Yes: There are ways to improve your vision from dietary and vitamin supplements, to corrective lenses, to laser surgery, to implantable lenses. Many options can be specific to your needs or particular problem. Follow with an eye doctor for evaluation.

Improving vision?: It is possible to improve some visual problems and some of them may not be able to be ameliorated. The best thing to do is to go to an ophthalmologist (o) and discuss any vision problems with the o to get a better answer in your particular case. Good luck.

Depends: If the vision is diminished by a need for glasses, then get them or contacts. If there is disease, the it should be treated. Some things cannot be treated like neglected disease or hereditary problems. See your ophthalmologist for a diagnosis.
