How to keep my eyes uptodate? my eyesight is getting deamer and deamer everyday??
Question: I use to eat carrots, beatroots and even check with the eye clinics but, beacuse of the use of computers and old age my eyesight get deamer and deamer, I need help, because I depend a lot on my eyes for earning my living. Without them, life will become very difficult.
Answers: wear your prescription eyeglasses, rest your eyes when you feel tired for about 5minutes, dont force your eyes when you dont see bec. it can increase blurring of the eyes
Don't use the computer and TV or any other technology so much. And when you do use the tech then stay a safe distance away.
Go for an eyetest at your local opticians.
Looking at screens for long periods of time may give you a headache, but they cannot alter your vision. Your eyesight only worsens due to the shape of your eye & the ability of your lens to focus light. When we get older, the lens loses that ability, so we have trouble seeing things up close.
Despite what infomercials & people tell you, there is nothing you can do to prevent this from happening. You just need new glasses.
Looking at the computer or a TV has nothing to do with it. Some peoples eyesight gets worse over time due to age.
It's probably more genetic than anything else.
Just get glasses or contacts and get a check up every year or two.
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye. Looking through a cloudy lens is like trying to see through a frosty or fogged-up window. Clouded vision can make it more difficult to read, drive a car — especially at night — or see the expression on a friend's face. Cataracts commonly affect distance vision and cause problems with glare. They generally don't cause surface irritation or pain.
Clouding of the lens is a normal part of getting older. About half of Americans older than 65 have some degree of clouding of the lens. After age 75, as many as 70 percent of Americans have cataracts that are significant enough to impair their vision.
Most cataracts develop slowly and don't disturb your eyesight early on. But as the clouding progresses, the cataract eventually interferes with your vision.
In the early stages, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with the vision problems. But at some point, if impaired vision jeopardizes your normal lifestyle, you might need surgery. Fortunately, cataract removal is one of the safest, most effective and most common surgical procedures.
Signs and symptoms
A cataract usually develops slowly and causes no pain. At first, the cloudiness may affect only a small part of the lens and you may be unaware of any vision loss. Over time, however, as the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens. When significantly less light reaches your retina, your vision becomes impaired.
Symptoms of a cataract include:
Clouded, blurred or dim vision
Increasing difficulty with vision at night
Sensitivity to light and glare
Halos around lights
The need for brighter light for reading and other activities
Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
Fading or yellowing of colors
Double vision in a single eye
If you have a cataract, light from the sun, lamps or oncoming headlights may seem too bright. Glare and halos around lights can make driving uncomfortable and dangerous. You may experience eyestrain or find yourself blinking more often to clear your vision.
Cataracts don't typically cause any change in the appearance of your eye. Pain, redness, itching, irritation, aching in your eye or a discharge from your eye aren't signs or symptoms of a cataract, but may be signs and symptoms of other eye disorders.
A cataract isn't dangerous to the physical health of your eye unless the cataract becomes completely white, a condition known as an overripe (hypermature) cataract. This can cause inflammation, pain and headache. A hypermature cataract is very uncommon, but it requires removal if it's associated with inflammation or pain.

Your eyes are getting dimmer or vision is blurrier?? That would not be caused from using computers. Computers do cause eyestrain, but if you aren't seeing things as brightly, need more light to read, then that points to a possible retinal disorder that needs to be evaluated for treatment. If your vision is blurrier, that can mean either cataracts, need stronger lenses, have presbyopia (where you cannot see things close up like you used to), or there are many other eye conditions that have blurry vision as a symptom.
I too use my eyes constantly for my job, so I understand how much losing sight would impact work, daily activities, and the like.
You need a full dilated exam to fully evaluate both the front part of your eye (refractive error...or glasses correction) and the back part of your eye (rods, cones...the sensory part of your eye that takes images, 'sends' them to the optic nerve then to the brain).
General recommendations my ophthalmologists give to patients is to have an eye exam every one to two years. If there are other eye conditions present, that interval decreases...a lot. Some conditions require monitoring every couple of months.
It's hard to say what exactly is causing your vision loss...retinal, cataracts, or just need a stronger glasses prescription...so see your eye doctor...They know what to look for and can prescribe treatment to fit your individual situation. Because you need your eyes so much for your job...then you need to get in to be seen sooner than your 1-2 years.
You've already got some wonderful responses to your problem.
It sounds like you have presbyopia which indicates you are having difficulty bending the lens. The lens gets bigger and harder as we age, so by the age of 40 or so, it just takes too much energy to bend the light and we get help...readers of some sort.
The cataract described would fog your vision. But you are saying that it's dimmer.
That indicates that your lens is getting darker, which is also normal. But some people's lenses get darker sooner. This would cause poor night vision, and things getting dim...all the time. This brunescense is a type of cataract and some lenses get REALLY dark, you'd be surprised.
The macular degeneration thing results in damage to the center part of the retina, the macula. People don't complain of 'dim' vision, they say the can't make out the letters anymore, or faces, or details. You seem 'young' so if you've any macular problem, the 'sound' of your complaint would be different. If it's the 'dry' kind, it'd be in both eyes, and things wouldn't be dim, they'd be gone. If it were the 'wet' kind, the onset would be sudden. Can't see out of my eye since yesterday!
If you have brunescent cataracts, as the lady said in the other answer, it's major surgery to you, to your eye, but in the scheme of things, it's done all the time, all over the US and world. Takes about 15 minutes these days. You walk in, sit down, lay down, do the surgery, sit up, have some orange juice or ? juice and pastry, go home with your patch, take a few drops for a week....and you see.
