is there any remedy for short sightedness?

LASIK surgery, where a thin layer of the cornea is sliced... so that the image that you see no longer falls short of the retina, but is directed to it due to the different angle that the light is refracted.

If you are short sighted your eye ball is too long. That means the refractive power of your lens is too strong, and it focuses any image in front of your retina instead right on it. As a result the image is blurry.\nAs the lens has to become more refractive anyway for looking at things close up, you don't have as much a problem there, actually you can see things still in focus at a shorter distance than normal sighted people can. (Look up accommodation of the eye, I've pasted the first website I came across at the bottom, but I am sure you can find more). \nIf you get glasses for short sightedness, they are the kind which disperse light more (concave) and that will correct for it. (Means also if you are stranded on a desert island you won't be able to use them to make fire.)\nGlasses do not make things worse, but that depends a lot of your age and the glasses. \nWhile you are growing up, your eyeball is still growing. If your eye is going to see a blurry image, all it can do to try to correct it is grow more. So if you are shortsighted and you don't wear glasses you may be in trouble, because that will make your short-sightedness worse. If your glasses are too strong for you, you will be also in trouble, because if your eyes are still thinking it's not right, they will also keep growing and having the glasses won't make any difference. \nBest is supposed to be that then you wear glasses which are slightly less than what you need, so if your eyeballs are getting a tiny bit longer they will actually be perfect vision and that should inhibit growth. \n\nIf you think you are shortsighted because you have been reading a lot/watching a lot of television/ computer you want to check if that short sightedness goes away if you don't do any of those things for a couple of days. Looking a lot a close things makes it harder for eyes to accommodate, they are doing that much slower. If you have something like this, you could consider getting glasses which are a little bit like the glasses for far sighted people. You only wear those while doing really close up things. That's supposed to prevent eye strain. If you get glasses for short sightedness for this specific condition they won't help you, they probably make things worse. \n\nTake home message: Glasses can be a good thing, but they have to be the correct ones, otherwise they can make things worse. \n\nIf you want to look in more details, funny as it may sound, there have been a lot of studies on chickens on how lenses affects eye sight.

Nutritional therapy\nThe following nutritional supplements may help improve vision:\n• Vitamin A: essential vitamin for healthy eyes.\n• Bioflavonoids. These plant chemicals can help myopic people see better, especially at night\n• Zinc: may improve night vision\n• Ginkgo extract: increases blood supply to the eye. It may help prevent deterioration in vision.\nSome eye care professionals recommend exercises to help improve circulation, reduce eye strain, and relax the eye muscles. The Bates method is a common set of exercises. It is possible that by combining exercises with changes in behavior, the progression of myopia may be slowed or prevented. Alternative treatments include: visual therapy (also referred to as vision training or eye exercises); discontinuing close work; reducing eye strain (taking a rest break during periods of prolonged near vision tasks); and wearing bifocals to decrease the need to accommodate when doing close-up work.

Yes, they can actually droop enough to impair vision.  If this happens, it can be surgically corrected.

What might work better is taking them to your eye doctor or optical shop to have them adjusted.  Most places will adjust your glasses for free even if you didn't purchase them there.

Aaaah!  Being short is not a disease that needs to be cured!  Eat a healthy diet, making sure you get enough protein every day.  You will grow.

Short sightedness :-\nalso known as myopia\nArises either frm a decrease in the focal length of the lense or frm an elongation of the eyeball!!Such a person  cant c distant objcts clearly.\nLong sightedness:--\nalso known as hypermetropia\nFor various reasons the eyeball of a person may contract in size or the focal length of the eye lense can increase..Such a person cant c objcts placed very near to the eye>>(note THAT PEOPLE WITH NORMAL VISION CAN C OBJCTS PLACED NEARER 2 THE EYE BY 25cms but a long sighted persn can c only when the objct is placed a little further than 25cms.

read info at http://www.preventblindness.org/TN/TN_LWSL_part2.html and if you see anything at that site which might describe your problem you need to see a vision specialist. Good luck !

I am sorry to say that it doesn't appear that this can be cured (although I am not a doctor):\n\nExpectations (prognosis)    \nThe disorder will continue to progress, though at a very slow pace. Complete blindness is uncommon\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001029.htm#Expectations%20(prognosis)

I had Lasik about an year ago.  My vision was quite bad, and is now 20/20.  I am very happy with the results.  Yes, Lasik can correct astigmatism.  I didn't have one myself but I read alot about it in the literature that they gave me.  But, cosidering your eyes aren't that bad, I'd really think about it because it is quite expensive!!

Carrots. Because they contain vitamins and rabbits don't wear glasses! Sorry couldn't resist! \n\nTry eye drops if your eyes are too dry. Also go to your optician and check that your eyes haven't deteriorated. You may need stronger glasses or a different type.

You can get glasses for myopia over the counter. Tesco, amongst others, sell them  and they have the maginification factor on a sticker.\n\nHowever, with eyesight, and the fact that your eyes may differ, it's best to consult an optician.
