Question 1

does the eyesight ever gets better? my eyesight 8 months ago was -3.75 and now its -4.25 in one eye and -4.50 in the other. it was quite stable for a few years until now. ive been wearing glasses for almost 10 years now. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Your refractive error and eyesight are unlikely to improve. Keep wearing glasses. You may consider getting contact lenses. Laser surgery is an alternative that I do not recommend.
Wish you good health!

Question 2

i presently wear eyeglasses for distance. left eye needs cataract surgery only; one month for new rx. how can i drive wearing present glasses?

Accepted Answer

Very carefully: Your depth perception may be off, so drive carefully, particularly at night and on freeways.

Best wishes

Question 3

while wearing glasses i feel some strain in middle of forehead and area around eye brows is it any kind of eye problem or any other one ??????

Accepted Answer

See an eye doctor.: I recommend you see and eye doctor and make sure your glasses and eyes are working correctly. Good Luck.

Question 4

i got my eyes graded and my prescription eyeglasses back on 2009 and it is now 2013. should i go get new ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You should get your eyes examined at least every two years.

Question 5

one of my pairs of eyeglasses frames got bent b/c somebody sat on them.  now the right lens is closer to the eye than it should be.  is this harmful?

Accepted Answer

Bent glasses: no it is not harmful 
Your vision however may not be as sharp because the actual strength of the glasses also depends on vertex distance. Vertex distance is the distance from the surface of the eye/ cornea to the prescription lens

Question 6

how does one pair of eyeglasses correct both nearsighted and farsighted eye problems?

Accepted Answer

Different areas: Basically each eye can be near (myopic) or far sighted (hyperopic) and then have loss of reading vision (presbyopic).  Glasses can correct for the distance vision on top and then have additional reading power to help with near vision on the bottom.  These terms are confusing as someone who is farsighted could have blurry vision at all distances and not see far.  It would be best to ask your eyedoc.

Question 7

my tow year old kick me on my eye while wearing glasses but i still felt the kick hard and i being having mild eye pain .the eye is not red o black or anything . should i still go to the eye doctor? should i get worried? i dont know what to do.

Accepted Answer

See below: If there is no redness, bruising, or change in vision, you may watch and wait. If any of these things appears or worsens, do see a doctor.
Get Covid vaccine.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

how to improve my eye sight without wearing glasses?

Accepted Answer

No way: You cannot do that.  You cannot change the structure of the eye through exercises or other modalities.

Question 9

do your eyes get tired from wearing glasses a long time?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: This is likely to be due to being overworked or to tension.  You might need a rest from your study, or a refreshing hobby that stimulates you.  If you are not used to glasses, it might be hard to wear them at first, but it should get easier with time.
