Is nearsightedness caused by too much screen time reverse able?

[Anonymous]

I wear glasses just recently because of this but I hate them. I want good eyesight, but I spend about 5-12 hours a day infront of a screen because I have nothing else to do. I do my school work and when I'm done I sit in front of a screen the rest of the day. I'm homeschooled and I'm not allowed to go outside alone so I'm never outside because my parents don't have time to take me out. I'm outside like once a week. My mom keeps on complaining that I am running my eyesight even more and I am aware of that, but what else can I do? I'm just inside all day, and now I'm crying because I miss when I had good eyesight. Is this fixable without lasik eye surgery or am I doomed to have bad eyes for the rest of my life?

The best solution if this is a case of temporary short sightness. Then you need to simply take some time AWAY from the screen. And just rest your eyes and take some proper breaks when you go back to using the screened device.

If you’re nearsighted it means you can see things clearly up close but sounds like you need glasses to read the screen so you’re farsighted but unfortunately it has to do with age and genetics

But can I fix my nearsightedness?

Only Lasik surgery, I have seen eye exercises to fix it but don’t know how well that works, supposedly bilberry supplements help eyesight also

Fuck my life, well thank you for the answer anyways.

It’s not so bad if you only need them for reading but I guess when you get older you can get the surgery on your own

You can opt for lazer surgery.

So there isn't any other option than surgery? My parents are strictly against any surgery.

@asker, well, you are not going to be living with your parents for the rest of your life

@DEondeBeaumont I don't want to ruin my relationship with them though.

Then don't tell them. That is none of their business if you are an adult. Right now, they need to know. But later, it is none of their business. Just wear fake lenses when you see them.
