Why is it that eyesight never gets better? January 4, 2010
What I mean is, when you have an eyesight problem, the doc gives you a prescription for corrective lenses. And your eyes never get better. If A doc gives you a prescription for when you are sick, and (hopefully) the prescription makes you better, but the eyes always seem to go downhill, even if you are a constant contact lens wearer. Why is this?
what if it’s a child? or a teenager?, My daughter is only 9, and she first got glasses last year, now this year she needed a stronger prescription?
because we get older everyday, every hour every minute, every second
Eyesight does ocaissionally get better. Eyesight is always changing. There is a general eyesight erosion with age, but with regards to young people, they can often grow in and out of different prescriptions, and diabetes and certain nuerological disorders can change eyesight, even temporarily improving it. Corrective lenses are meant to correct your vision while you’re wearing them, not to improve your vision for when you take them off.
The older you get, the thicker and less compliant the lens of the eye becomes. It gets harder for the eye muscles to squeeze the lens into the correct shape to focus, so glasses (or surgeries) are needed to make up for this.
In Singapore there is a surgery call LASIK which is to correct the vision with laser.It will help up to a certain degree .
My wife has done them and now she does not wear glasses.
its the physics that go along with the eyes. it is DIFFICULT to change the angle back once it has moved.
the older you get the older your body gets.
your body is a living organ and over time it wears out.
Just like our bodies the older we get the less likely we are to move freely
