Hello , Can you please help me I have some sight problems

[Dantes]

I am 15 years old , male. No one in my family has ever had any problems with sight .
My sight problems are mild , just enough to be noticed , but for a while now I am having trouble seeing things I normally could , like a license plate on a car, it gets worse if there is light around. On an ophthalmology test I barely fail at the last row of letters . When they put drops in my eyes for a better analise , they saw +0.25 which is very close to normal, but it should indicate hipermetropia or far sighted-ness which is quite the opposite of my problems . The doctor said I should see fine and just said I was tired . But I quit watching tv or the computer and still the same problem ... I see very clearly with my friend's glasses with -0.50 and anti reflecting lens ... Any ideas /tips on what I should do would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

Dear anonymous, Glasgow,
I am a dutch opticain specialized in optical problems of our visual system. I'd like to help, but I need more information. If you are willing to give the info, please answer the next questions as specific as you can.
1. Do you wear spectacles ? If so, please mail all numbers/ values of the lenses !
2. What exactly is your eye sight ?(numbers)
3. Do you have headaches ? If so, describe the exact location !
4. You mentioned reading difficulties; since when do you have these ? What exactly happens when you are reading ?
5. Do you have difficulties to concentrate ?
6. Do your eyes feel tired after reading some time ?
7. Do you suffer of photofobia ( sensitive to sunlight )?
8. Who is your optician/optometrist/ophthlamo logist ?
Best regards,
H.K.

Dear Dantes,
Your problem could be strabisms; both eyes have problems to fixate at one point which may :
1. cause photofobia,
2. be caused by farsightedness (exists from about 4-6 meters).
3. the strength/values of the measured glasses doesn't/don't have to be that high to cause complaints; I've seen people who didn't need any spherical or cylindrical additions ?
In my opinion you may need prism glasses to cope with your problem.
If you have any questions left, do not hesitate to contact me.

If you're not able to conduct a telephone call please let your optician / optometrist / ophthalmologist contact me.
Best regards,
Hugo Krukkert.

You might have another problem; your complaints seem of strabological nature but that is hard to tell from a distance. So, I like to suggest you to contact your optician, optometrist orthoptist or ophthalmologist and give them this message. Because they know more about eyes, I can explain to them what to look for.
Best regards,
Hugo Krukkert.
