It's nice to see a thread like this for us shortsighted people. I've always wanted to ask this question just incase we have any ophthalmologist in this thread... is it possible to be born shortsighted? Does looking too close to those old school box TVs cause myopia? For all I can remember, I grew up shortsighted, I repeated KG2 because of my sight. I started using glasses in primary one up until SS2. In my school then, you were expected to be a nerd if you wore glasses so during exams, the below average students hustle the life out of you to get some expo. I somehow got tired of that and I used to have pain at the back of my ears from always wearing glasses so I opted for contacts.The day I wore contacts to school for the first time, I'll never forget that day, I told my classmates I could see clearly without my glasses, they said I was wining them, blind battimeaus like me. They decided to test me, I stood at one end of the class while another classmate of mine threw a pen my way, if you see the jubilation when I caught the pen, battimeaus wasn't blind anymore. Ive been using contacts ever since, I'm 33 now and my refractive index is -9. It's not been an easy road but at it's best, I've enjoyed using contacts. Along the line, carelessness has cost me a few. I've suffered from ulcer of the cornea, bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation of the conjunctival sac and lots more. I was lucky when I had ulcer of the cornea, I ran to the best ophthalmologists office and she saved my eyes at the nice of time and my vision was pure white for days before it started clearing up. I would do lasik someday but definitely not in Naija, Nepa is not to be trusted. 6 Likes |

ebig21: True... but even abroad... I prefer glasses than do surgery for normal shortsightedness. |

Prism: The optician is not increasing it. Myopia gets worse with age. After age 40, it stabilizes and may remain like that. I started with -3.5. I am now using -6.5. But it has not deteriorated for years 1 Like |

salt1: the possibility of rectifying a failed cataract surgery is very very very low. But you do not know that for sure. only a detailed dilated examination will tell you what is going on. It could be a posterior capsular opacity, a retina problem etc... Just get a good examination from a competent center |

determination26:everybody with Myopia was born with it, and it has no cure. but can be managed |

LADEMINUS: True. But I know of a girl that got blind after a failed cataract surgery. She was blind for five years. The corrective surgery was done at Eye Foundation and she has since returned to the university to do her undergraduate programme. I'm not marketing them. I don't even work there but my whole family use them. My old mother has also done cataract corrective surgery there and her partial blindness was restored. |

Even if you intend to do the lasik surgery in the future just abort it.Continue wearing your glasses or contact lens now you have discovered your actual prescription. |
