I am 15 years old (girl) i Just got my glasses about 6 months ago. I am nearsighted and its .5 and i have 15/20 vision. Is there any way? i don’t really have to wear my glasses all the time, only when i cant see things that are far way however for the past 2 months i am having trouble reading the tv screen and in my laptop. and now i am wearing my glasses frequently. Is there anyway to improve my vision, and bring it back to 20/20 ?

Many things can change the curvature of your lens, sometimes the genes in a family — everyone ends up with glasses before they are 21 … some in their 60 never wore any … usually, mild changes can be returned to 20/20 with certain eye exercises. But one of the worst offenders is having diabetes and not keeping it under control, another is going outside in any weather any time of the year without wearing 100% protection from all sides from UV A, B, and C light, which can damage your eyes. Also, being in from of TV and computers you will find people don’t blink enough and dry out their eyes and have to resort to using eye drops.
Some will go for laser surgery to change the lens back to when you could see 20/20. But there are also problems with any surgery and wearing glasses is not the worse treatment, really, even if you are 15—in life, there are things you can get that can’t be fixed …. like vision changes with intracranial hypertension, migraines, various drugs you are taking (some that are not good, like Ecstasy, can be a real problem for your health and eyes).
If you are on a computer for a long time, take breaks like every 30-40 min. and get away from TVs etc. so your eyes will adjust from such tense work and go back to blinking more. Also, being in bright lights all the time is not good, or in the sun too much. That is why it is so very important to wear dark sunglasses that keep the UV light from not getting to any part of your eyes …. fancy expensive sunglasses just don’t protect enough and so many people do not take care of their eyes right until a problem pops up. So, get a good exam—even get computer/tinted glasses for close work. I even have a magnifying light for sewing–so your eyes are important and you should have another exam.

If you stay away from computers, TVs, etc your eyes will naturally get better.
