There is nothing you can do to improve your vision except using corrective lenses. Eating carrots is a myth and if you eat too many you will turn orange, really.

There are several methods to improve quickly and naturally eye sight.
To know how to do that you can find here a complete method based on researches done by some scientist, for a cheap price ( http://getyourvisionbacknow.keysolve.net )

I can give you just some tips but I suggest to give a look to the method that i posted above, for example you can take more food that contains vitamin A such as carrots may help to naturally improve your eye sight.
We can also always do exercises. There are exercises such as rolling your eyeball to form an invisible square that are always recommended by the doctors to improve one's eyesight.
I don't know about quickly as there is no fast way to reach one's goal.

Vegetarians can help to improve one's eye sight. I believe it because I am a vegetarian and my eye short-sightedness power remains the same without any increase after about 2 years.
The doctor was shocked because teenagers at my years will usually have a most increase since we are always watching TV, playing computers and also reading.
I do not know whether it is totally true or not but it does affect a bit on the result.

Do carrots improve eyesight?
The Royal Air Force started this rumour to cover up its use of night radar during WWII. While carrots are a source of beta-carotene, which is necessary for good eyesight (the liver changes it into vitamin A), chomping on lots of carrots won’t improve your vision.

A couple of years ago the Blue Mountains Eye Study, a major Australian research project, found that there was a tendency for people to begin eating lots of carrots at the first hint of night-blindness.
Many women in the study had a diet that was above average in beta-carotene, but very bland: other sources of beta-carotene, such as green leafy, yellow, orange or red vegies, didn't even get a look-in.

While carrots and other vegies are good for you, they won’t make you see better in the dark unless you are severely deficient — which is highly unlikely as vitamin A is in a wide variety of foods in our diet.

Night-blindness experienced by the people in the study is more likely to come from cataracts and other age-related eye problems.

Other studies draw mixed conclusions.
Some suggest that eating green leafy vegetables and other sources of beta carotene (not just carrots) may help reduce the early signs of age-related problems.
However, recent research based on the Australian eye study has found no association between eating more antioxidants (including vitamin A) and reducing age-related eye problems

http://www.iblindness.org/ (Bates Method)

Before anyone disregards what I'm saying about the Bates method, let me point out that I've had great improvements with it. It does not have to do with 'eye exercises' but good eye habits, relaxation, and seeing better through the mind. I know it sounds strange, but my vision went from 20/100 to 20/13 through mental 'clear flashes' (confirmed on Snellen eye chart). It is based on mental imprints of something appearing "perfect" using your own imagination. Kind of like "muscle memory" in a tennis player. But a tennis player will not develop "very good muscle memory" the first day, until the day after that, and then the day after. It works in a neuroplasticity sense (neuroplasticity is a division of neuroscience). To read more about how to produce 'clear flashes', read this: http://www.iblindness.org/forum/index.php/topic,425.0.html

There are a lot of unscientific men out there disclaiming the Bates Method without really trying it themselves. You can find such men at Quackwatch.org who write arguments against the method. Even if some of what Bates mentioned may have been incorrect, they make it look like the WHOLE thing is incorrect. They could not have been more wrong.

I have been able to argumentatively 'trap' a great deal of scientists who dismiss the 'clear flashes', simply by saying:

"If you do not try something before disregarding it entirely, you are the "one" being unscientific. It's as simple as that.

Unscientific people jump to conclusions without trying things -- when you do not try something, how does that make you scientific?"

Ignorance (not knowing) and adamant disrefusal to believe something without trying it are two entirely different things, but my statement above clarifies the difference between being "scientific" versus being "unscientific". Experience IS the best teacher. The method is different from 'eye exercises' products which assume your extrinsic eye muscles are weak, when in fact the eye moves more than any organ in the body and the muscles are being overused and not relaxed properly. These misleading 'eye exercise' products tell you to exercise your eyes 25 min/day, then you go back to your bad eye habits for the rest of the day - that is why 'eye exercises' have a limited success rate. The Bates Method teaches you how to use correct eye habits 24/7/365 just like perfect-sighted people. It also teaches you to relax your muscular and nervous system to promote vision. Furthermore, it teaches you how to create 'mental imprints' that helps you see better.

"Regular Yoga practice improves vision and helps you see clearer and sharper. I'm not sure why, but it works!" --- (My comment: It's because the eye muscles are tense and when you relax them through yoga, you relieve them of tension and reduce retinal defocus/axial elongation caused by the oblique eye muscles acting like a belt upon the eyeball. Our eye researchers cannot explain exactly why eyeball shape varies, except by explaining away by saying it's hereditary. Bates Method uses ancient Tibetan yoga techniques such as 'palming' to improve eyesight.)

Recheck to see if PRK vision correction surgery disqualifies you. The military has begun to relax their stance on refractive surgery as our office has done a few lately. So far the only procedure they allow is PRK. You have to jump through hoops and it takes a years worth of followup. I think it depends on exactly what you will be doing after wards.

laser surgery, glasses, contacts, temporarily squinting your eyes, squinting causes your retina to bend in a more parabolic curvature, allowing better focus.
