My sight seems to have improved?

This is really weird,I,m 58years old and over the last few weeks have noticed my sight improving.I,ve been wearing varyfocals for about five years now( about a grand for two pairs).I can now see as well if not better without them even reading.I know a little about sight as my first full time job ,a while back,was in an opticians.I,ve never heard of somebody of my age getting better eyesight.I,ve stopped using my nebuliser and cut down my steroids to 4mg,lowest this year,could that be the reason?Once again my health has me baft! D.

Last time I went to the optician they checked my eyes twice because I needed new varifocals as my sight had improved......I thought maybe it was because I am oxygen. The oxygen is to protect the organs and the eyes are an organ! Keep smiling.

My hubby"s eyesight suddenly improved.

The optitian said it was due to the change of his medications. ..

Which one am uncertain, but it was something to do with the heart.

Now sad to say he,s developing a cataract

Interesting FarmerD I went to the optician on Friday and he said my eyesight had improved slightly. He said this sometimes happens as we get older, also said that if I live to be 190 I will have perfect eyesight!! (I am 62) Can't wait!

Hi, I think long sight can improve with age, but also I find nebulised Combivent affects my eyesight both long and short term. I was advised to keep my eyes shut when I was using my nebuliser which can help.

Strange because I have had the same this last year or so. My eyes started to improve and are continuing to do so. I used to wear them for driving but don't need them driving anymore. Even my reading sight is improving. It could be that I use oxygen for mobility now and that is protecting my eyes. I just thought is was weird but it seems i am not alone in this..

How peculiar! I have googled it but can't find anything. Can you get a refund on your glasses? :) x

Hi Ona,I get so much spam from those laser eye people it puts me off,I'd probably have to have it done every year so I.ll stick to the specs,Regards D. Ps. That,s Dizzle, he,s twice that size now,must catch a new pic of him.

Hi Farmer,it depends on how bad your eyes are also how long since yoi had them tested.Its worth checking with the NHS if you qualify for free glasses.Hope you get on allright with,let us know,good luck mags
