Improving My Eyesight

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The Vision For Life Program has specific exercise routines based on your eye defects. For my condition - astigmatism and nearsightedness, the routine is divided into Days 1 - 6, Days 7 - 12, Days 13 - 18, Days 19 - 24, Days 25 - 30 and then Days 31 to beyond. As the days advance, the exercises require a little more effort.
When I started doing the eye exercises, I decided that I wouldn’t move on to a next set of days unless I fully understood the exercises from the previous set and did them regularly.
Last week I was quite diligent in doing the exercises. So today I moved on to the exercises in the Days 7 - 12 set.

These exercises were a bit more difficult to get done… but I managed ok.
I will continue tomorrow….

I am happy to say that I have been doing the eye exercises regularly. I have seen a bit of improvement. I am able to see the letters on the eye chart (included in the Vision For Life Kit) a little clearer from the same distance as when I started. Also, I am able to focus on distant object much better (See my last post)
With this new found motivation, I started to wonder about how my diet affects my eyesight. You would have probably heard that “carrots are good for your eyesight”. I certainly have, but I wanted to know more. I did some research and wrote an article based on my findings. You can check it out here…

That question is constantly on my mind… is my eyesight improving? Are these eye exercises working?
I am happy to say that I have been continuing the eye exercises regularly. Yesterday I got the first indication that the eye exercises may be improving my eyesight
I was able to discern the numbers on a the number plate of a car some distance away (I didnt measure the distance, but it was far enough that I wouldn’t have even thought of trying to read the numbers).

I was speaking with someone and looked away for a moment at the car, when I noticed that I was actually seeing the numbers. However, I lost focus quickly. But, I was able to tell what the numbers were (not totally clear) after I tried to focus on them again.
This is quite encouraging!

Today I started back doing the eye exercises. As I mentioned in my post on Wednesday, I wasn’t doing the exercises on a regular basis as I should have.

I am going to make a conscientious effort to do these exercises regularly, so that I can give the Vision For Life Program a fair chance and readers of this blog can truely follow my progress.

I have to admit that I am a bit dissapointed in myself. I haven’t been doing the exericises regimentally, like I want to.

I started doing these exercises on the 17 May. I did it everyday for the first three (3) days and then haphazardly thereafter. I have also missed quite a few days.

I thought to myself, if I continue like that, I am going to be unfair to the Vision For Life Program as well as myself. I would also be unfair to the readers of this blog. I opted to try eye exericises because I wanted to improve my vision. I certainly cannot do that if I don’t do the exercises.

Anyways, I have made a promise to myself to make a conscienous effort to do the eye exercises regularly.

Here’s a good tip for reducing computer eyestrain: make your default background color slightly darker, without overdoing it. This reduces the harsh glare of most applications, at the expense of a small amount of contrast. Most people I know that have tried this say it makes a big difference, especially if they use their screen for long periods.

If you have Windows XP, do this:

• Right-click the desktop and select “Properties”;
• Click the “Appearance” tab;
• Click the “Advanced” button;
• Click in the white area of the “Active Window” window;
• Click the “Color 1″ drop-down;
• Click the “Other” button;
• Drag down the slider on the right-hand side a bit.

This will reduce the three component colors of the default white background color, making it slightly darker (values in the region of 240 to 245 seem appropriate); Click all the “OK” buttons to implement the change, which will restart your display manager. Some applications won’t pick up the new color until you restart them or reboot.
