This video is relatively popular, and I want to try this out for myself. I do have some questions though:
- Are these safe? Will they strain my eyes?
- Does it even work?
- If it does work, how many times must I do it a day?
Does this really help?
HELPSo i should only blink 4 to 5 times? Also, do these "eyesight improvement exercises" work?
Just blink normally. And yes exercises work for many people, they've helped me reduce my myopia from -5.25 to -3.50, eliminate astigmatism in both eyes, and reduced presbyopia to the point I no longer need bifocals.
As your eyesight improves you also need to reduce the strength of your glasses or they will hold you back.
Also mind if we can chat about some tips for me?
So many people say it doesnt work!
Yeah, people who haven't done it.
Ok, say i do this exercise every night, about 3 times per night. How long does it take to bring down my eyesight, even the tiniest bit?
That's a very individual thing so I'll emphasize again the importance of measuring and tracking your own progress.
I started on May 1st 2023
By May 9th my eyesight improved by 0.50D confirmed by my optometrist.
By the end of May my blur distance had increased from 21cm to 26cm.
At the end of June I reduced my distance glasses from -4.75 to -4.00.
At the end of October I reduced to -3.50 and two weeks after that my blur distance matched my Snellen at 28.5cm.
By the end of February 2024 I was back up to -4.00.
And now I'm back down to -3.75. My blur distance is lagging behind my Snellen at 24cm.
Excessive blinking and the last 2 exercises should be avoided.
The eye movement exercises are fine as long as they are done gently. The focus shifting and swinging are classic eyesight improvement exercises.
