Vision deterioration.

I have a question regarding all those of you out there that have finally reached the airline position. Right now, I'm reaching towards the end phase of the ATPLs after which I will start to do the hour building. Ever since I have started the ATPLs, my vision did get worse due to studying a lot but luckily the Class 1 Medical renovation limits have been stretched which basically means I'm on the limits on a certain requirement.

Now my question is, for all of you who have reached the airline RHS, how have you coped with taking care of your eyesight? I mean, there is a lot of studying involved which means a lot of eye-stress. Do most pilots/co-pilots out there wear glasses?

I'm starting to get worried because, not even being 20, if I start to experience these problems now, I don't want to imagine how I will end up in the future....with respect to meeting viision requirements.

ANY advice, suggestion or solution is appreciated.

Thank you.
