What are some ways I could correct or make my vision better?

Question

I'm thinking about getting Laser Eye Surgery when I'm older like 25, but I have heard of eye exercises and do they really work? And what should I do to prevent my eye sight from getting worse (ex: staying out of the sun, stop watching TV and going on the computer and such.) Thanks for the advice ahead of time!

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I hear that using the computer and watching TV too much does worsen vision. =(

My brother told me about an eye exercise he does and claims it helped his vision to stop worsening. It may possibly make your vision stronger.

Take your right hand, point out only your index finger (like you're indicating #1), and place it about 3-4 inches from you right eye. Now, take your left hand, point out the index finger on that hand, and place that hand about a foot from your face.   Ok, now you're gonna focus on your right index finger for a second or two, then switch to focusing on your left index finger.

This will strengthen your eye muscles. Do it about 5-10 minutes per night. You should feel some strain after a while.  It's like doing sit-ups with your eyes!

Good luck. I've recently started doing this myself.

Answer 2

You need first off to find out the real facts, what is damaging to your eye's like the sun, and what stains them like computer use.

Answer 3

25 for surgery is to early. cmon your risking more than 50 years to go. eating carrots are good. but you need to eat it like everyday for like months and months. but the thing is carrots make your skin become orange.

Answer 4

Until you are eligible for corrective surgery, your only options are glasses and contacts. Consult an ophthalmologist to see when you may be ready for that. Save your money now, insurance doesn't usually cover it because it is elective.

Eye "exercises" are ridiculous. The reason you need glasses is because the shape of your eye does not allow light to focus on the retina, causing blurry vision. When you put on the glasses, the curvature of the lens brings the light to the right focus and you see clearly. Period.

Eating healthy and taking certain supplements can be good for eye health, components of the eye, but don't correct for vision loss.

In respect to the sun, it is important to block UV light which can damage the eyes internally over your lifetime. You can get UV protection from good sunglasses or by using transition lenses (change with the sun), clear Polycarbonate or high index lenses,which are inherently UV protective.

Answer 5

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Eat carrots.

Answer 7

Try eating a lot of carrots, they contain the right vitamin (Vitamin A) for better vision! Plus it's really healthy :).

Also, you could read a book, but make sure you don't turn your head side to side while reading, let your eyes do the work, look left to right from the beginning to the end of a sentence. It's not much, but it does help a bit.
