Not smoking, exercising and eating a healthy diet high in antioxidants are all ways to take care of your eyes by taking care of your body. […] In extreme cases of farsightedness, glasses may be needed to prevent accommodative esotropia, a crossing of the eyes. As the eye works to accommodate for farsightedness, the eyes may become crossed. Wearing glasses can straighten out the eyes and prevent them from crossing. Another problem that can develop from extreme farsightedness is amblyopia. This is the most common cause of vision problems in children. Amblyopia is a lazy eye. It is caused by the brain ignoring signals from an eye producing blurred images, which makes the ignored eye weaker over time as it is not being used by the brain. Corrective treatment can include wearing glasses or wearing a patch over the normal eye to strengthen the weakened one.
