improve my eyesight

Investigated a number of options for improving eye sight. There were a number of alternatives to eye surgery, but none of them appealed to me. Found and e-book about eye exercises on the web, will give that a go.

This is not going to work.

I am following the persistenceunlimited blog series on improving eyesight with eye exercises.

March 2007 I had cataract surgery and Array lens put in. I went into the ophthalmologist to have my eyes checked. I had Lasik surgery about eight years ago, but noticed a strange blurring in my peripheral vision, which turned out to be the very beginnings of cataracts. All that bright sun growing up on an island and then living in the tropics is probably the culprit. But now I see great and only use 1x to 1.5X reading glasses upon ocassion.

My frustration with my vision and wearing glasses finally exceeded my fears about the surgery. I’d been thinking about the surgery for several years while I half-assedly practiced Bates exercises, but never knew whether or not I was a good candidate. I knew it wasn’t for everybody, so I wanted to go to somebody who was reputable and conservative, and wouldn’t do it for someone who wasn’t a good candidate.
I found Dr. Parikh at Advanced Opthalmology Institute in La Jolla. He is the official team opthalmologist and Lasik specialist for the San Diego Chargers, so I figured if these multi-million-dollar-per-year professional athletes could trust this guy with their eyes, I could too. Everyone in the office was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and professional. I had a good feeling from the get-go, and to make a long story longer, I was deemed a good candidate and had the surgery last Friday!
So far, so good on the recovery. My vision in my right eye is just as clear as it was with glasses, and my left eye is still a little blurry, but will continue to heal and will be just as good. The surgery was just three days ago, so I have every confidence that further healing will yield great results. I’m thrilled!

I’ve started doing two excercises that will work my eye muscles, so I’ll tell you how my eyes feel in a bit. ;3

After getting little to no progress with eye exercises, I’ve reverted back to wearing my contacts again. My devotion to the time consuming practices and strict guidelines is lacking. Thus, I’ve given up the retinal workout approach and plan to hit up Ortho-K (braces for the eyes) in the fall. You might hear from me later on the efficacy of that treatment.

pah,how could i improve my sight in 4 days…hav to choose”give up”

still keep trying

i finished reading the book. “better eyesight without glasses” and i am going to buy an eye chart and start the exercises really soon.

Unfortunately, this blog is making my vision worse because I’m staring at the computer.
