dont matter if you have glasses on the computer. If you still watch too much tv or play computer too much the eye sight will get worse with glasses or without glasses. |

Well are you sure that her glasses help her see BETTER and not worse? If her glasses are under the wrong prescription, it will make her eyesight worse. Also, does she go on the computer and watch T.V. alot? That also causes a lot of eyestrain. Make sure that she doesn't read, do homework, watch T.V., or go on the internet in a dimly lighted room because that also causes ALOT of eyestrain. Trust me, I'm only 15, and I've been wearing glasses since I was six. So I know what I'm talking about. I can't do ANYTHING at all without proper lighting. :] Good luck. |

It's probably because shes growing so quickly that her eyesight cannot keep up.
Or it's just the way her eyesight is.
You cannot fix it i'm sorry. |

To get worse that quickly she is either using her short sight / long sight too much which is straining her eyes too much (tv or reading)
could it be that she isnt using her glasses at school which is gunna cause the rapid change in sight due to the extra strain
or the optician gave her the wrong precription of glasses

Bring her to a good ophthalmologist. There is a big difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist. The Ophthalmologist is the doctor, not the optometrist. |

No family history of eye problems? That's unusual...
Excess use of a computer or watching too much TV can lead in your eyes getting worse.
If your daughter wears glasses all the time, but her eye-sight isn't too bad, then she is merely making her eyes comfortable by wearing the glasses. When the eyes get comfortable they may get a bit lazy so stronger glasses are needed so less pressure is applied to the eye.
Sorry for the amature wording, I'm hardly an optician.
Hope this helps anyway. |

In the teen years, eye sight changes very quickly, so this is normal. |

You should take her to the doctor to inform you on any problems she might have on her eyes. Make sure your daughter is not looking on t.v or computer to close even with glasses on. Also not looking directly on the sun or lights. Try to keep an eye on her so she takes care of her eyes. |

Go to the very best opthamologist you can afford, ....free in the UK for 14yr olds. Ask for a hospital appointment immediately, this should be investigated now, just in case.
Chances are, its not too harmful, but its best to be sure. |

Tell the eye doctor and tell him about your daughter. It could be serious but I doubt that it is. Just get it checked out. |

Contact your local LYONs club. They are a charitable organization that deals with children's eye problems, glasses, and other visual ailments. Talk to them, their services are cost free. Vision is very important, don't pass up any opportunity for help. |

No idea what it could be, but I would err on the side of caution and get my GP to refer me to hosoital asap, no delay, just go for it, it could be very important for an expert to see her, good luck. |

this is a question for an ophthalmologist. you should spend some time researching it prior to the visit. Google things like rapid worsening of eyesight.. I think it might be called myopia (nearsightedness).
I doubt you will get the answers you need from yahoo answers. not too many doctors hanging out here... |

You don't have to have a family history of eye trouble to GET eye trouble. Take her back to the doctor and take this VERY seriously. Things like this don't just go away like a cold!!! |

i had like your daughter experience ..since upto 18-20 years old your daughter eyes maybe quickly/slowly so to worse. sometimes it could be quickly some times slowly but after 16 years old little goes to worse and in 20 years it will stop and after that you can surgery it with lysic surgery ,do not worry now it is time of growing and puberty |

First off BOTH the Ophthalmologist and the Optometrist are DOCTORS in the US. They are different kinds of DOCTORS, but DOCTORS none the less. Secondly, it is not unusual to have your vision change rapidly and drastically during puberty. I see it every day. Thirdly, carrots and vitamins will not help a refractive error. Most people do have refractive errors and they do usually amplify in the teen years. Not having any eye issues at all in a family is highly unlikely and does not sound quite right. If it were my daughter, I would seek a second opinion now, and not really wait for another 6 months. You can have her general health checked to rule out other health issues that can effect the visual health, such as thyroid and Diabetes and other things that her pediatrician would know what to look for. Do not rely on the general doctor to giv eyou the second opinion about her glasses and the progression of her RX, they are not trained in this area, but do have them check on her health. Just suggestion. |
