Is there any way to stop eyesight from getting progressively worse?
Answer:
You need to wear contact lenses rather than glasses. If your eyes have to strain across the gap between them and your glasses, it weakens hem. Contact lenses sit on the eye itself, eliminating the problem. It may not stop the deterioration of eyesight completely, but the rate of progression will be significantly slowed.
My optician recommended that I use contact lenses for that reason, as I was having the same problem as you, and it has made a difference.
If it stops for a decent length of time (I think two years is the required amount) you can have laser surgery and eliminate the problem altogether!
Try prayer.
well if ur under 21 ur eyesights gonna keep changing till ur 21 or 22 but if ur over 21 or 22 i dunno wat u can do
My eye doctor tells me that If I don't wear my glasses like I should I'll make my eyes worse. And they do get worse and I don't consistently wear my glasses, so maybe he's right? Do you wear your glasses or contacts all the time?
carrots
firstly take good care of ur eyes
dont read in low light
keep proper distance between eyes and book while reading
wear glasses if u doctor has recommended
eat a lot of carrots or drink pure carrot juice its the best for eyesight
turnips if eaten raw r good for eyesight too
aniseed +almond grinded with sugar and mixed and taken a spoon daily early in the morning all three things must be in same quantity ..this is a local pakistani medicine i ahve used it and its very effective my elder brother got rid of his glsess thru this ..try if u feel like..
It depends on the cause of vision loss. You should ask your optometrist (regular exam/glasses doctor) about why your vision loss is progressing. You might want to ask him/her if you would benefit from a visit with an opthalmologist (eye specialist/surgeon). Their exams are much more detailed and can possibly answer questions and give solutions that your regular doc isn't familiar with. Good luck to you!

take some Beta Carotene, Vitamin A and Eyebright herbs.
No. It usually slows down dramatically between the ages of 22-25.. or sometimes stops. mine did.
EAT CARROTS!!!!!!
Don't strain your eyes too much and your eyesight won't get any worse.
Make sure to have your eyesight regularly checked and wear the appropriate strength glasses or contact lenses (it would seem, as other poster says, that contact lenses are better than glasses)
Make sure you eat a varied and healthy diet of mainlly fresh vegetables and fruits - you need to get all the vitamins, minerals, nutrients etc... you need.
Practise relaxation, meditation and visualtisation
In the 1920s, a professor W. H Bates MD, wrote a book entitled 'The Cure of Imperfect Sight by Treatment Without Glasses'; in it he explained what causes eyesight to deteriorate and gave a range of exercises to prevent and cure the problem.
Many swear by it, although conventional medicine/ophtalmology dispute his findings. I have personally found that some of the techniques help with eye strain from looking at the computer for too long...
I'll give you a link to the unabridged book and a couple of sites that recommend the 'Bates method' - maybe it can help.
Good luck
Hello; There's a school of thought out there on eye health and exersize that says if you succumb to glasses, and every few years, your eyes get worse, your prescription changes, so you change with it... They say that if you allow your eyes to get weak, they will atrophy like a muscle (become weaker). I know the eyes aren't muscles, but this makes sense, becuase the lenses, and how they focus are based on muscular movement.
I have a very slight prescription, and for the last ten years I have not worn my glasses. My latest prescription is less than the last one. My eyes have not been weakened by eyeglass usage; it seems they've been strengthened!
http://health.learninginfo.org/eye-stren... This is one such website, and there are several more! I'm not an Optometrist, and cannot advocate for or against what they say, but there it is... I will say, there's a lot of things in this world, & about ourselves we still do not understand!
lazer eye treatments, contacts, glasses
Keep the lighting conditions around you uniform. If you are on the computer, use computer glasses. While reading, use reading glasses. Keep a good posture while at the computer. Do not look stare at anything that looks fuzzy or requires constant focusing effort. When your eyes feel tired, take a break and do some eye exercises. Eat carrots. This will slow down the worsening. There is no method to improve eyesight except to get the surgery.
well if i were u i'd go get my eyes checked and u might need glasses b/c different people have different ways of needing glasses
Take care of your eyes.
Use good lighting while reading.
Sit a good distance from computer screens and televisions.
When reading, hold the book at a reasonable distance.
Talk to your eye doctor.
If you wear glasses, try contact lenses.
I will tell you this. Carrots do not help eyesight any more than lettuce will.
eat carrotts.
What I did to help atleast slow down the process was wear gas permeable contact lenses. They are hard contacts that help hold your eye in shape. Each time that your eye worsens the shape of it gets more "football" shaped. Wearing the gas perm lenses will help keep it from misshaping. Hope that helps!
If you're nearsighted, you're in luck. As we age we become more farsighted. My nearsighted 70-year-old mother's eyesight has improved over the years.
I have always been farsighted and considering Lasiks. Those are the breaks!
as most of the answerers here said always read with proper lighting. i started to read novels and books when i was in high school and got hooked and became a voracious reader ever since. wished i had listened to my mom when she keep on reminding me to read with proper lighting and don't read while lying down on the bed.
we can't stop the faiure of our eyesight as we age but we can just slow the process by eating the food for our eyes (carrots). always have a yearly eye check up to prevent our eyesight from getting worse. adding to the strain to our eyes of course is our work in the computer everyday and video games for the kids and adults.
contact lenses personally doesn't apply for me for my eyes are sensitive to any foreign object, so contact lense is not for everyone.
luckily for us, we now can avail of the Laser where we can have a 50/50 vision for five years. my brother undergone this procedure and it's worth it.
'Carrots are good for your eyes.'
"False. Broccoli, spinach and other green leafy vegetables are much better sources of lutein, the nutrient that helps reduce risk of eye disease."
lasik surgery is a good way to correct eye problems, I know several people that have done this and have had their vision corrected.
Your eyesight will never improve on it's own. Try getting the lasik procedure done, it is the only way.
today or yesterday I answer somebody that use almond one no daily will help u
Stop Looking At This Screen
The instructions at this site are a bit hard to follow, but I've been doing the exercises and I can tell they really help (basically I can tell when I HAVEN'T been doing them). This is for presbyopia (old age eyes), but there may be other exercises to use for other conditions.

There are many good herbal formulas for strengthening your eyesight. I use Watkins Eye Care Formula available at Watkinsonline.com. It has lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, Vitamin A as well as other nutrients and antioxidants. Use every day and you should see results in a few weeks to a few months. Good luck.
lasik eye surgery
I think that when ever my eyesight gets worse it is from doing things in my glasses or contacts that I'm not supposed to so if you are near sided try not wearing your glasses or contacts for things close up and vise-versa for far sidedness. For completely fixing your eyesight I reccommend getting Lasik eye surgery to get your eyes fixed completely.
