Question

Please answer the question thannks

my eye number isn't over four i am going to get my eyes check(i have glasses but lost them) and i am worried if my number is over 4

Answer 1

Drink carrot juice daily. Put eyebright drops in your eye daily. Read a Vision Freedom book and do some of what it says. Reduce stress. Give your eyes time to focus, and believe that they will. Try to stay away from eye doctors and eye glasses. Things will get progressively worse the more you accommodate the problem with doctors and glasses.

Answer 2

These numbers are common sense ways of describing the power of the lens you use to correct your vision to "normal".

the formula is P=1/d where the d is in meters.
so if your eyes are too powerful and you are already focused at one meter in front of you and blurry beyond that, 1/1=1 you'll need -1.00 to move that focal point out to "infinity".

If you are focused more closely than a meter (39 inches), then your eyes are even more powerful. The distance is the clue.

If you are focused at half a meter, you are too strong +2.00 and would need a -2.00 to move that focal point out...

third of a meter -3.00

1/4 of a meter a -4.00.

1/4 of a meter is about 9 inches or so in front of you.

There is nothing you can do to change this physical eye. Exercise might make the muscles outside the eye stronger, but won't change your refraction. Carrots have Beta Carotene which helps the retina...so does kale, tomatoes, fruits and other veggies.

As you age, your lens in there will get bigger and bigger. It does that for everyone. So your eye will get stronger and stronger. By the time you are 50 or so, you'll be around a minus 5 (-5).

If you are farsighted or hyperopic, and you need a +4.00 lens to see normally, by the time you are 50 you'll need about a +3.00 or less. These eyes are "weaker" and the + lens adds power so the person doesn't have to force the lens to bend all that much just to see at distance. As they do all that work just to see at distance, to read is even more work...so these people have a hard time reading...get sleepy after 20 minutes or so, concentration wanders, headaches,...that stuff.

There are ways to "fix" this. Surgical ways range from the LASEK, LASIK, laser Rx you hear about on the radio, to corneal implants which slide into the cornea to change the shape, lenses that go inside the eye infront of the regular lens, and regular old cataract surgery where they take the lens that's in there and replace it with one that's calculated for YOUR eye. (To me this is the "best" solution for people 40+ or so). For a 20 year old, the laser procedures seem to be a blessing (as long as everything goes well...if it doesn't then it's a nightmare of glare, pain, drops and drops and drops and drops and drops and drops.......and dropsssssssss).

Answer 3

I assume you mean your prescription is over 4. I don't know of anything you can do to change it, other than laser eye surgery. My only other suggestion would be, if you are nearsighted try to do a lot of long distance viewing. Go outside and look as far away as you can. Focus on signs from a great distance. I don't know if it will help or not but it shouldn't hurt.

Answer 4

Refractive error under or over +/- 4 means nothing. There is nothing special about 4 compared to 3 or 5.

There is nothing you can do to prevent your refractive error from increasing. It usually progresses from age 10 to 20 and stops getting worse by age 25.

Answer 5

Well, if your numbers of diopters get over 4, that's pretty bad, but for near/farsightedness, +/- 4 diopters is still considered only a moderate problem. And you cannot stop your prescription form changing--just wear the lenses to correct the problem.
