Being very nearsighted means many activities involve struggle. Trying to see, when seeing is difficult, starts a whole cascade of things, all of which add to stress. Here’s what I mean and how contacts can help in the constant battle to deal with fuzzy vision.
Reading of any kind with less than perfect sight often results in squinting of eyes. Squinting often means the face muscles contort to move into the squinting position. That produces muscle strain throughout the whole face. That’s a real energy drain.
Squinting to see also usually involves what appears to be frowning. It really isn’t frowning, it just looks like it, as the face again contorts to try to put the eyes in a better position to see. It really doesn’t improve the vision, but frowning often goes along with the attempt to see.
Then there are the posture problems of poor vision. What happens is the face juts forward in a further vain attempt to get just a little closer to the object in view. It is a vain attempt but a common one nonetheless. That jutting out posture of the head characteristic of nearsighted folks causes the neck to try to support a heavy head hung out in front of the neck.
That posture works poorly and causes neck strain and often chronic neck problems of several kinds.
Also the strain to see often produces shoulders that hunch forward pulling at the back and causing chronic back pain also. That also restricts the room in the chest resulting in shallow breathing and the attendant limitations with that.
Being nearsighted causes stress at every hand and poor vision also gets more complicated with age. Natural changes with age make close vision even more difficult and the differences result in some kind of bifocal correction with resulting complications.
Contacts help with all this somewhat because the contacts remove the mechanical problems associated with heavy glasses resting on one’s nose. The contacts, because of the much shorter focal length, distort the size of objects viewed much less than glasses do too.
Contacts help severe nearsighted problems largely because of allowing a more natural view of things and eliminating some of the distortions that accompany thick glasses. Better vision then results in less strain and less energy lost in the constant fight to make out fuzzy objects.
