What can be done for improving eyesight?

Hi,

Welome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through what you have mentioned in your query. It is quite a common sight here to see people as young as you with a power of -7 to -8. So, there is nothing serious in this. You have mentioned that your power is -7 but you have not mentioned how much you are able to see with it, it is usually mentioned as a fraction of 6 (example 6/6, 6/9,6/12 and so on). 6/6 by is considered as normal, and for most practical purpose 6/9 is also fine. Solutions we are having although there are no treatments to cure your power, you can get LASIK/ PRK/ SMILE surgery done to get rid of glasses. We usually recommend a period of stable of power for atleast 6 months before you can make this move. Else you can opt for contact lenses. Though they do not treat your power, they offer cosmetic benefit. Now coming to the problems that people with high powers face - Retinal detachment and amblyopia. Retinal problems including bleeding. The only way to avoid these is to see your ophthalmologist atleast once a year where we will be putting in drops to check your retina. The problem that you are facing is a challenging one but with proper follow up you will be able to avoid most of the problems that I have mentioned and be able to lead a productive life.
