Anything to correct I started wearing glasses at
age 5 due to near-sightedness
in both eyes. By around age 13
my eyes were perfect and I
ceased wearing glasses. Over
the next five years my right
eye became very slightly
near-sighted again and my left
eye became very far-sighted -
it now has astigmatism. I'm
wearing glasses again almost
every day (when before it was
all day every day) because
about a year of using contact
lenses bothered me. I don't
understand why my left eye
deteoriated, but even with my
new glasses on I have blurry
vision sometimes. Will it get
better, or is eye surgery the
only option in the future?
(Currently 20 years old.)

There are eye exercises that can help with your eyesight. I suffered from astigmatism and myopia and was able to eliminate them completely with eye exercises. I am seeing perfectly ever since. These exercises are completely safe. Here is a program you might find interesting: http://www.refractiveeyedisord ers.com/ryv Best regards, |

Are there any contacts that I had keratotomy done on my
eyes 13 yrs ago. I'm
interested in contacts for my
trouble seeing close up and my
astigmatism. The trial pair
that I tried on today did not
work and nothing else was
ordered.

My friend had it and now she can see perfectly. She can swim, run, do all the things that are restricted by wearing glasses. The disadvantages are the possibility of still having to wear glasses in later life something going wrong the cost. I know when you work out the cost of glasses or contacts over your lifetime it is fine but it is the initial outlay. All things aside, if I could have it I would. My eyes however are continuing to deteriorate slowly so I am not a candidate for surgery |
