A member asked:
Is there a way to prevent my eye sight from going down? already wearing glasses. do electronic devices,such as computers and phones have an effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No proven way: Hopefully your vision is changing due to a need for increasing eyeglass or contact lens strength. There may be some further changes in this direction but when you get to be about 23, you will be eligible for LASIK corrective surgery which will take care of the problem.
