Like, anyone have any accounts of those who tend to be near or far sighted, born that way, or not occuring till later?

Are they near or far sighted?

Anyone know where this could go?

difficult aspects... what sign/house is neptune in? where is pisces in your chart? any planets within?

i'd assume that virgo would contribute to eye problems as well, being associated with health.. they say virgo is detail oriented, but could it go to extreme? maybe a person being unable to see at a distance, or having blurred vision when trying to see too much at once? just a thought

Like if you have any type of Pisces/12th House/Neptune theme in your chart, if afflicted, meaning hard aspects, can turn one quite introspective.

I'm blind as a bat. I have astigmatism and I'm really short-sighted... My eye sight was fine until my mid teens and then it just suddenly went awry. Pisces rules my 6th house, there are no planets there... Virgo rules my 12th house, I have Saturn in Virgo... square Venus and Chiron and square my 3rd house Neptune... Actually... looking at my chart more closely... Pisces doesn't rule any house. Capricorn is on the cusp on my 4th and 5th house and on my 6th house cusp is Aquarius... Pisces ends before my Aries 7th house cusp... Maybe this lack of Piscean influence makes me a blind beach? lol... you know what I meant.

to go with the things said in here...I'm very very near-sighted. I don't have anything in Pisces, and it covers an empty 11th house in my chart.

My Neptune is in 8th (in Sag), and is squared by my Sun (Virgo) so it's a rather important planet in there.

I have a Virgo Sun, (w/ that square to nep), and my Venus which is very very important to my planet is in Virgo as well. It has 3 squares to it, and is the ruler of my ascendant and moon as well. (Virgo is on my 5th house cusp).

I'm also wicked introspective.

I am nearsighted but it did not hit until 19- everyone in my family had bad sight except for me as a child. My brother had to wear glasses as a kid and i remember being jealous- ahhh, the logic of a child. and his sun is in pisces.

Don't know if a pisces thing but my moon is in pisces in the 6th house. I do have 3 planets in the 12th though ( Mercury, Uranus and pluto) . I do have a few hard aspects to my moon so maybe... i am definitely introspective.

I'm a terribly nearsighted Pisces.

My mom, also a Pisces, wears glasses to see far as well.

Dad's a Leo, perfect vision.
Sisters are Aries and Aquarius, perfect vision!

Go figure!

I used to be pretty badly nearsighted - had 20/100-or-so vision. But I did lots of eye-excercises, and have been steadily improving my eyes for about five years. Would have been faster, prolly, if I had given up books and video games, but I was lazy. Now I'm at 20/30, and I don't even need glasses to drive.

The trick is to never wear glasses, ever. No matter how bad your vision is. Glasses make your eyes lazy, and stop them from getting daily excercise that keeps 'em strong.


I wonder if I have an afflicted Pisces thingy going on... I'm a sun Pisces with a Pisces ascendant, but I don't really know where everything else is right off hand. Hmmm. Who knew that caused eye problems? Makes sense though, since neither my brother or my sister ever had eye troubles. You learn something new every day!

That's interesting, Johnny. What sort of eye exercises did you do?

Another thought: Could poor vision have anything to do with not liking what you see? Just a thought...

that's similar to the point i was trying to make last night regarding virgo and eyes... being too focused and unable to see the big picture, literally.

I am sorry to say but my vision is 20/20 meaning I have perfect eyesight- maybe to see the truth as it is! Just a thought.

That's true about taking care of your eyes naturally. But when the cochlear finally gives out, it's either surgery or glasses.

I'm very near-sighted, and have been since about 10 years old. The only place Pisces shows up in my chart is in my 11th house.

Johnny, that's interesting to hear about not wearing glasses. Unfortunately, after 15 years with them, going without my glasses gives me severe migranes.

Not to be obnoxious, but all the eye exercises in the world aren't going to make an overlong eyeball (nearsighted) or a too-short (farsighted) eyeball the proper length. Going without glasses isn't going to make my eyes stronger, they are strong enough. They are just too long, which means the projection of the image on the retina is blurry.

Think of it as a movie screen. In the case of nearsightedness, the movie screen is too far away from the projector, making the picture blurry and unfocused. In the case of shortsightedness, it would be as if the movie screen were too close to the projector.

Other problems, such as lazy eye, can be healed by specific excercises, though!

Nackie, I beg to differ!

Weak muscles around the eye are precisely what allow the eye to become mishappen! Do you think that human being just naturally have poor eyesight? It's just our poor habits, like watching tv, reading, and living in houses that restrict distance vision that are causing us to need glasses. Otherwise, barring eye dis-eases and the like, we would all have great vision! Eye excercises can change the shape of the eye.

i think youre both right, nackie and johny, cos genetic make-up would explain why very young children, who havent had time to develop bad habits, have bad eyes.

but, it makes sense that because the eye is a muscle and a living thing, just like the rest of our body, it can be altered by exercise

And my left leg is 1 cm shorter because I stand on it too much?

Girls are more likely to inherit bad eyesight than boys...girls just have weaker muscles?

It IS a genetic predisposition to being short or nearsighted. I'm sure that other eye conditions (of otherwise healthy eyes) can be attributed to weak muscles. But I don't think my +7.5 dioptrines are just going to go away by not wearing my glasses/lenses. I would not be able to do anything--no reading, no cooking, no working. In the morning when I put my glasses on, if I have knocked them off the table during the night I am unable to find them (pat-and-grab method).

And if wearing glasses weakens your eyes, why does my prescription stay the same, I've been wearing glasses over 20 years with only minimal worsening (age! agh!).

My mother, who always had perfect vision, does no computer work, watches barely any tv (reads the newspaper daily though) has just had to get her first pair of glasses. Why would her sight be weakening then?

I inherited my dad's nearsightedness, although he's only +2.0. My 3 other siblings all have perfect vision. How could that be? Only I have weak muscles?

I guess I just don't quite understand how weak muscles supposedly misshape the eyeball...

It's ugly if you are ick'ed out by thinking about what your eye REALLY looks like. It's not pretty.
