i have -7.25 prescription for my eyes i'm shortsighted and my eyesights getting worse after every eyetest?

Question

what should i do. will eye excercises help me regain my eyesight i'm 16 years old and i doubt the prescription that i have now is not enough.

Answer 1

hello.

your eye-power is based on genetic factors, as well as your habits, like tv, computer, xbox, PS2, Gameboy,... even studying hard stresses your eye muscles...

it generally increases with age, till u r abt. 18...
by 18, your power is fixed for life... and -7.25 is quite high, hence i'd recommend that u wait for another 2 more years ( by which it would have increased a little, never mind)... and then go for an eye-correction laser surgery that corrects ur vision... if u do the surgery before u r 18, then your power will anyway increase till u r 18... so wait and do it at the right time...

no professional i am... my friend has a similar problem too... so i'd say it is better to consult your eye doctor and think about your laser surgery...

Everyone's eyes change as they get older. The lens changes by getting bigger, layer by layer. Since the lens grows with time, and gets bigger, it gets 'stronger'. So every few years we all have to go get a new prescription. That's normal If you are nearsighted, you'll get a little more nearsighted as you age.

By the time you are 50ish or so, or 40, the lens gets large enough that it becomes harder to bend. That's when we get 'help' bending the light with readers. That's when we get bifocals or trifocals or progressive lenses that don't have any lines so no one 'knows' we're getting 'old'.

When we're about 16 or so, we start to do a little more reading or studying and that increase in accomodation makes us notice that our eyes don't seem 'right'.

The -7.25 is in diopters. It's a measure of how close that lens focuses light.

the formula used is P=1/d where d is the distance in meters.

For someone who's eyes are too strong and they're focused at a meter in front of them, they'd be a +1.00 and need a lens that is -1.00 to move that focal point out to infinity.

If they were +2.00 too strong, they'd need a -2.00 lens to move them from half a meter in front of them out to infinity.

Third of a meter (+3.00) would need a -3.00 lens

you are already focused at a little more than 1/7th of a meter in front of you so you need the -7.25 lens to move that focal point out.

When you are a little older and the 'changes' seem to have slowed down, you'll get some sort of surgery such as LASEK. But your lens will continue to grow, so you'll get more myopic even after that.

There are lens exchange surgeries which replace the natural lens with an artificial one. Some of those new lenses actually bend and allow one to have distance and near focus, but they're not 'perfected' yet.

So don't worry about your Rx changing, it does for everyone.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Your prescription should start stabilizing pretty soon. When I was a teenager, my prescription kept getting worse every year. After I got into my early 20s, it pretty much stayed the same until I reached my 40s. I thought the farsightedness associated with older people would help correct my vision but it hasn't. Not only do I not have that problem but my original problem seems to be getting worse again.

Answer 5

Eye exercises can help you improve your eyesight. I used to have prescription -1.00 D and was able to completely improve my vision within a few months of doing eye exercises. I am seeing perfectly now. Three different eye doctors told me that I would NEVER be able to see clearly without glasses, contacts or surgery.

Eye exercises won't help your vision overnight. You will notice temporary improvements within a few days, but you must practice them constantly for a few months to achieve permanent improvements. I don't know to what extent can you improve your vision since your prescription i -7.25 D, but you can reduce it definitely.

Vitamins & minerals are also very important for good eyesight:

Answer 6

Sorry to hear about your eye problem, My prescription is -4.25 and it causes me no end of problems. I was once told by an optician that I would reach a period when I would not need glasses as my eyesight would gradually change over the years and I would get a few years without glasses. this turned out to be rubbish. I have not heard of any exercises that could help, Do you have a consultant at the local hospital who could advise you.

Answer 7

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/3e16f

Answer 8

There really is nothing you can do, they'll keep getting worse. All you can do is get corrective eye surgery in a couple of years once your eyes have stopped changing. Until then, wear contact lenses or glasses and live with it!

Answer 9

Mine didn't get any worse after your age. I am clinically blind as a bat but wear lenses. Anyway, you should continue to excercise the eyes and eat the right foods - it should prevent further deterioration. You might be a good candidate for laser surgery later on in life when your eyes have stopped growing....

Answer 10

How often do you visit your optometrist? My vision each time I would go see my optometrist would get worse and I would visit him once a year. This year I decided to change my optometrist to another and through visiting him I was diagnosed as having a condition called keratoconus which is a rare eye condition. I am not suggesting you may have the condition what I am getting at if you are seeing the same optometrist each time perhaps its time to try another as yours may be missing something as mine did.
