I have heard; after the age of 40-50 years,our eye decreases in its length from front to back. For a person who had perfect eye-sight before, this reduction in eye's length results in long-sightedness (feels difficulty in seeing close objects,reading etc). And for a person who had long-slightedness before, this reduction in eye's length results in very increased long-sightedness. But, for a person who had short-sightedness before, this reduction in eye's length results in perfect eye-sight. We know; for people with short-sightedness,the eye's length will be more than normal. With the age; in most of people, the eye's length will decrease. This decrease is possible for short-sighted people also. Thus, their eyes will become normal in size which in turn leads to perfect eye-sight. Please help me to confirm this...

The eye does not decrease in length as you age. The changes that happen around the age of 40 to cause you to lose your near vision (become presbyopic) are a result in the changes of your lens. The lens is responsible for accommodation, which is the process used to see at near. Nearsighted people will tend to hit presbyopia later in life than someone who is emmetropic (no correction needed) or hyperopic (farsighted) because with myopia (nearsightedness) you use less accommodation.

I do have myopia - if i'm not wearing my glasses i can only see colours and shapes, so if i were looking at a tree - all i could see would be green ( no leaves or branches). If i looked at a person i could see the shape of their face, and perhaps the brown of their eyes or hair, but not their noses. I wouldnt know if they were smiling, or if they had their eyes closed. without my glasses, the digital display on the clock is just a red dot. this is why glasses are the first thing i put on in the morning, and the last thing i take off at night!

Myopia is nearsightedness. It can get better or worse over time. Middle age is a different disorder where you lose close near vision because the lens changes.
if you have questions about this, contact your optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Myopia is 'near sightedness', not short sightedness and no... it doesn't get better with age. At least, mine hasn't.

You really need to watch Samantha Pearson's video at http://www.restoremyvisiontoday.info It tells you how you can 100% naturally and safely cure almost any visual problem and the real truth about the Eyecare industry...thing is.. your glasses and contact lenses are in fact making your eyes worse.
At first I didn't believe it but right now I don't need glasses anymore. I feel like something magic has happened to me, crazy!

No, I'm 52 and mine has never decreased, however, the older you get, the more far sighted you get. I'm near and far sighted now with my glasses on but if I take off my glasses, I can up close very well.
