Can eye sight get better?

I went and made an eye – test today.
I wanted to get some decent sun glasses with prescription.

Found some nice ones, not too expensive. Now, in a real glasses shop, you should think, all are good and good against the sun light, no? No.

But let me start at the beginning.

Got there, went with that nice Asian Doctor to the machine, she scanned (?) my eyes and did the manual test. She was very surprised that I’m using glasses at all. For work at the Computer, yeah, but outside, no.
And a stigmata (I still can’t get used to that word), she couldn’t really see a Stigmata.
My eye sight was never really BAD, but a) I had a Stigmata in my left eye and the sight was somewhere around 0,75 (I can never remember that).
I can also NOT wear soft lenses because of that Stigmata, had to have hard ones.

Now she tells me, that for Sunglasses I don’t need a prescription, just VERY good and Polarized sunglasses. And soft lenses would do, if I WANT them. Hard ones are not available for that low of a prescription, only in color (huh???)

Now, they tried really hard to convince me that they are right, but I had some trouble to believe it.
I asked them , if it’s possible for eyes to get better and for a Stigmata to disappear, but the only answer I could get was “Maybe you are more relaxed”. Well, I didn’t work in the last 5 years and I had half a year REAL vacation last year, my eyeside was still worse than two years ago when I checked in Germany the last time.

“But we are professionals”, the nice guy says, “We are the biggest Company in Kuwait”

Yeah, and the girl that did my test in Germany is a Master Optician.

I still am weirded out a bit….. any clues out there?

    Hmm, I suggest you go to the doctor at Dar Al Shifa Hawally. He is amazing! & I would not go to those shops to get an acuurate test… I wear lences, not colored & I hate it :/

    I don’t particularly care for lenses either, but sometimes I’m just tired of glasses and if I could get them pretty cheap, fine with me.

    Do you have an address for that Doc? Is it a clinic?

    I haven’t been under eye test in Kuwait yet so couldn’t suggest much. This is Dar Al-Shifa website;

    Oh, cool – thanks!!

    I think, for now, I’ll just stick with the glasses and sunglasses I have, but we might stay another year, so it’s good to know where to go :)

    It’s great to finally have some people here that I can ask about these things – thanks to Flugtag :D !!

    Did you say stigmata ?

    Now stigmata doesnt come out of blue. Something must have happened, internal bleeding or some rough scratch.

    I suggest you better visit an ophthalmologist (eye specialist)
    and then take the Rx to a authorized spectacle shop and get your order done.

    I have that Stigmata since ever, I guess.

    That’s what I tried to tell that Lady, but oh well……

    I will stick with normal sunglasses (without prescription for now) and with the glasses I have, they are less than a year old.

    But if I need new ones (some time nest year) I sure as heck will go to a real Doctor, like the one suggested by Chika :)

    Thanks for your comment and help!

    Well, I tell you what to do: COME HOME :-P

    But ja, eyes could get better. My mom doesn’t even need glasses anymore… It just happened. I guess Kurzsicht und Weitsicht haben sich mit der Zeit ausgeglichen oder sowas in der Art…

    Dasisja’n Ding :D

    Naja, ich meine, der erste Test war via Computer und die Staerke war ja auch ok als ich die Testbrille aufhatte. Waeren die einfach bei dem geblieben, was ich wollte, haetten sie was verkauft und zwei Kunden gehabt, statt einem (Menne und mich) und nun haben sie keinen mehr ;)

    Yes your eyesight will get better when you’re older than 60. Before that, just wear a contact lenses or have lasik treatment.
