      As I have terrible eyesight myself…three things you can do.

      1. Wear glasses (me right now)
      2. Get contact lenses (also me when I’m in the mood for them)
      3. Laser eye surgery

      Glasses are of course the low tech solution, contacts are fantastic and give you great freedom, and is great for me as its nicer not having glass in front of your face, really helps with sports! I remember playing rugby without my glasses, I couldn’t see anything (I’ll leave it to your imagination when I couldn’t see the ball! đŸ™‚ ). Eventually I hope to get laser eye surgery, but I’d approach this with caution if your eyesight keeps changing, as you don’t want to pay thousands on it and then keeps getting worse!

      Chris is totally right, but eye health is important too. You should always protect your eyes from sun, especially when they have light colors like blue or hazel. You can also eat good vegetables and fruits, as well as fish and nuts, to get the healthy proteins and vitamins your eyes need. I think we also have to be careful of looking at computers and phones too often- It’s important to look away from the screen often!

      I don’t think I can improve on those answers, great advice đŸ™‚ I have to wear my glasses when I’m using a computer, so screens definitely can strain your eyes.
