Yes. The take-aways for me were not to keep pushing as you say, and especially not to twist my body into some kind of unnatural posture trying to accomplish the old movement, to let myself heal first. Haste makes waste! All kinds of parallels to vision improvement.

Rest just doesn’t seem to do it for me. I try to keep working out, warming up for longer, find other exercises that don’t directly work the injured area,
and do everything except that which really seems to make the injury angry, to keep the blood flowing and align with the M.E.A.T. protocol that trainers use nowadays for injuries.

I guess in terms of vision it means not pushing through eyestrain, like you say, and doing something else instead. Heck, even palming I see as not a total rest but a shift in using vision a little differently, with visualization, instead of whatever task was leading to eyestrain, to keep it working and actually help it do the problem task more easily even though that isn’t what’s being directly addressed.
