And today, July 4th 2013, I am totally CURED form myopia. No more blurry vision. My vision is 20/20 crystal sharp and clear! Its amazing.
So I will list here what I have done from May 2008 and what i think about vision improvement here.
_Basic info: I was myopic. About -2.5 to -2.75 Diop, both eyes. Wearing glasses from 15 year old to 24 year old ( in 2008). So it was about 9 year wearing galsses. Test with snell chart showed that my vision was about 20/200.
* 5/2008 => 11/2008
+ Take off glasses complely
+ Practice Long Swinging many times everyday, a few hundreds swing each time.
+ I am a programmer, work on computer a lot so I wanted to use the computer to help me to improve my vision. So I decided to put the computer screen 5 centimeters further a way from me every week. At first the screen was 30 centimeters away. And up to 11/2008, I can put it 80 to 100 centimeters away and work easily. It was a huge improvement.
+ working on the snellen chart a few time a day.
The result:
+ at first I experienced terrible headaches. But they went a way after 1 or 2 weeks when I got used to see without glasses.
+ my vision improved up to 20/40.
At that time, i was very satisfied with the result. I could live without glasses. Could work, play sport⦠effectively without glassed. You know, went form 20/200 to 20/40 was a huge improvement. ( but compare to my 20/20 vision today, 20/40 is nothing lol )
+ most effective exercise in this period for me was just working on computer (8 hour every day) with the screen put further away every week. Long swing helped too.
* 11/2008 to 1/2013:
didnât practice as often as before. Got married, got 2 kids, life got much more busy. When I got busy with other things I didnât spend enough time to practice long swing or wok on snellen chart any more. Any my main strategy:â putting the computer screen further every weekâ hit it maximum potential since I can not put the screen more than 1 meter away ( have you ever seen someone that sit 1.5 to 2 meter away from the computer screen at work? lol)
– But sometime when I was not so busy and had more free time, I spent a few minutes to work on the snellen chart and do the long swing as well. And although I know that I didnât spend enough time to practice, my vision still improved during this period. I know that because when I drove, I could see things that I usually couldnât see well before. That means my vision was improved.
* 1/2013 to Jun 15 2013 (a bout 2 weeks ago)
This period, I was not busy with work. Kids also growed and I didnât have to spend much time to take care of them. My wife quit her job to stay home, take care of the kids and do all the house work. So this period I have free time again. And I decided to continue my journey to 20/20 vision.
Practice:
+ Long swing many times a day.
+ working on snellen chart many times a day.
Result:
Great! My vision improved significantly. Got clear vision many many times during the day. But these clear flashes were not stable. They usually went away after a link. Then came back quickly after another blink. I got so many clear 20/20 flashes, but I just counldnât keep them permanently.
Something was missing! And I was confused!
One day, I read a part of Davidâs method a bout center vision

goto the part a bout âCLAIM YOUR CENTER OF VISIONâ
I notice that I donât have good enough habit of central fixation. The idea is look at smaller spot at a time on any larger object you’re looking at. The smaller the better.
And then I read somewhere that Dr Bate said that reading fine print all so help to improve vision. Bingo. I think I found what I was looking for
I immediately change the font of my webbrowser to the smallest that I can, zoom out of the webpage to the point text on the browser is so tinny but still sharp and black, and readable. Then I just sit normally ( about 1 meter from the screen) and read the webpage.
After 5 minutes I looked out of the window and everhing was bright, shard and 20/20 clear.
Now I know I found my powerful exercise. Since I am a programmer, work 8 hours a day on the computer, that mean with this newly discovered exercise, I am back to practicing fulltime a gain.
And since 2 weeks ago, I just worked on computer, reading webpage with tiny font many hours a day, and my vision improved every day.
And today, when I am outside, walking down the street with stable 20/20 vision, seeing people, houses, cars, tree, street signs clearly and easily, I feel like a happy child! That is the vision that I once had when I was a child and now I regain it after a long 5 years journey. But it is definitely worth it!!!
So that is my story. I think if I had more free time, know what to do and practice every day I can be cured sooner. But that is life, we have so much things to worry about beside improve our vision. And 4 out of 5 years I didnât try hard to practice at all lol.
Hope everyone will get good result like me!
