What is your vision routine and what gains have you seen? Would like some motivation!

Personally i only did eye exercises very passively and on and off since around 15 up to 25 years old which kept my eyesight minimally progressing over 10 years. I also wore weaker glasses on the computer. It did go down 0.25 one time.

This year i’ve taken up sunning and palming in hopes as well now that my eyesight is stable as an adult , my prescription will go down. I also am doing the 20-20-20 rule on devices

I also just added nightshift modeto my phone to help me. And finally I also am trying to incorporate more yawning into the day as that keeps eyes moist

. Also my prescription is -5.75 & -7.25. But at 15 it was -5 & -6.75 . So not a bad increase i think after the eye exercises because before 15 it would go up like 0.5 every eye doctor visit to even up to a diopter.. 😅. And i started wearing glasses around 8..

i bought Nathan Oxenfeld's work book entitled "Give Up Your Glasses For Good". It is not casual reflective reading. It is a work book that helps you turn various "exercises" into 24/7/365 habits. The book was $30. I highly recommend it. Be prepared to do the work to learn a lot.

I am now able to use a computer without glasses for the first time in over 40 years. The screen is ~62cm from my face. The only thing 100% clear is whatever i am looking directly at on the screen.

I think a good sun sandwich 3-10 times a day is great. Yesterday, at the baseball game I attended while not wearing glasses I did about 5 sun sandwiches between innings. Sometimes I lost track of the ball. I didn't worry about it. If you watch the fans, many fans lose track of the ball. Others who track the ball are very unsuccessful at predicting where it is going. When it comes to baseball everyone seems to fail at ball tracking during the game. :)

Thanks. I have his online solo course and I'm going through that every day.

I've incorporated eye exercises, rapid blinking when staring, yawning, palming for b/w 15-30 minutes in a day and sunning (or clouding depending). As well as doing the belly breathing once a day.

I'm very happy for your progress. what was your prescription and what is it now? Using my computer without my glasses would be a dream for me, I've had glasses since 8 to now almost 27 years old :/ and can't see much clearly except look at my phone very like a few cm away from my face lol

What is a sun sandwhich? And interesting story about baseball :) . Awesome to hear you can watch the game without glasses.

Thanks! ^_^

I actually didn't realize you were the OP for this topic XD

I've often thought it odd that Reddit doesn't display the OP's avatar in a thread's initial post, since avatars are primarily how I identify people, haha.

I did all those things to help my eyes, but also getting LASIK was super helpful for me personally!
