Tips so my vision doesn't get really bad?

I already have pretty bad vision but I love to read, go on the computer, watch tv, and I'm a really hard core studier for school. So that has probaly put a toll on them. Is there anything I can do that will rest my eyes periodically so they don't keep getting worse. Like I heard shutting them for 30 seconds every hour on the computer helps but what I else can I do without having to cut my time reading and stuff?

I have glasses but usually wear my contacts and I'm near sighted.

Listen to your eyes. Whether they are sore, tearing, itchy or tired, they are sending you a message. Listen to them. If your eyes hurt when you have been working at the computer for too long, stop and take a break. Be receptive to your eyes.

* If possible, do computer work without wearing your glasses. I know this is difficult for most people but this is enormously beneficial. I can only see the screen about 8-10 inches away, so I move the monitor nearer and shift my chair forward. Now my eyes don't feel as tried as before.
* Look up across the room or out of the window every few minutes. Take a few deep breathes before continuing your work.
* Stop work after every 40 minutes or so. Get up from your seat and take a walk around the place. Palm for a few minutes before going back to face the computer screen again.
* Whenever possible, make use of your distant vision. Extended periods of time spent at the computer can really spoil one's eyesight, as you may have noticed. Seek out opportunites to see things that are far away.

Also carrots can increase your eyesight. Looking at nature like trees can increase your eyesight.
