Short-sighted question...?

Question

I am short sighted, meaning i can't see from distance. But when i'm away from something i can't see, when i stretch my eyes, on the side of my lids, i pull them (Asian look) and thats when i can see better, and when i let it go, i'm short sighed again.. Any idea why this happens?!

Answer 1

That happens to all us short sighted people. When you squint or stretch your eyes back with your fingers I think you bend the cornea a little, and it helps refract light better inside the eye. Making your vision sharper temporarily.

Answer 2

im sure you have been to an opticians and they have given you a pinhole test ,its the same thing

Answer 3

im short-sighted to, and that happens to me aswell (the asian thing), i went to the eye person (i forgot what there called) he said that something in my eye is bent more than normal sigted people, i think when you pull the skin, its bends the thing back in to place, but when you let go it goes back to being bent.

Answer 4

Thats weird, but in saying that i can focus my eyes and then concerntrate and focus again.... My boyfriends sister and mother have rugby ball sahped eyeballs and they had that problem when they went for a fitting for contact lenses, obvious answer--- go for an eye test..

Answer 5

does that mean you seen the eye doctor already...
