In reply to Darrel. Darrel, I agree. I'm grateful for my eyesight every day, even when it's blurry.

In reply to Teresa Arnold. Sight itself is miraculous. No-one can explain it. The things we take for granted...

Especially would love to make your last sentences into a quote that can be passed on.

Your eyes were made to see miracles every day — don’t let your distraction or worry prevent them from doing that. Life is a visual banquet. Eat up!

In reply to Roman. Hi Roman, and thanks so much for your comment. Yes, even though everyone's vision condition is unique like we all are as people, there are commonalities, and the way I look at things :) may help you too. Keep up the good work!

Hi Nancy,

Just thought that I’d leave a quick note that ever since I stumbled across this blog I’ve read and reread many of your posts – I find them very enlightening and reassuring, since much of what you recount parallels my own experiences, sometimes throwing a slightly different light on them 🙂 So – thanks for sharing all this!

In reply to Evelyn Begay.

Evelyn, hi, and good for you for wanting to improve your vision to a healthier state. First, I am not an eye doctor and can’t legally prescribe glasses for anyone. If your reduced prescription glasses strain your eyes, yes, they’re not helping you. Wear only glasses you can see through comfortably, and take them off and see with your unaided vision whenever you can and it’s safe.

Here’s something I wrote a while back about floaters, which may help: https://www.iblindness.org/1503/how-do-i-get-rid-of-my-floaters/.

Hi Nancy,
I am -7.25 in my right, -5.25 in my left. My axes are -135 and -165. I’ve making a conscious effort to relax by eyes through various activities. Would you give the shirt and long of nearsighted folks who through the Bates’s method see improvements?

I ordered my training glasses, but I had trouble seeing properly due to the strain my eyes. So, I ordered another pair in the hope that the newest will make eyes strain less.

Question two: I have a floater in my left. How have others with floaters managed to lessen or eliminate them?

My thanks.

Darrel, yes. I agree with both of your points. Eyestrain can creep up on us so subtly we don’t often notice it until it’s severe. A lot of vision improvement is about awareness — how do your eyes and visual system feel now? And now? OK isn’t really good enough. Wouldn’t we all like seeing to feel wonderful? 🙂

Nancy, it was interesting to read about you not noticing things in your peripheral vision this has happened to me too. I think it is very common for people who wear glasses and contacts to get used to look straight through the centre of these devices, and even after some of us take them off to improve our vision, these bad habits may persist for some time.

Also I think that for many people who are straining to see through glasses and contacts it actually hurts them to force their eyes to look at what’s going on in the peripheral field of view and so they don’t do it.

Thanks

Darrel
