  As long as you keep on doing eye palming everyday, you will get vision improvement sooner or later. Palming is a good exercise to relax your eyes. Doing eye palming can make your eyes healthy. Even if it cannot improve your vision, you can benefit more from it.

• Do over the counter reading glasses fit anyone?

  No. If people choose the over the counter reading glasses that don't fit them well, the glasses will hurt their eyes and make their eyes even worse. In my opinion, the best way is go to your optician to have the eyes checked and get the customized reading glasses.

• Does NHS pay for the cost of contact lenses?

  Yes. You are qualified for NHS, so NHS will pay for the cost of your contact lenses. But I am not sure how much would it pay for your lenses. You should consult your eye doctor and he will give you detailed information.

  When you choose the vision insurance plan, you should take your personal eye care needs into count. You'd better choose the vision plan that can provide most related and satisfying services and products to you.

• Can nearsighted people wear pinhole glasses?

  Most nearsighted people prefer to wear pinhole glasses because there is no eye exam, no prescription needed. You Just put them on and see clearly. But they can only improve your vision for a short time and can't be the replacement for prescription glasses. So you need to get your glasses as soon as possible.

• My vision is blurry after focusing close up?

  Focusing on something close for a long time will make your eye muscles contract. If you look at distance, your eye muscles need time to relax. So you will get blurry vision for a short time. Reading very close will make this problem more noticeable, so you'd better read further away at a sensible distance.

• Can people with small eyes wear contact lenses?

  I have small eyes,too. The optometrist prescrible the contacts that fit me fine. And he ask me to have a lot of patience when I put my contact lenses in and take them out. Now I can put in my contacts easily. So don't worry, you will get used to them very quickly.
