Measured it and my vision is .25 better in each eye. Apparently you can just improve your vision.RT: https://poa.st/objects/ae2ae67f-c171-4944-8666-7622f28617a7

@billiam I've been doing basic pencil pushups with each eye, as well as moving my eyes around back and forth to the limits of their movement side to side and up and down in circles around the perimeter of my vision I'm going to incorporate active focus exercises (getting something to be almost in focus but blurry then blinking to try and bring it into focus). I've also been trying to get some sun in my eyes every day and looking at things that are far away.

@Ghislaine @billiam I was just thinking about this post, I'm gonna try some of them. Working on a computer all day does a lot of damage.

@JedKron1248 @billiam https://endmyopia.org/myopia-calculator-2/Check out what your diopter level is in each eye separately and see if you can make measurable progress. Diopter is just 1/(how far you can see without blur in meters). The endmyopia website recommends wearing glasses which are underpowered by like .5 diopters and trying to use active focus to train your eyes to adapt steadily. I might get some new glasses myself.

@Ghislaine My dad told me how in WW2 the Polish volunteers in the RAF would stare at trees from miles away trying to focus on individual leaves and branches and their vision was crazy good because of it

@MisterLister @Ghislaine The Polish airmen were a special kind of crazy. Run out of ammo? Just use your propeller to chop off their tail.

@Ghislaine Read this:No BS Guide to Improving Your Visionby C.G. Hayeshttps://www.losetheglasses.org/cliffgnu-vision.pdf(several other locations as well)About 20 page pdf. Just buy a new pair of spectacles about every 6 months to a year, about .25 diopter weaker (or stronger) each time.Use the newest pair as your computer and reading glasses and the previous ones as your driving glasses (if short-sighted like me).I have been following this for about 8 years and have improved about 3 diopters in that time.Zenni Optical sells cheap spectacles by internet orders - like <$200 for bifocals.

@eggplant_3 wow that's awesome. I was 2.75/2.5 and now I'm at 2.5/2.25. A bit more progress and I won't need to squint to see my computer screen without glasses lol

@eggplant_3 @Ghislaine Zenni is great, if my optometrist is ordering $6 lenses from China anyway I might as well cut out the middle man.

@sapphire @Ghislaine Actually there is a political angle to this. Here in Ontario, Canada the optometrists got a ruling saying that only they can specify eyeglasses prescriptions because glasses are a medical appliance. That means that what I am doing is probably technically legally naughty here.However, I too do not like spending $800 on glasses.

@eggplant_3 @Ghislaine yeah that’s fine, my insurance covers the prescription and the exam idc about that. I just then take their prescribed numbers and put them into a web store that ships me glasses they claim match those numbersNo different than ordering a set of crutches yourself

@Ghislaine Your eyesight is pretty good already, it is more of an annoyance rather than immobilizing like mine was. I think you are already at the point where severely diminishing returns kicks in with this.With me it is like exercise - going from zero to **some exercise** gives more noticable improvement than going from quite strong to even stronger.

@Ghislaine Dr Mercola has talked about these exercises for years. I did for some time around 2020, saw improvement, but got tired of doing it tbh
