my little brother gets accidentally hit in the eyes with pillows doesn't happen alot but can he lose his eyesight .. its getting hard for him to read words on the T.V.
i tell him time after time that he's too close to the T.v. when watching and to close to the computer could this be why he is losing his eyesight?? my older brother needed glasses at a young age too so could it be that is happens in the family or something like that

Getting hit with a pillow shouldn't cause that much damage, unless the eye gets scratched. His vision problems are probably due to hereditary eye problems, but he should still go to an eye doctor to rule out any other problems.

Getting hit in the eyes could make you lose your eye sight, but I don't think pillows could. He probably is just to close to the T.V. and computer. I don't what you could do if he won't listen to you, but just try to prevent him from getting to close to the computer. My little sister sits way to close to the T.V. and she slowly began to lose her eye sight, then we took her to the eye doctor and she had to get glasses, I don't like her at such a young age with glasses, so just try to prevent it as much as you can, or he may have to get glasses.

Help him to realize you only get one pair of eyes. We must protect them at all costs.
When having pillow fights, make a rule of not hitting above the shoulders.
When you show concern for his sitting to close to the T.V. and computer screen, he must realize it is because you love him and want him to have good eye sight all of his life.
Have him help you look up sights that encourage well eye care. There are a lot of foods that promote healthy eye sight like carrots.
When sight is diminishing one needs to seek medical attention. a trip to your eye Doctor would be a good move.
Hope this helps, glad to see you enjoy your little brother!

well it can be genetic if your family has a history of bad eye sight but getting hit in the eye could also be the problem
