Question
This is going to sound rather strange,
I have mild shortsightednes, but ive got this weird ability to make my eyes go blurrier on demand and then clear, i tend to do this more when im daydreaming or quite tired, its especially noticable when ive got my glasses on
is this normal and what are my eyes doing when this happens?i made my eyes go like taht once when i was in the opticians on their autorefrecator machine and it gave me a really high reading and after the subjective bit, the doctor lowered the prescription . is doing that blurry thing with my eyes a signal taht i could be more short sighted than i already am?
Answer
Dear Daisy,
you are probably able to do this because the eyes use muscles to make things crisper.
However, not being able to examine you, you must annually check your eyes with an optometrist.
This will determine if you are shortsighted enough to require to use glasses.
However, autorefractometer is not the ideal way to check your numbers, please check them in an eye clinic.
