I've been shortsighted since I was 6, and it's gotten significantly worse over the years, although the degree to which it has has lessened as I've gotten older (apparently because I've stopped growing). I wish my eyes could improve, but I doubt it's ever going to happen!

if you've got a spare $5000 (or can pay off an interest free loan) I highly recommend checking out laser eye surgery. Best thing EVER.

Short-sightedness almost always improves, and long-sightedness gets worse.

Actually... when I asked my optometrist whether my eyesight would get better or worse, she said it would most likely get worse... I have myopia (short-sightedness) that onset during VCE... no doubt due to the countless hours I spent reading, writing and using the computer.


Edit: Just before anyone who knows me in RL gets in first... no, I don't wear my glasses often... usually only in lectures and when driving.

I like my new glasses =D

But an improvement in eyesight would be brilliant.

I hate contacts, just starting to wear them. They hurt my eyes :(

Theres no way it would possibly get better...unless you somehow unstretched your eye balls, infact it gets worse untill your about 20 because your eyes are still growing
