My grandmother had glaucoma and my father got diagnosed with it last year or so, luckily it's not very bad but he has to take these special eyedrops every night to prevent further damage. So it's genetic
Well, during puberty the constant changes in growth is somewhat related to vision... the eyeball is changing shape at a rapid growth and during that time your eyesight can diminish at a very fast pace... This is when usually optoms prescribe you hard lenses which basically tries to force your vision back to normal.. or at least slow down the crazy growth..nic56 said:i noticed i couldnt read the bored when i was in year 10 (2004) . No one in my family wuld believe me. It wasnt until november last year (2005) that i finally went and go my eyes tested. i nearly fell over when they told me my presciption. it was 1.25 in my right or sumthing like than and then even worse in my left eye bout 1.75 i think. I was struggling to see the board again. I went back and got my eyes tested again about a month ago and both eyes has gotton worse, left eye 2.25 and right eye 1.75. I wear glasses and prescription sunglasses for school and everyday and wear daily contacts for sport. thank goodness for sumone inventing contacts. I was really surprises that my eyes had become so bad in such a short time. I thought as i got older they may have gotten better.
thats my dribble about my poor eye sight that doesnt seem to be that bad after reading some of the others.

Is laser eye surgery guaranteed yet?CSI: CRIMES ™ said:damn thats bad, isnt there like laser treatment, i heard some kind of treatment that you sleep with some kind of contacts(it helps to shape your eye lense i think) and during the day you can take it off and dont need glasses and your eyes are perfect (cost kind of like how you get braces, around those prices)
You need to show it's stable for >12 months?AntiHyper said:There is a minimum age at which you can get a laser eye surgery. It is not 18, they believe that your eyes are still developing beyond 18 years old. You also need to show that your eyesight has been stable for at least 12 months.
If it's below $5k, then it's a good investment imo. Get it while you're young to maximise the benifit. Do one eye at a time, so at least you can still see while it's healing.
