At one point I’d given up thinking it wasn’t going to get any better. I do believe practise is key. Challenging oneself is key to expanding vision ability. It’s not going to just happen. Sure by pure relaxation yes. Personally my plateau broke when I decided I wasn’t going to accept being so close to see everything. I decided to act normal. Sit normally, relaxed and then my miracle happened. I really recommend getting used to looking at bigger distances even if that means increasing type on your comp. when you get used to that, reduce the print. The secret is go gradually. One thing that slowed or stunted my progress was to be of the mindset of , well I can’t see it so I must go closer. That doesn’t work because there is no chance of practising or improving vision at a further distance.

Thanks for the insight man, I probably had my plateau for a little over an year now, I did sometimes think that I had already reached the end of the road, but being stubborn, well…

So, basically it is to act normal? Like a normal person with normal sight? I recently have tried that, keeping my posture straight and my head held high. I haven’t seen any improvement, but sure feels better

I hate how opticians always tell you the thing that harms you the most. My highest prescription was -4 D in both eyes, no astigmatism or anything else. I think compared to others, it shouldn’t be that hard to work with.

2 weeks ago, I went the the “eye doctor” to get a checkup, which I haven’t done since 2 years ago. The result? I am now apparently -3.25. Like you, it felt VERY over corrected. I had a little fight with her and managed to convince her to bring it down to -2.75. She kept telling me how “there is no cure for myopia” and how she has a little program for people with rare focusing problems, but not for myopia.

Practically anything she couldn’t sell she wouldn’t tell me about it. My parents were there, and she told them that I have seemed to “stabilize” a bit because now I went from -4 to -3.25, but that I won’t fully stabilize until age 25.

She was pretty much full of BS. She demanded like 5 times I ALWAYS wear my glasses, and to get used to them for even reading. I was flat out offended by her stupidity, how can she not see that she has contradicted herself? Restricting use of eye glasses and I go down from -4 to -3, but then she says “No, that is bad for your eyes, you must have them on ALL the time”. Umm, look here you evil dumbo, how do you think I got to -4 D in the first place?

She even went as far as to say that glasses are the “only cure for myopia”. BS!

At least ill have under corrected and ill try and work with that

Cheers
