Ah, that stage is still a long time away for me. I wish you the best.

With all due respect, MedicineMan, you are correct. There are some people who use computers more than others and they don't get Myopia. There are genes that control the acquirement of myopia and they are inherited from family. I have good news though, at the rate my myopia is going, I'll be...

I must agree with you, but really, this all narrows down to this. It's your body, whatever you find and assess yourself should be included in any assessment of the parts of your body you're assessing. So if I find my vision deteriorating with ... reading 10cm from the page, then I will increase...

And my eyes are stable at -3.5 for the past 4 months. My 'excercises' (wearing + lenses, taking glasses off often, focusing and straining on extreme distances), only reverse myopia at like -2 power or under (proof, my brother, he's 20/20 but was 20/70, got -1.25 glasses, now he can't use them...

I'm the only myopic guy in my entire family, the entire family tree on my side is either normal or hyperbolic vision. I completely disagree with the genetic component. It is acquired here is why I believe so: The first glasses I got was -2.5 at around 12 years of age. I became very eye concerned...

I didn't say reverse completely, I said stop the progress. @ ModIRMike - Are you sure it's the lens that causes myopia? Last time I researched It was the shape of the eye.

Well, I found some rather hidden articles on the internet and decided to try them out and they seem to be working. My vision was -3.5 my last eye exam, it is still -3.5. (I wear -3.25) http://www.chinamyopia.org/stopmyopiaenglish.htm That's about stopping the progression of myopia using +...

LASIK is risky after completed for the following reason: LASIK does not shape the eye to the correct shape. LASIK eye surgery is a procedure where eye doctors slice off the top layer of the cornea and then use a powerful laser to reshape (disintegrate tissue) of the cornea to form sort of a...

I apologize. According to a chart I found showing some of the trades and their health requirements, only some engineering trades are V3, most are V4, but the one I want is not on there. However, the similar one is V3 (Airfield). If all engineering trades are with the majority (V4) then I should...

This is not about vision sir, you have misunderstood me. This is about alternatives to Construction Engineering Officer if I hold a degree in Civil Engineering, in the Canadian Forces. Thank you, Good sir! :)

Good Morning All, I plan on becoming a civil engineer and then joining the CF but I'm worried about my vision and how it will affect me to join. If I can recall correctly, to be a construction engineer officer I must have V3 vision. If I don't have V3 vision when applying, is there any other...

Yes of course, Excuse me. Anyhow, I will look for a V4 Alternative if i turn out to be V4 and I need better. Hopefully the career I want works with V4 but we'll see then.

Thank you all, I will see what happens when I actually join because I'm 20/100 vision according to my personal assessment. In the regular Snellen test, from 20 feet away I can see the first 2 or three rows of letters. But my prescription is so strong. We'll see when I join. Thank you all for...

Hello everyone! Right now I'm seventeen years old, and in school hoping to become a Construction Engineer Officer in the Canadian Forces after University. I'm fit, I have perfect health, except one thing, my eyes. I have been wearing glasses since 2006, and as of now I'm wearing -3.25 glasses...

I wear 12 Regular, only because I can't find shoes wide enough, so I compensate with length. There is about an inch from the toe of my foot to the toe of the shoe. These are the boots I'd like to purchase, they seem to be 13.5 Inches tall. My current shoes are 12.75 inches tall (the size 12...
