I am interested as over 5 years cannot grasp wearing glasses even half the day for certain tasks and my face cold the minute I put them on all the time..

Mine are 5.3😭

Same, I never liked how I looked in glasses. At one point I thought I looked good in them, after a family member commented that I’d look like Clark Kent if I used them LOL. Needless to say, the comment’s motivation on me didn’t last long.

Recently, I’ve been wondering on what my life is going to be, or what career choice I’d be going into. Not to say that I’ve made my choice yet, but what if I were to say, join the military? I’m aware that they have regulations on eye sight, in which the use of contacts would be preferred by me. However, they specify that if you have some vision deformity (nearsightedness, farsightedness, etc), your only option would be using glasses. It sounds hella stupid, I know, especially for someone who’s thinking about being part of a serious commitment. After doing some research online, and seeing some people’s reactions here, I’m assuming that wearing glasses over long periods of time would actually make your vision worse than make it better. I thought glasses were like a pause button on your decreasing vision, but I’d like an actual fix on my eyes, and there’s no way I’m doing laser surgery, due to all the medical side effects that could come with it, to the point in which your vision could actually worsen to the point of being completely blind.

I stumbled upon the Bates Method, in which Google and Wikipedia have described it as “an ineffective and potentially dangerous alternative therapy aimed at improving eyesight”. I spent a lot of today reading a ton about the Bates Method, tried it on myself, and I can’t say I did feel something, but I also can’t say that I didn’t. So, why am I writing all of this? I was hoping you, Mr. David, could give me the answer(s) to my undying question(s), that I’m sure everyone here has had.

• Does this really work?

• Were you yourself a patient to have experienced this?

• Did your vision improve significantly? (Eye chart measurement?)

• How long did it take you?

Please, I need help, I’m trapped between this method and science, (since many have claimed these methods as a hoax). I’d appreciate if you wrote back.

And disclaimer to all those who are looking at this post now or sometime in the future, no I am not a bot or an alt account of David’s, and no this is not him writing this to make his website/forum stand out. I am a legitimate person, just like all these other people who so happen to have the same interests.

Thanks again,
Mr. Relatable ;(*

*Hopefully my ;( will turn into a 🙂 some day.

I also had that. My friends never wore them until they got glasses and needed them more often. I had it too. I wish I never wore them all the time because my vision is worse. I would say wear them only when you have to and don’t when you are fine because babe I wish I did that it will help you I promise. (it won’t harm your eyes if you only need them when you can’t see)

Thanks for your suggestions 😊💗💞

wear it or your power will increase more drastically.i have expreienced it listen to your doctor

Thanks a lot for your suggestions 😊

That’s great Ginny, thanks for sharing! This type of thing does happen. That optometrist probably still wrote this one off as a mistake on your previous prescription, and in his mind there’s still no such thing as what happened with you.

I’m sure you’re right, and even better without contacts on!
