Am I short sighted?

Question

I am not sure if I am short sighted, because my vision changes all the time. Sometimes in the morning my vision is pretty clear, but in the evenings it gets blurry. Sometimes when I am outside everything is clear, when inside it is blurry. When I read and look away the vision gets blurry and I wait like 3 minutes to get focused, but still the vision is not that clear. Can eye exercises help, and by the way, do I have myopia or is this something else.

Answer 1

Eye excercises won't do anything if you have a refraction problem.

You may be slightly myopic, or have slight astigmatism...

You know what you need to do....see an optometrist and get an eye exam.

It is an obvious visual problem....

Answer 2

It sounds like you see better in bright light than in dim light.  The reason you see better in bright light is because the pupil is constricted (smaller), which results in broader depth of field (in focus over wider range of distances).

When list is dim, your pupils dialate (open up) which results in narrower depth of field, and requires more accurate focus.  So in dim light nearsightedness or farsightedness will be more noticeable, if not corrected (glasses, contacts, etc.)

Answer 3

you should go to an eye doc that specializes in vision therapy it sounds like you may have sluggish focusing muscles.  You may have myopia or may not.  You have have 20/20 vision and still have blurry vision.  They fact that you say that sometimes your vision is clear and sometimes blurry suggest that you may need to do focusing exercises.  Yes they work, but you should have a check up with an eye doc. to rule out any other eye problems.  They are really easy and depending on how severe your eye muscle problem is... it is not the time of problem that takes a really long time to correct.

Answer 4

Another question is...how old are you?  If you're near the age of 40, you're becoming prespiopic
