improve my vision

well, due to lots of stuff going on since August, I’m behind on this – I stopped doing the exercises a while ago. But, I did manage to get to the optometrist, and just picked up my new glasses. These are a new prescription which is reduced from my previous one. I actually have two – I have glasses to wear for driving and either watching or playing sports, and then I have a pair to use with the computer, and around the house. the funny thing is I can actually see reasonably well with the weak ones. I wouldn’t drive with them right but I certainly can function. Looking forward to resuming my efforts.

The options are lasik, or learn to see again. Since surgery is invasive and permanent, and generally loathesome, I have decided to go it myself and relearn seeing behaviors. I am awaiting a program which is supposed to have exercises etc to complete, and I am doing some online research for it. I think it is entirely possible. As far as I understand it, the eye is deformed over time by muscular imbalances, and we turn to glasses rather than correcting the eye use. I am determined to give this a go and I took the big first step two days ago, by taking off my glasses at work. The comments I got were things like “Hey, I’ve never seen you without your glasses” to “did you get contacts” etc. So far, I’ve just somewhat defiantly said I just don’t want to use them anymore, they look perplexed, and move on. I still obviously must use them to drive but maybe someday that will be all I need them for.

Anyway, on my drive home tonight, 2 days of no glasses during the day, and no “real” work begun on this, it was the strangest thing. My prescrip is old, and I usually see the worst at dusk. Tonight I could see things I’ve never noticed and see farther than I definitely usually do. I can’t describe it but it’s enough to have me thinking this might work.

And I can’t see this well, but well enough to know what I’m typing. I don’t think there are any typos here. LOL!
