Day 20

I came back home from the 10 day sailing trip a few days ago. I've been doing eye exercises everyday. Whatever I could do without any charts. And never used my glasses. I noticed dots are great to practice focusing on. Much better than letters.
When I got home and checked the Snellen chart my eyesight was the same or possibly worse than as before the trip. So I got a bit discouraged. I still kept doing the exercises. I may have had some doubts whether it's possible to improve the eyesight. But after reading studies on eyesight, not the ones on if it can be trained back, but on what makes it decline, I've realized that it's possible to get back. For example, bad eyesight is very strongly linked to education, reading and watching monitors. So, if it's possible to affect the eyesight by doing certain things, it should be possible to affect it in other ways doing other things. right? I can't believe it's something we can make worse intentionally but not fix.
The last two days when I've been looking at the chart my eyesight has been considerably better. I'm about one line lower on the chart. I believe the bad results a few days ago was a combination of bad lighting because of very cloudy skies and tiredness after the trip where I slept too little the last nights. I'm now rested and the last days have been bright.
It seems my astigmatism is a little better now too. I will keep doing the exercises and get back to you in a few days.

Beginning of the journey

I've had bad eyesight since I was around 10 years old. However, it still took till I was 21 before I got my first pair of glasses. And since I felt uncomfortable in them I used contacts for may years. It's only the last year I've used glasses regularly. My eyes no longer like contacts, they make my eyelids dry out. I'm now 32 years old with myopia, -1.5 diopters on left eye and -1.75 on right eye as well as astigmatism on both eyes at slightly different angles. A few years ago I heard from a classmate that her dad had done vision training and his eyesight had improved a lot. Of course I got interested so I borrowed a book form the library called Improve your eyesight naturally by Leo Angart. I read it and followed the exercises for maybe two weeks but then lost interest. I had a lot of other things in my life right then that took my attention. I forgot about it for a few years until just a few days ago. I told myself I don't want to just accept that I have bad eye

Day three

It's my third day of eye exercises now. I've kept doing the exercises outlined by Angart. Specifically the Snellen chart exercise and the Tibetan wheel as well as acupressure point massage and palming. I've done better at the Snellen chart, it's been much easier to gain the temporary clear sight where I can see one or two rows lower on the chart. Still only temporary though. I don't notice much difference in my daily life. It's been such a long time since I went whole days without glasses so I almost forgot what it is like. Feels like my eyesight really have dropped the past year, so it's about time I do something about it. Today I noticed a very clear connection between relaxing the eyes and my eyesight. I saw much better on the Snellen chart after doing the Tibetan wheel exercise and palming. I've also noticed what a big difference the light does for seeing clearly. As soon as the sun is clouded my eyesight drops noticeably. I did lots of the Tibet
