Help I'm stressed and worried and I think I'm losing my eyesight!!!?!
Question: I am 12 years old and it kind of feels like my eyes have been getting weaker the past year or two tell me something I can do to improve vision without paying. I have heard of sunning and does it really work? Is there a possibility I could go blind? I have prescription glasses but don't wear them unless I can't see something in school. Should I start wearing them all the time. I have heard that glasses worsen your vision because they don't improve your eyesight, they just cover it up.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am a doctor..
Well,i personally feel that you should wear your glasses when you need them only.
The objective of glasses is to make you see.it is true that it only covers it up and does not improve the eyesight.sometimes there are people who progressively need to increase the power of their glasses..because constatly wearing them sometimes tends to make them worse..
scientifically this cannot be explained, but people tell it by personal experience..
my advice to you is to, use the glasses when you need it only..
since you are short sighted,when you read a book you wont need them..
but if you cant see the blackboard from the back of the class, use them..
try the Bates method, to improve your vision..
they could be found on the internet..just search for Bates method..
sunning seems to work for some people.
after about 23 years a persons eyesight does not become much worse..so after that you can get an eye operation called LASIK..
its just a 10 mintue job,and after that you wont need glasses..
for the time being..
1.don't watch the television too clesely. have atleast 6 feet of a distance from it..
2. don't work on the computer too long ..if you work on it a lot, take a break every 30 mintues like.. take the break for about 5 minutes..
3.don't read in low light conditions..it wont make your eyesight worse, but it will give you some headache..

You are only 12 years old and you are already stressed out , you have prescription eyeglasses and you don't even wear them, you didn't say if they are just for reading or for distance or both. You feel like your vision is worse, you are going to have to do something, wear those glasses more and see if it helps and you need to tell your parents about your eyes, you might need to get your eyes checked out again. It's either wear glasses or get the lasix. That is your parents responsibility anyway, why are you worrying about the expense? You shouldn't be stressed out or worried about anything by the way, and don't be afraid , you'll be just fine but go to your mom and or dad right away, let them handle this.
