Question
i heard that i could emprove my shortsightedness by looking out into the distance without my glasses on. Does that actually work? What are some ways i can imporve/conserve my vision so it doesnt get any worst?
Thanks
Answer
90% of vision disorders are hereditary. That being said, I don't know that "looking out at a distance" without eyeglasses will correct any vision problems or prevent it from getting worse. I, myself, am nearsighted and wear contact lenses to correct my myopia and certainly would have done anything to prevent my dependency on eyeglasses or contact lens vision correction. My best suggestion is to make sure you are getting the proper nutrition with an abundance of high anti-oxidents, fruit and vegetables , and protect your eye from the sunlight with good UV sunglasses and never smoke and see your eye doctor yearly for a comprehensive eye exam. Hope this helps
