A member asked:

How can i get better eye vision, or stop it from getting worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Better glasses: You probably, at your age, are noting the progression of presbyopia - the progressive difficulty of seeing at near. This will increase until you reach about 52 and then it will stop at that level. This is a natural progression and you cannot stop it - only correct it with a prescription from an ophthalmologist.

My optometrist has been unable to correct the vision in my left eye to 20/20, however I can see 20/20 through a pinhole spectacle. Regarding Higher Order Aberrations do they ever disappear/resolve or do they tend to get worse with time?
