I am nearsighted (20/700 or so). My parents both have poor eyesight, but I managed to surpass them a few years ago. Most of my short, two decade life has been spent around books or computers.
1- Would a lifestyle change be able to improve my vision? For example, if I decrease my close work? Is the damage done?
2- I've noticed an increase in 'floaters'. Usually, I can ignore them but the amount in my eyes right now is... irritating. Is there any way to reduce these? I've been in a chronically stressful situation for the last six weeks, so I wonder if its correlated.
3- Recently, my eyes have began to twitch. I had a bout of these spasms a few years ago, centered on the upper part of my left eye. Now, they occur in the lower parts of both eyes. What are they and how can I make them go away?
4- "They" say that severe nearsightedness increases your chance of retinal detachments. How severe do they mean?
Thanks
