Eye help???!!!!?

Question

i'm only 12 and my eyesight is REALLY REALLY BAD. one eye is -6.5 and the other is -6.25! my eyes are worse than all the people i know and my parents. i play a lot of computer and video games and so does my sister, but she has perfect vision! if it gets worse i have to have contacts and i don't want them. how can my eyesight get better???

Answer 1

You cant. i have way worse eye sight than you and i have been living with glasses since 2nd grade. But i recently got contacts, and trust me they are not that bad, and plus if you dont tell anyone you have them on no one will know you are wearing them.

Answer 2

when i got my glasses they said to eat lots of veggies, and wear sunglasses. Also with vision that bad you really need glasses or something

Answer 3

play less. sit further back. play in a well light room. go outside and do other activities

Answer 4

from my experience there is nothing you can do to make your eyes better

but there are things you can do to help from potentially making them worse

i would talk to your eye doctor about eye strain and fatigue

the doc would be the best person to give you specifics

at 12 you will prob be recommended to use glasses, i don't know that it's recommended for a 12 year old to use contacts yet

there is laser eye surgery but that's not going to help you until you are probably about 20 then you can get it done

good luck

Answer 5

they cant be corrected without corrective lenses or refractive surgery.  remember to always get your eye health exam every year to detect other eye disorders

Answer 6

eat lots of carrots, i heard they helped. but if u dont want contacts then wear glasses

Answer 7

Tell your mom your problem and go to the eye doctor. They will help you, if you cant go, don't look at things such as television or computers for a while keep your eyes closed for a while when you open them after 7 hours or so you will feel better. GO TO THE EYE DOCTOR.

Answer 8

Uhh... if your eyes are that bad, you should be wearing glasses/contacts already. I'm -3.75 and -4 and I can't even function without some sort of help. Are you sure you're not lying?

Answer 9

I'm 12 and I have the same problem, my parents and my brother and sister are both nearsighted and have glasses, nearsightedness is caused by genetics, causing the eye to change shape. use a search engine and search for "eye exercises" nearsightedness needs lasik surgery in your 20's, but for farsightedness you can exercise them and rebuild your vision.

Answer 10

Sorry! But it can't. Unless you want to get laser eye surgery.

Answer 11

Eat carrots. LOL

You can't do anything, your eyesight is what it is. You can't change it.

Answer 13

wellll ...contacts are not good for the eye...stay away from video games..nd wear eyeglasses.. your gnna have to go through wat u did..ur gnna have to suffer

Answer 14

Your eyes are going to keep changing as you get older, they stop changing at around 21 yrs old. They may even get better. Contacts may improve your vision because you will be straining less. Don't be afraid of them, they are very safe and you can't feel them.

Answer 15

dude thats nothing,

ive had glasses since age three and got contacts three years ago in 6th grade. it isnt that bad, the contacts that is. i also had surgery on my eyes at 5 and a half, and i could have gone blind. consider yourself LUCKY. mostly you can only correct it with contacts glasses or surgery. so take your pick.

Answer 16

My husband is an optometrist (eye doctor) and he's told me that what people say about sitting too close to the TV or playing too many video games or reading in a room that's not well lit is NOT TRUE.  Those things don't affect your eyesight.  Unfortunately, your eyes are just going to do what they're going to do, and there's nothing that can reverse it.  I would suggest you go to an eye doctor and get glasses or contacts.  That's all you can do.  And maybe that way, if you're straining your eyes less, it might actually keep them from getting worse.

Answer 17

eat carrots :]
