Eyesight

Myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), and astigmatism (distorted vision) are what as know as refractive errors.

I have been having myopia and astigmatism since I was 16. Anyway, I have also found wearing glasses a chore and contact lenses would dry my eyes. The cause(s) of myopia is an inherited condition that usually affect children. Ok, I know I had myopia way too late..But, whoever said that the eyes will never fail?

Anyway, myopia is best treated with eyeglasses and contact lenses which compensate for the elongated shape of the eye allowing the light to focus properly on the retina. As children (and their eyes) grow through the teen years, the condition typically worsens and then levels off in adulthood. During this growing period, new eyeglasses may be needed as often as every six months to correct the problem.

There is no scientific evidence that contact lenses or eye exercises stop the progression of myopia. *Refractive surgery* is available as a treatment for myopia but most ophthalmologists-medically trained eye doctors-feel that eyes with simple myopia would best be treated with glasses or contact lenses.

If there is no scientific evidence, what would explain the drop of about 75 degrees from my right eye?Is it due to the "looking at far objects?","taking a break from the computer after 40 mins?" or "maintaining at least 1m apart from the eye to the book?"

But, I am glad that my eyesight has improved. Would it improve until I do not require glasses? I miss those days where I had PERFECT eyesight!
