Whether you can get your eyesight back to normal depends on the underlying cause of your vision problems.
- Refractive errors: These are common vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. These can usually be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. In these cases, your vision can be corrected to "normal."
- Eye diseases: Conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can cause vision loss. These conditions may require treatment to prevent further vision loss, but it's not always possible to restore vision to its original state.
- Eye injuries: Injuries can also lead to vision loss. The severity of the injury determines the potential for vision recovery. Some injuries can be corrected with surgery or other treatments, while others may result in permanent vision loss.
It's important to see an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam to determine the cause of your vision problems. The doctor can then advise you on the best course of treatment and whether it's possible to improve your vision.
