I am 12, and my eyes are HORRIBLE. they are in the 6 range, maybe worse now. I already got new glasses likein 2007 at the near end of the year, and a few weeks after the new pair, my eyes were getting worse. They are getting worse, now. I don't watch a lot of tv, i play the computer for a few hours, and I go to school. My problem is the computer, once im on i cant get off. Second, school. When I read, I just start leaning in close to the book, or my page, and am too close,. I dont notice it, and I just start leaning in . My eye doctor told me to keep my book not so close, but i cant. I get into the book, and start leaning in. My eyes are horrible, I wear my glasses 24/7 I never take them off , only got bed. Any tips to rest my eyes, making them better, and so on? Please give good sites, and tips. I wear them so much that I have a tan line showing my glasses on my face. Its that bad. HELP!!!!

I've also been getting a lot of headaches, but maybe its the sun? HELP! Please give good tips

  1. Ok since u really like leaning into books...why dont you get books with bigger letters...so then that way you wouldnt have to lean so much into the book. On the other hand...if you are addicted to leaning into books....stick a note on ur book that says" dont lean into books!"...Also I perfer u watch tv only 30 minutes per day...Also to stop playing the computer so much....time urself for 49 minutes....and when ur clock beeps that means its time for u to do somthing else besides tv...such as sports...get involved in sports....or find a hobby


  2. Hi! I am 44. At age 12 I had started wearing glasses full time and felt the same as you. Your eyes are not going to get better, your eyes will continue to get worse until you stop growing. That is just how it works. I have very bad vision as well and I got contacts at age 15 and am still wearing glasses and contacts. I am an optician and work for an eye doctor, so I always love my glasses and my contacts. (BE AN EYE DOCTOR!) There are many things you can do to stay healthy, like eat well, exercise, do not spend too much time on the computer....but the one thing is that there is really nothing that you can do to stop the progression of your eye condition becuase it is mainly hereditary, and nothing you do is causing it, nor is there anything you can do to stop it. I understand about the tan lines. That is just what happens! You might want to start thinking about saving for contacts and asking your eye doctor about when they think contacts would be a good idea for you! I think it will be the only way that you will feel comfortable and confident in the future. Hopefully byt the time you are old enough for Lazer surgery the prices will be more afordable and you will be a good candidate to get it done! But, you have to be at least 18 and your eyes have to have been stable for a while, so you have a way to go as of yet. Good luck and know that you are like a lot of us out here....
