Hey everyone,?

Question

Hey everyone,

Recently I have been experiencing problem with my eyes. When I’m doing my homework or reading for a long time and when I look up, I can not see things. It gets very blurry for few seconds and after that I start seeing things more clearly. So I went to the optician. I did my eye exam. The Optometrists told me that I need Reading Glasses .BUT the thing puzzles me that I can read things close or near me. BUT I can’t not read thing far or farther away from me….. I need help??

Answer 1

Hey NEHU,

From what you're decribing, it sounds like you're a teenager having some focusing problems from the board to the notes and back. To keep the words simple, you have an accommodation problem.

You do need reading glasses to relax your eyes while you're reading material up close.

You need to keep your eyes further away from the notes so that you're not converging your eyes too much. Try to look up m ore often. There are vision therapy programs to help you work your eye muscles better to improve your vision.

Answer 2

you're probably straining your eyes when you read and see close things - and when you try to see distant objects - your eyes need to accomodate to the new distance.

with the glasses - probably the eyes won't be so strained - and the accomodation for near - to far vision would be more 'gentle'. good luck !

Answer 3

Sounds like nearsighted astigmatism.  And you say your optician said you only needed reading glasses?  Sounds like he needs some eye CLASSES instead of you needing eyeglasses.

Answer 4

It's what happened to me. Why are you puzzled. Just get the reading glasses and it'll make it all better.

Problem solved.

God Bless.

Pick some nice glasses, you hear? :]
