Eyesight getting worse

Your eyes may still get worse even though you wear glasses. They just correct what you are now. I think your eyes change until you're 21, but even then they can change later.

Astigmatism is when your eyes are shaped like rugby balls rather than footballs.

You're more short sighted in your right eye than your left.

better glasses?

Rugby balls,lol, I knew I was deformed in one eye My eye is itchy now thinking about it.

Thnaks for that,the good thing is, I used to be more short sighted in my left, but my left got better and my right got worse.

Do you thinks its wise for me to get contact lenses? Cos if I get glasses now, theyre going to be thick lenses My current ones arent clear anymore, and if I purchase new glasses/lenses, I wont get them for another week, cos they need special lenses, and I have my stupid driving test soon

Also I have another problem, cos I have a very small face, I usually have to get kiddie glasses, and they told me to get adult glasses for thick lenses.
No way am I wearing huge glasses, plus the nicer ones are dead expensive, for gods sake
I just feel like screaming

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WTF?! No it doesn't!
Astigmatism is when the back of your eyes (don't know the English word - you know, deep inside your eyes on which the image reflects) is like, broken. I think crooked rather than smooth. It's got nothing to do with the shape of your eyes (imagine all those poor Chinese people with glasses). I mean, he'd have to have 1 round and 1 'rugby' eye.

I have it too btw. And your sight is still pretty good trust me. I'm like, -10 and -8.5 or sth.

They can make the glass thinner for you and with -3 they can't be very thick!

Just go to the optometrist and get a new prescription. Yes, glasses can encourage your eyesight to get better but if you are naturally disposed to have it get worse then it probably will.

1) Whats an astigmatism? I have this in my left eye.
2) I have been told to get toric lenses, if I want contact lenses, are there daily toric lenses?

Then why was my optician scaring me, he kept saying they will be thick, they will be thick.

I dont know if Ive read my prescription right, lol, the optician has put a line over the first number

astigmatism is irregular curvature of the eye - not necessarily like a rugby ball because it depends on the angle. I have it in both my eyes.

My optician told me that if the astigmatism is horizontal or vertical it can be corrected by daily lenses but because mine is oblique I have to have toric lenses - these are only available as monthlies unfortunately but I was told that they are working on inventing daily ones. But to be honest monthly contacts have worked out fine for me - using solutions etc seems like a lot more work but its not really.

Also I have found that contacts have really improved my vision, so perhaps they are worth a go. But they don't come cheap - £27.50 a month for ProClear toric lenses and solution.

hope this helps!
