Is this damage to my eye sight permanant?

Question

Ok,so I'm on my computer a lot,and that has done some pretty bad damage to my eye sight.My doctor said my eyesight is about 20-30.

So,I'm getting glasses this Friday,which I am fine with,but would the damage to my eyes be permanent? I heard from a friend that eating a lot of carrots improves eyesight,but I'm not really sure about it.I'm too young to get contacts,and laser surgery seems too dangerous.

So,is this damage permanant,or can it be fixed?

Answer 1

Well carrots can help but there are lots of other herbal things that can help, try going to an organic store and asking someone who works there if they have anything. Also if you are too young for contacts then i think you probably cant get laser surgery anyway, you have to wait to your eyes are fully developed. Anyway to answer your question, it can be improved. But i'm not sure if it can be fixed, you may be able to get to the point were you don't have to wear presciption glasses all the time.

Answer 3

First, computer screens don't damage your vision.  They give you eyestrain and fatigue.  Your vision has worsened because of a combination of your genes and doing near work.  20/30 really isn't that bad either.  They will probably get worse throughout your teens and will stablize in your early twenties.  Once they have stablized, you can get laser surgery for correction if you are a good candidate for it.

Second, eating carrots doesn't improve your eyesight.  Vitamin A is necessary for your eyes to function, but having excess amounts of it doesn't do any good.  It definitely won't change the shape of your cornea, which is what gives you the vision you have.

Hope this helps.
