myopia and glasses
Posted: 08-02-08 10:22am

I suffer from myopia, I am 21 years old and it's getting worse slightly (now i wear contact lenses -3.75/-3.5 and glasses another -0.25).

My question is - what is better - to wear weaker glasses/lenses or stronger glasses/lenses to have a perfect sight with them?

A am studying computer science at university and therefore is often necessity for me to work with computer even the whole day. However, as even my optician said it, this is probably not the main source of my problems, though it might speed up worsening process a bit. I guess it is true, since lots of people I know, who work with computers even more often than me, don't have any problems with their vision. However there is something, that I realise is really not too good. My screen is in front of the window (there is no way to place it elsewhere), so there is often a reflection when sun shines (there is no direct sun though). I purchased HP LCD screen with antireflex layer and if possible i use Venetian blinds, but often it's necessery to have light inside the room.

Do you have any advice for me to improve working environment somehow? (without replacing computer screen).

But back to my main question. I feel that if I wear glasses that are weaker I need, then my sight is worsing only slightly. If I change glasses/lenses to stronger one (let's say less than -0.1 per 6 month I guess), sight relatively quickly gets worse to initial state (relatively of course) , it means even almost -0.25 per 2 months and then again normally only slightly.

What would you recommend? Maybe it is just my feeling, I made no measurments ... May it be harmful for eyes to wear weaker or stronger lenses/glasses? What is better for vision development, weaker glasses or stronger glasses to have perfect sight?


P.S.: Sorry for possible vocab/grammar mistakes, I am not a native English speaker.
