I went to get my eyes checked out last week and I need glasses for reading, watching tv and while i am on the computer.
I can’t see things very well far away. but when im close to the object i see it perfectly. it’s blurry when im far away from it.
is there anything i can do to improve my eyesight so i don’t have to wear glasses or contact lenses without having laser surgery?
If you can see close objects well, why do you need glasses for reading ? Don’t you think it’s a contradiction ?
Glasses are NOT a therapy or a medicine. They do not cure anything,they counterbalance your nearsightedness but only while you are wearing them, there’s no lasting effect. On the other hand, if used improperly they can cause great damage to your eyesight.
Nearsighted people need not, MUST NOT use glasses for close-up activities. The only exception is when they have a strong prescription. If you started wearing glasses just now, your prescription can’t be too high and if it were, you’d need glasses every moment of the day, not just for tv,computer and reading.
A moderately nearsighted person may need glasses for watching tv (because of the greater distance) , but absolutely not for reading a book or using a computer (unless the computer monitor is quite far away).
The fastest and most efficient way of ruining your eyesight is to wear glasses while you are reading books or during other close-up tasks.
If a doctor or an optometrist tells a moderately nearsighted person to wear glasses for reading, he/she is a dangerous incompetent.
Wearing negative lenses (i.e. to correct nearsightedness) when they are not necessary, causes eye-strain even if you are not aware of it. The consequence is that your myopia will get worse much faster. There’s only one rule to follow: use glasses only when you can’t see well and remove them every time you can see well enough.
And now on to your question regarding improving eyesight.
In April 2008 I found an interesting book which promised nothing but hard work and I began the visual training it described. It allowed me to reduce my prescription from -3.50 to -1.75 and I’ll go on until I can throw my glasses away. But I assure you it was not easy. My eyes (and everybody else’s ) took years to become nearsighted. Nothing can eliminate nearsightedness fast.
Did you know that even after laser surgery a nearsighted eye will still be nearsighted even if it sees perfectly ?
A myopic eye can’t see well beacuse it’s longer than normal. Laser surgery can’t change that, not even a little. It simply reshapes the cornea by destroying part of it, and transforms it into a corrective lens, exactly like glasses or contacts. But the eye will always remain longer than normal, i.e. nearsighted.
If you are serious about improving your eyesight, if you are ready to work on your eyes, then I recommend you that book: http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Perfect-Vis…
All you need to know is written there and for $12 it’s well worth a try. But if you want immediate results and have no patience, it would be a waste of money, however little.
