Is this normal? Why can I see better close-up withOUT my glasses or contacts than I can with them?
Q. When I am reading, for example, I can see MUCH more clear withOUT my glasses or contacts than I can see WITH glasses or contacts!
I'm 33, severally nearsighted, and have been since birth. I was also born with Strabismus which I had 6 corrective surgeries for. This means that I don't have binocular vision, can't see 3D imagines, and have no concept of depth (if that means anything at all).
This has been going on for at least 2 decades, so it has absolutely nothing to do with all of my different contacts/glasses prescriptions throughout the years.
Your thoughts?
@HWFiedler: I've never noticed that... very interesting!

A. It's complicated, but it has to do with the optics of the telescope. If you've ever looked through one, you know that it magnifies. If you've ever turned it around you will have noticed that what you see is much smaller. Look at someone wearing a strong myopic correction and notice that their eyes look small. A very far-sighted person, with glasses on, will appear to have larger eyes. So, the combination of your eye and the high minus lens of your glasses make a reversed telescope, hence the smaller image.
Is there a fourth option other than being nearly blind?
Q. Okay option one: contact lenses
Option 2: glasses
Option 3: surgery
Is there another option to help me see without having to do any of these????

A. Hi Jai,
First of all, you do not say what your visual problem is.
Second, based on the other question you asked recently about your health you probably need to have your general health problems resolved before you try to deal with vision problems. I say this because many health problems such as blood sugar imbalances, blood pressure problems and nutritional factors can have significant impact on proper vision and these need to be addressed BEFORE you try to correct your visual problems.
Third, you do not mention (and may not wish to reveal medical information) if you have any medications that are being taken that could be influencing your vision or have been diagnosed with any problems such as ADD or ADHD which may be related to treatable visual dysfunction.
Once you have addressed the second issue I would suggest you look into getting a comprehensive work up by a functional or behavioral optometrist. These are eye doctors who specialize in diagnosis and treatment of vision problems associated with the VISION PROCESS not just EYESIGHT.
Traditional optometry exams are primarily concerned with correcting eyesight to 20/20 , eliminating distortion caused by problems such as astigmatism and compensation for inflexibility associated with aging or disease. Behavioral optometrists, on the other hand, concentrate on the relationship between eyesight and the mental process of interpreting what is seen. Experts in behavioral optometry evaluate how eyes work together to create a 3D image, help patients to achieve "normal" fields of vision and depth perception and to get the maximum visual capability. This is done by using visual training programs, eye exercises and other non-invasive procedures and techniques as well as traditional eyeglass & contact lens prescriptions.
These techniques MAY be another option that is appropriate to your situation and are worth considering especially if you have experienced problems with reading, comprehension of concepts, or sports & physical activities.
Hope that helps. Feel free to email me if you need more information.

Is it possible to go back to a 20/20 eyesight?
Q. Just curious because I wouldn't want to wear glasses all my life. And please don't suggest surgery.
A. Most people intuitively feel that there is something wrong with getting blurry vision and they feel that Artificial Corrections(glasses, contacts, surgery) throw them off balance. Many people who get glasses for the first time notice that they take away their 3D vision and reduce their visual experience.
Natural Eyesight Improvement Teachers know that blurry vision and Artificial corrections are incorrect for most people. They know that blur is a sign that we are using our eyes, mind, and body together incorrectly. Their students notice a huge reduction in tension and strain when they practice clear vision behaviors and draw off the tension of blurry vision habits.
The best ways to learn about Natural Perfect Eyesight are to read from the best books like the one I have an Amazon link to on my website. The best ways to return to natural perfect eyesight are with the help of the best Natural Eyesight Improvement teachers nearest you.

is there any way you can get rid of your contacts and glasses and still see with out laser eye surgrey?
Q. i have been wearing glasses and contact for a long timen i whould do anything to get rid or them
A. I tried a vision improvement program I found on the internet. It produced results but they were not entirely the results I wanted. I am mildly farsighted with a moderate degree of astigmatism in my left eye. I wanted to try and correct the astigmatism. I did the exercises for months and corrected my right eye, lowered the spherical portion of the prescription in my left eye, and the astigmatism got a little worse.
The program also said it would help with vision in low light situations, light sensitivity and a variety of other things which for the most part it did. I suprised my mother and grandmother that I could easily read the text in a book with only a dim nightlight on without glasses or contacts. It takes lots of dedication to completing the exercises every day, but I feel it was worth it. As I see it you are no worse off for trying than you were before.
I still have issues with distance vision in my left eye and wear one contact lens. My glasses also only have a prescription in one eye.
I also want to add that I had strabismus surgery as a child so the muscles in my eyes still do not function correctly. I was not able to do the exercises in the program that required stereoscopic (3D) vision very well and that may have contributed to not acheiving the full desired results.
Good Luck!
