Answer 2

You have some sort of refractive error, like the rest of us. If your eyes are too strong, that would mean the lens system of your eyes, the cornea and the lens itself, are too strong for "normal" vision. Light rays coming from far away are focused in front of the retina. They are bent too much and leave a blur circle on your retina.

Because you are focused up close, things up close are clear out to a certain distance. HOw strong your eyes are depends on how far away from your eyes you can see.

Using P=1/d where d is in meters, if your eyes are +1.00 too strong, then you are focused at a meter in front of you and everything beyond that is blurred. If you are focused at a half meter in front of you and everything closer is clear, but beyond that it's a blur, you are +2.00 too strong. You'd need a -2.00 lens to neutralize that power and move the focal point out to infinity (for the human eye that's about 14 feet).

If you are +3.00 too strong, you're focused at a third of a meter, would need a -3.00 lens.

+4.00, focused at a quarter of a meter, need a -4.00.

Fifth of a meter, need a -5.00

Sixth of a meter, a -6.00 etc.

Being near sighted isn't all that bad, but one just can't see beyond that 'far point' clearly. But people like this read as it's easy to focus up close. It sounds like your cousins are nearsighted and see just fine up close. It doesn't hurt their eyes to do so, they can SEE there, but would need glasses to see beyond.

Having glasses is somewhat of a responsibility. One has to take care of them, keep them in cases, not loose in your pocket or on the bed where you can sit on them, then bend them back into place. If you take care of them, they'll last a LONG time, but if you're too young or not "adult" enough so to speak, they'll break easily.

Having a nearsighted eye doesn't mean your vision is bad. It means your eyeball is strong. No matter what exercises you do, or nutrition you eat, you are nearsighted, you see up close. As long as you can see clearly, you have good eyes. Clearly means WITH your glasses. You can't get mad at your eyes or a camera if you don't bother focusing the thing.

A microscope isn't a better instrument than a telescope. It just has a very close focal distance. You can move the microscope up and down and back and forth forever and it'll still be a microscope. The stuff about eye doctors wanting people to buy glasses and over correct them so they'll have to keep coming back, is, well.... sort of a way to get you to buy their "exercise" program or relaxing program. There's always someone who IS over or under corrected depending on whether the refractionist took the time to make sure they're not straining during the exam or squinting, things like that. Most optometrists are very wary of the tricks to make sure they give the right Rx, as that IS their profession, refractions. So that is where you should go to make sure you have the right one.

As your lens grows as you age, your refraction changes enough so that every few years you'll need a new refraction and new glasses. If you get lasik or lasek or photorefractive surgery or even an internal "piggyback" lens, your own lens will continue to grow and change your Rx. After putting out all the $ for the surgery and then have to still wear glasses is sort of, angering if you don't understand what's happening. And it's not the doctors fault your eyes change, everyone's change.

Whether you go to Mexico to have surgery is sort of a less than well thought out solution. What happens when you have a complication? Who fixes that when your flap moves or you get an infection or ????  Why would you trust your vision to the cheap guy across the border? Does that really make sense to you?

If you want more, just contact me and I'll try and direct you in a way that may be more beneficial than cruzando la frontera.

Well where you go to get lasik is up too you. Damged cause to the eye is due to light rays... Seating close to the TV could hurt the vision, maybe they sit so close because they cant see.

You might have had really good vision when you were a kid, but be careful. If you are from a Mexican family well we dont get are eyes check as we should, but are families wear glasses and it could be passes thur the gernations.

Maybe you always stood so close to the TV now you eyes were damged. Getting lasik sometimes isn;t the way out. Wear contacts it takes time getting use to it.

Answer 4

Well, during teenager years, you go through a lot of changes, including your vision. So, your cousins might not be able to see as well either later on.

But eat carrots. They have a lot of vitamin A.

Answer 5

glasses or contacts
