regular breaks when you are focusing on the same spot for any long period of time. This will stop you straining the muscles behind your eyes. All you need to do is stop every half hour or so and take 30 seconds to make your eyes look somewhere different (just basically have a look around the room and a good blink! lol)
If you find your eyes are getting dry and feeling a bit 'hot' during the day then just get yourself some basic eyedrops and pop them in a copuple of times a day. (I keep mine in the fridge because it feels soooooo nice when my eyes get tired to have cold eyedrops go into them).
Also, try to drink loads of water, it'll keep your eyes nice and moist and will stop you getting headaches from dehydration. (so many people reckon they need glasses because they get headaches, but a lot of the time they just need to keep hydrated.)

Hope this helps!

Dear Ange Mile

You are very welcome to wear eyeglasses. The reason why you have to wear glasses and no-one else is simply down to GENETICS. Any delay in wearing glasses will simply add to the trouble you already have with seeing correctly. Right now you have bad eyes but if you choose to wear glasses you will then be able to see clearly (with no side-effects).

If your prescription is out of date feel free to visit our clinic. One of my asssitants will gladly establish your current prescription. We can also show you around place and allow you to witness our state-of-the-art selection of..."super glasses".

Please note, spending too much time staring at the TV or a video game has never been proven to cause bad eyesight. And spending time indoors all day has never been linked to poor vision. These are all lies made by misinformed non-professionals. Dont be fooled into thinking anything otherwise, young man.


My clinic utlisises the most up to date equipment in the world. If you have an eye disease, we will tell you about it (100%). You can be safely assured that after visiting us and leaving with a pair of glasses your life will completely chagne and people will want to approach you and be your friend. All because you're such a nice guy (and the glasses).

Our staff pride themselves on providing impartial care to all our patients. Respecting equal rights of all human beings is one of goals. For a free sample video of my clinic please click the link below:

I hope you will enjoy your eyetest experience and that later see you in the street with your new glasses, with your new found self-belief and the biggest smile ever.
Being the well cared for client that you are, i would like to use this opportunity to mention the many examples of websites that are currently spreading FALSE and misleading information across the internet. These sites are noticeable from their suggetions of "eye exercises" and "natural methods" to achieve "eyesight improvement". The whole idea they are suggesting is completely 100% untrue. These sites only exist so to trick you into lowering your guard and for you to part with your cash in exchange an "opportunity" to improve your natural vision.

Let me put it this way. If anyone was was proven to have improved their vision from these methods then why does EVERYONE still wear glasses?
So if you do happen to receive advice conflicting with that given by your trusted eye doctor then please immediately notify your local authorities immediately with the nature of the scam.

Examples of scam websites are:

eat lots of green leafy vegetables on a regular basis, prctice meditation and relax your eyes before sleeping by putting cucumber slice on each eye.
