Question:

Can you become blind if your eyesight gets worse each year?

Ever since I was in second grade, I needed glasses. After that, every year I checked my eyes, my eyesight turned out worse. Back then it was 300 (or simply 3). I'm 15 years old now and my eye number is 600+.

At this rate, will I become blind young? I heard that my eyesight will find a steady place sometime later, but I don't want to be half-blind for the rest of my life.

I may get laser eye surgery though.

  1. dont worry you  really cant go blind due to bad eyesight

    if your nearsighted you should regularly check up your retina  by an opthamologist its quite usual for young folks  that their eyes gets weaker each year your eyes may stabilize between 20-30  e.g once your body stops growing

  3. During stressful times we can learn incorrect vision habits which squeeze our eyes out of shape and give us blurry vision. Because artificial corrections(glasses, contacts, surgery) do not deal with how we use our eyes, we can increase our prescriptions during other stressful times.

    The reason why some people's vision seems to stabilize is that they finally learn how to deal with most of the stress in their lives and not let it settle into their eyes.

    Increased prescriptions lead to more and more tension and strain on the eyes. This tension squelches circulation to and from the eyes. The eyes get starved of nutrition and are unable to get rid of wastes effectively. Note for most people this is not a malnutrition issue, because of the squelching of the eyes they can be eating very well and their eyes can still be starving and over taxed because of high prescriptions and incorrect vision habits.

    More and more people are getting glasses younger and younger. They are increasing their prescriptions younger and wearing glasses for many more years. 70 to 90 percent of people who get macular degeneration, retinal detachment, cataracts, and other eye diseases have been wearing strong prescriptions for 20+ years.

    Lasik permanently locks in the strain and tension of incorrect vision habits. It only lasts 1 to 3 years before vision becomes noticeably blurry again. For a few unlucky people the side effects can be very severe. Once you get lasik you cannot wear contacts again because the cornea is distorted.

  5. Blindness is caused by disease or trauma...no one has gone blind from myopia.

    Hopefully laser surgery will be a safe and viable option for you in a few years.

    Meanwhile...as long as you are getting good vision with glasses and contacts...life goes on.

  6. get lasik but you have to get it again like every 5 years
