Do you have high eye number? Why does it keeps increasing?

[Anonymous]

When I was 6 I got a eye number of -0.25 but didn't wear glasses because I was able to see most of the things. From then on it's continuously increasing. I am 18 now and I have high eye number of -9.75. I'd this something related to heredity? My twin sister has recently got a eye number of -1.75. Why my eye number is so high? My parents don't have, my grandparents had no eye number till 102 age. Is this because I study too much or any other thing? I have always been a scholar and 1st ranker. Is this same with you?

What's your physical health like? How physically robust would you say you are compared to your peers?

What's your diet like? Certain senses (and therefore the acuity of) are linked to (the health of) certain organs in Chinese medicine. Eyes, to the liver.

General dietary recommendations: "Summarizing the foods which actively weaken and damage the liver:

refined salt.

animal protein and fats.

foods with simple sugar content- dairy products like milk, ice cream, cream; alcohol; all fruits.

all foods and drinks with refined sugar content- soft drinks, fruit juices, sports drinks.

all refined, processed foods, including refined flour products.

all cold producing foods like raw food, salads.

all spicy, hot foods.

any alcohol." Essentially the mainstay of most peoples' diets :) Note, this advice should be taken in the context of a thorough understanding of a macrobiotic diet, (one centred on whole grains and vegetables) not taken into isolation.

Aside from that good general habits relating to the eyes. Balance your activity so you don't get eye-strain. No reading in low light. Take a break and do stuff where you use your distance vision after an hour of reading/desk sitting. Think of how a human would be naturally. If they do anything to extremes, it's natural that it should be damaging.

You overused your eyes. It happens like this. When you need a rest, take it. Don't stresss out your eyeballs.

Old people 's eye sight normally improve when they don't use it as much as they were younger.

Thank. Side note. Wearing glasses will gradually increase the short sightedness. Contact lens dont have that effect.
