Does eye exercise work?

Question

I have just turned 14, and is nearsighted (4.75 both eyes which is pretty bad, right?).Could I improve or at least maintain my vision with eye exercises?

And I saw that there's a program on http://www.perfect-eyes.com/?affid=2 for eye exercise. Is it worth a try to buy it? I know the website exaggerates a bit, but the website does gurantee a refund if the program doesn't work. What do you think?

Serious answers please.

Answer 1

yes, the bates method works, although it does take time

since you are 14 you should have lots of time and whatever good habits you start now you will have for life

i dont know the program you are refeering to but i do know about the bates method... there also are some optamologists who practice something known as ortho keratotomy. it is a series of hard contact lenses that can mold your eyes without surgery to have perfect or near perfect vision. like braces for the eyes. they will also give you exercises.

thAT can be expensive, but if you find one of those opthamologists, they can do some eye tests on you and give you personalized exercises, and maybe your parent(s) would pay for the lenses, you could try

if none of that is an option, i can tell you an exercise that works, but remeber you will not have perfect vision in a couple weeks but instead of your eyes gradually getting worse, they can gradually get better if you work at it.

ok so if you are nearsighted, the basic idea is to try and focus on the horizon. your eyes are muscles and they are being trained to focus close. so you want to do the opposite... hey i have too many tips on eye care i could write a book so i will stop but give you one very powerful exercise.......you get a mini trampoline (im serious) and an eye chart (can be homemade, whatever) but something to put on the wall like an eye chart with letters of different sizes. then spend abotu 10-15 minutes bouncing on the trampoline without your glasses/contacts
while you are bouncing, focus on the smallest letters you can see clearly, and keep focusing on them while bouncing. if the eyes get strained, just close them and relaz them for a minute while you are still bouncing. ***if your balance is not so good work on that first because its no good to work on the eyes and fall off the trampoline and hurt yourself

hope that helps

Answer 2

Well there's no actual exercises for your eyes, but the best thing to do to prevent your eyesight from getting worse is of course not spending as much time on the computer or tv, wear sunglasses most of the time, and eat carrots because they keep your eyes healthier. None of these things will improve it, but it will help keep it at least how it is. I know, it sucks having bad eyesight!!

Answer 3

Eye exercises do work. If you eyes are tired, just close your eyes for a while. When eyes are stress out, eyes cannot see very well. That's why just by closing the eyes, you will see a difference (remove your eyeglasses when you do this). Best of all, don't forget to blink your eyes (try to observe other people, they don't blink their eyes as much as often).

Answer 4

I read a lot, spend hours on my PC and watching TV, and have never had eye problems. Buy "eye-mo", and when you feel your eyes being strained, relax them.

For me, I spend at least a few minutes looking outside my window, or I go for a walk to accommodate them. I don't know if that will work for you because your eye-sight is already a bit poor. You have access to the net, you can search about "myopia" online. Don't go spending cash just yet!

Answer 5

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

If you believe you'll spend the next 4 years of your ife using computers more than an hour a day, then you might have to realize that that's like getting a few hours of practice at being nearsighted each day.

You are near high school, when I was at high school then college my 2.00 ish vision kept me from learning a lot regardless of what row I sat at. I was distant from my parents as well as possibly obstinate about glasses. Now I think they might have done a better job as parents if they'd found a way to get me to be optically sufficient. You know, like given me an allowance based on if I wore glasses. Pass the allowance hint to your parents.


I mention 4 years as that might be the time a doctor would make you wait until they'd do laser eye surgery. Laser eye surgery advertises as costing $299 per eye Vancouver BC. You might try communicating with them online to find if they will do just one eye while you are young. Medically adequate as well as affordable.

There is evidence that eye exercises work, but a 4.70 even if you improved it to 2.00 would mean that later on you'd think your parents should've allowanced you towards wearing glasses.

as bizarre as this sounds garment choices can compensate any appearance changes you associate with glasses.
kind of like Angelina Jolie with glasses is more alluring than Jennifer based on what they wear. I don't know what to say about your friends or whatever.

I just read your question:
What kind of grades do you need to get into an ivy league?
Does it also matter which school you're from? What kind of extra curricular activities do the school look for if it's in the area of law?

Recently I read an article that places like Harvard are big, like really big on rare upperclass sports like squash. apparently a Harvard grad taught a bunch of less privileged city kids squash and a bunch of them went ivy league on squash playing scholarships. Basically find out what elite east coast prep schools like choate have as sports, pick a rare one, wear glasses, get high grades, go to law school, get on the supreme court, then like do whatever.

The PSAT generates scholarship n perhaps Ivy league college awareness. I read at epinions.com that SAT prep courses are effective. Those Ivy people are well coached, matching their SAT prep courses or PSAT prep courses will be beneficial. visit epinions.com

The author of dilbert says there's a study that people who wear glasses are perceived as smarter. plus you could have the lenses faceted to sparkle at the professor resulting n more teacher time which is a big law school thing. Law students like being called on.

You could get a D patent, Ivy schools would dig that, its cheap, and a D patent is just a patent on a shape.
