r/ImprovingEyesight

Hey everyone,I’m 15 years old and I’m in a really bad situation with my eyesight. For a while now, I’ve been using my phone for over 10+ hours every single day.My eyesight started getting bad enough that I had to get glasses last year. But since then, my vision has just kept getting worse and worse. Right now, it is getting scary. I had to turn the text size on my phone up to MAX just to read it, but even at arm's length, the screen is still quite blurry.My last eye exam was about a year ago. I know I need to see a doctor, but I’m really stressed out.Is this permanent, or is it just extreme muscle fatigue/strain from the 10+ hours of screen time?Can my eyes still recover if I cut down my screen time right now?Are there treatments that can stop this from getting worse while my eyes are still growing? (Eventually, I want to get LASIK when I'm older, so I don't want my prescription to get too bad to qualify).I don't really have hobbies outside of my phone, so any advice on how to handle this or what to tell my parents would be heavily appreciated. Thank you.

Refractive Lens Exchange is what I'm considering. I'm tired of wearing glasses or contacts. Any ideas? Its quite expensive and want to do the right thing.

Hi all

I have high myopia over -7 in one eye and around -6 in one eye.

I am in my late 20s now so they are stabilizing finally . I did eye exercises around my teens after turning around 16 and that helped reduce my myopia progression a lot as before they would jump every time i made a visit to the eye doctor. So it only increased around -0.75 in the 10 years since i started doing those (but it was very on and off)

Now that they're finally actually stabilizing I'm hoping to decrease my myopia. I've adopted reduced prescription for close work or just lounging around the house (basically anything but stepping outside of the house to visit friends or drive)

I'm picking up eye exercises again. This time I'm trying sunning and palming as well. Anyone with similar prescription whos managed to decrease and what were your most impactful vision practices?

I have -6 in the right and -5.25 in the left (lens induced myopia) , i tried everything and the amount of patience it requires is insane. I gave up , any suggestions?

I’m nearsighted but it’s not terrible. I don’t wear my glasses when I’m home, only when I’m out In public. But I’d rather not wear my glasses. Along with other stuff, could my eyesight improve if I stop wearing my glasses??
