Can looking at an eye chart every day improve my eyesight?

Q. I have myopia and I have printed out an eye chart. By looking at the chart from 20 feet away improve my eyesight? I am exercising my eyes so I hope to get good results.

A. Sorry, but looking at or trying to read the eye chart even 10 times a day, will not improve your vision Additionally there is no scientific proof that eating carrots, or other veggies containing beta-carotene and lycopene or practicing eye exercises will improve your vision to any noticeable extent.

In order to maintain good eyesight, do not smoke and try to avoid second hand smoke, eat a healthy diet with lots of red, yellow and green vegetables and see an eye specialist every few years.

Perhaps when your vision has stabilized, between the age of 18-25, you can get Lasik (vision correction surgery). Hopefully, by the time you are in your mid twenties, the surgery will be safer and some of the dangerous risks will have been eliminated. It is quite expensive and not covered by health insurance. If you ever decide to have this surgery, be sure to investigate the procedure thoroughly, There is a lot of information on the internet.


I had lasic surgery on my eyes abt 2yrs ago and they get really red and dry, what is the best medication?
Q. My eyes really hurt and get blury, sometimes with a film like substance in them. What can use to make this better?

A. Your first step is to visit your eye doctor. Dry eyes commonly present the symptoms you describe, but there may be more serious problems causing your difficulties.

What kind of treatment you need depends upon the exact nature and cause of your red, dry eyes. The tear film itself has three layers and each needs something different. The channels that carry the tear liquids can be squeezed closed by inflammation, so an anti-inflammatory like Restasis may be appropriate. The punctum drains away the dirty tears and needs to regulate the loss of tears. Allergies and allergy medications can present the same symptoms as dry eyes.

If you are going to use artifical tears, then preservative-free artifical tears are almost always the best. The preservatives used in artificial tears are a mild toxin. Frequent use can build up the toxin and irritate the eyes. Preservative-free artificial tears come in single use vials and are a bit more expensive than the ones that come in a multi-use bottle.
