Can I improve my eyesight?!
Question: Can I improve my eyesight?
I would like to know if the tips on this website are true and if they actually work. it also says not to wear glasses. my prescription is 500 something so i need to wear them at school because if i don't i wont be able to see. so I'll try to not wear them at home. but I'm worried that if i don't wear my glasses my eyes will get worse. so basically i would like to know if not wearing my glasses will make it worse and if the tips on the website work or not

Firstly wearing or not wearing your glasses wont' make your eyes better or worse it simply affects your ability to see. Secondly tehre is no evidence that any of the "cures" out there for bad eyesight work. Scientific studies have been done on eye exercises, food, whether you wear your glasses or not, whether you use computer screeens etc. etc. and they show no evidence that these have an effect. Trying them won't hurt you but if you follow those tips and they include not wearing your glasses with your perscription you could have issues in school or for example crossing teh road.
If there was any way of fixing bad eyesight everyone would do it. Eyesight problems like yours are about the eyeball being teh wrong shape. Nothing short of surgery is goign to fix that.
I'm a doctor (not optician), but i know enough about eye conditions to know that glasses DO NOT improve your eyesight. They are used as a temporary aid to help you see better when you are wearing them but your eyes get weaker because they are not naturally worked - the lenses do the work for them.
Opticians make money from selling glasses.
Despite this you should still wear your glasses when you really have to.
Lasik eye surgery is the best way to improve your eyesight, but it is very expensive and i'm guessing you may not have the finances for it.
Another alternative method are eye exercises. They work by strengthening the eye muscles to improve vision, they also relax your eyes as stress on the eye causes bad eyesight. The bates method is a program of eye exercises that is meant to have a high success rate.

they will likely slowly make your eyes worse. Try wearing them as infrequently as possible and always use reading glasses when doing close work.
