hi, my son's vision is increasing rapidly. He's only 12 this year but his eyes are like 500 degrees on both sides. how do i prevent it from increasing rapidly? are there any kinds of glasses that help to control the increase in this?

hey i'm also looking for glasses that could help to control or mitigate shortsightedness. my work requires me to face the computer screen for long hours on the go. a good pair of glasses would do me good

Hi Sally,
Kids eyesight changes a lot until they are around 18 years old and then it should settle down.
There are eye exercises that he could do but frankly, I think that's just too much effort. Basically the exercises involve doing things like focusing on different things... based on the theory that if you are reading a lot, you should try to relax your eyes by focusing into the distance. You could read up more on the internet.
I remember when I was younger, because I read a lot, the optician told me to take a break from reading every half and hour and focus my eyes in the distance for five minutes.
Five minutes is a long time! I never did it!
Anyway, in my adult years, I had lasik surgery and now I have perfect eyesight.

yea true, there are some eye exercises other than focusing in distance. massaging and rubbing your eyes is supposed to help it relax as well.

i guess i have to let him watch lesser tv programmes and to rest his eyes when appropriate to prevent his vision from getting worse.
Please support our advertisers:
yes of course. and lesser computer games too. but most important is to rest his eyes regularly.
