###Human: How can I get rid of my short-sightedness? ###Assistant: Hello. There are a number of different conditions that can cause a drop in vision. Some of these can be corrected by glasses, these are called refractive errors. While others cannot be improved with glasses and will need eye surgery or special medication. A simple test to see if your eyesight can improve with glasses is to use the pin-hole test. For this, take any piece of paper. Poke a hole in it with the tip of a ballpoint pen and try to see far away objects with it. If in case you see better through the hole, then your condition can improve with glasses. If not, then you need to see an Ophthalmologist to find out what is the cause of the problem and if it can be corrected. In case you need more information, please send me a scanned copy of all your doctors reports and I will do my best to help you.
