Improving My Eyesight

Wow! It has been a while since I’ve posted on this blog.

Well, the truth is I’ve been very delinquent in regard to doing the eye exercises… despite the slight improvement I experienced some time ago.

However, during the past several weeks, a couple of things happened which have led to the point where I see the need to continue with the eye exercises.

1/ One of my co-workers went and did an eye examination. I had inquired about the results and during our discussion she revealed that the optometrist indicated that her eyesight had gotten slightly worst, and that she should try doing some eye exercise to help prevent further deterioration!

2/ One day, again at the office, I accidentally noticed another co-worker staring at a pencil which he held in his had a short distance away. When I asked what he was doing, he indicated that his optometrist suggested that he do eye exercises… because he was slightly cross-eyed (technically referred to as esotropia)!

3/ Over the past few months, I have had cause to spend long hours at the computer… and while doing so, I have been disregarding the 10-10-10 rule. Because of this, I am sure that I have negated any improvements to my vision from the eye exercises.

Based on the above, I have realized a few things…

… Since eye exercises are being recommended by optometrist, it suggests that there is in fact some merit to natural vision improvement.

… Commitment and discipline are necessary to succeed with eye exercises. I can’t expect to not do the exercises and yet see results.

All in all, I have started back doing the exercises and I am going to try and be consistent.

If anyone has recommendations as to how to help me keep myself committed, I would greatly appreciate your comments.

Some great news today – one of the readers of the blog, Balamani, posted a comment (you can read it here) indicating how their eyesight improved because of eye exercises.

Here is the comment that Balamani posted:

dear williams,

i still cant believe it , nor cld the doctor believe it.
my powers were -4.50 in right eye and -4.00 in left eye.

I made another visit to the optometrist earlier this week… and….

…She indicated that my eyes have improved slightly.

I was also able to organise a pair of glasses that are lower than my prescription.

Good News!…

This is extremely encouraging and motivates me to carry on with the eye exercises.

Hope it gives you guys some hope as well…

I read the following on a website and found it quite interesting:

1) The cornea is the only living tissue in the human body that does not contain any blood vessels.
2)The eye of a human can distinguish 500 shades of the gray.

Hey everyone,

Just dropping a short note to let you know that I recieve my package for the Eyesight Improvement Study. To find out more about what I am referring to, check out this post…

I’ll keep you up to date with my progress with respect to my eyesight and the study…

I have not been doing the exercises regularly, despite the fact that I only need to do them once a day for 30mins

Anyways, I am supposed to have an appointment with the optician at the end of the month…

Talk to you all soon…

I just wanted to mention some of the benefits I have experienced from doing eye exercises. I think I actually mentioned these before… but either way…. here they are…

1) My eyes feel more relaxed.

2) I am now able to focus much better. I often try to write without using my glasses (with the page a little distant from my eyes of course… I should measure that actually!).

I would like anyone who has experienced similar or other benefits to post a comment. I would serve as motivation to me as well as the readers of this blog.

Wishing You All Success,

William

Good Day Folks,

I don’t know if this is a definite sign of improvement…. but I definitely think it’s a good sign.

I was sitting at my computer doing some work and I took off my glasses to rub my eye. Still with my glasses off, I was staring at the keyboard and noticed that I couldn’t really distinguish the letters on the keyboard.

Now there is an eye exercise that I do… and really like (you can check it out here) that helps you practise focusing. I decided to try the exercise to see if I could focus better on the letters.

To my suprise, the letters became quite distinguishable.  I was also able to hold the focus for some time.

I am so happy for this. Seeing results is so motivating.

Over the past few weeks, I have been quite busy and have been doing the exercises quite infrequently. I now realise that one of my biggest challenges is keeping myself motivated.

I remember reading somewhere – I think is was “Conversations with Millionaires” by Mike Litman – that one key to getting yourself to do tasks that may seem boring or too routine is to focus on the positive outcome of the task rather than the task itself. In this particular case, it means focusing more on the possibility of not having to be so dependible on my glasses.

Now this a great technique that has worked wonderfully in other aspects of my life… but although, it helped during the early stages of doing the eye exercises…. lately I am becoming less motivated.

So… I wanted to know what you readers do to keep yourselves motivated

Will keep in touch…
