An Update On My Eye Exercises…
Hello Readers,
It has been a while since I wrote a post on the blog. I have been extremely busy at work… but here is an update on my progress as well as some other related things:
1) Because of how busy I was over the past two weeks, I haven’t been doing the exercises regularly… actually I have done them about three times within the past two weeks.
2) What makes it even worst, is that I have been using the computer quite often… more often than usually, but I haven’t been following the recommendations for reducing computer eyestrain that I myself have recommended on the blog… things have been that hectic!
3) Despite that above, I have found that my feel “more relaxed” when I look at things without using my glasses… especially things outside during the daytime
3) I expect that things would be a bit less hectic in the comming weeks and I would certainly start back with a more regular routine
4) I had forgotten to mention that a couple of weeks ago I finally tried all the exercises recommended by the Rebuild Your Vision Program. The exercise are quite easy once you get accustomed to them.
4) One of the readers of the blog, Alex, has made quite a bit of comments on the blog, which has encouraged me to continue doing a bit more research… I hope to post my findings on the blog in the near future.
5) I again want to thank all the readers that have been making post about their progress… please continue to do so..
Regards,
William

Hey, William, I just came up with a page I know we can use for interesting exercises:
http://www.23uhr55.de/pages/stereo/home.htm
You know, it’s all a matter of getting back to the correct “association” between eyes’ aiming directions (*) and their focused point (**). We (myopic people) got used to focus near while looking far. Nothing less, nothing more. Quite simple, huh? Now we can keep this way, or go back to a more “harmonized” condition. Those pictures (***) can be very useful to exercise ourselves to cross our eyes (just as much as to see a virtual third “stereo” picture between the two real ones) while focusing farther. We only have to practice (****) as many of the possible combinations of eyes-crossing and point-of-focus to go back to the “healthy” person sight.
(*) I mean the 2 virtual lines connecting each eye with the object we are staring at, regardless of wether the object is focused or blurred.
(**) I mean the virtual point in front of us that we are focusing, regardless of eyes’ directions
(***) We could even take pictures or create drawings by ourselves, if we have time to.
(****) I’m practicing with and without my glasses/lenses, but for the time being my myopia is too high to let me focus an object without crossing my eyes so much to give me headache after a quarter of hour
You know, my good poor eye-muscles have been contracting from a looooong time ago! 
Well, do you SEE/HEAR/FEEL (*****) something useful in these ideas? I hope so. I’ll very patiently wait for your answer
Alex
(*****) A little tip: it’s not the best idea to ask a nearsighted person if he/she can SEE something

Hi William,
I just came up with another probably useful trick. I put between me and my computer, pointing it in a way that I can see a distant place inside it. This reflected place can be the sky out of my window, the ceiling of my room, or just what’s behind my shoulders. It’s cool because, even when I see the same face of mine reflected inside this mirror, the distance between my eyes and the object they are aiming at is doubled
Hope you all can find it useful too.
Take care
Alex
Hmmm, just thinking… covering my room walls with mirrors in order to multiply the distances my eyes would focus would be a smart idea
For the time being, though, I think it’s better to start from little things, like putting some reflective objects “here and there in my office room”.
Take care again
Alex
Again, I’m asking myself if nearsightedness could be also developed by the fact that we put a thing (lenses) in front of our eyes: they immediately “focus back” because they “feel” that something is too near to them. I can experience this when I try to look at an imaginary point beyond the monitor: it’s very difficult for me yet, even if I start by looking toward the sky and then “slide” to the monitor…
I also know that a similiar but opposite explanation can be found for farsightedness…
Hi William!
I just found an odd page about eyes-massaging devices. It makes me smile

I wonder if there’s any useful idea in those funny things…
It is a very interesting story. Thanks!
