Improving eyesight
-
@heyman i am not sure
his youtube channel has many testimonials
reducing your lens will not work if you don't use the habits too

Have you tried the carrot salad? -
Watch the video there, and get that free course. Great introduction in how to help improve eyesight naturally.
Basically, our eyesight is bad from spending too much time using near vision. Reading, television, computers, video games, but as others here said though, lack of sunlight. We were meant to be outdoors, not indoors 90% of the day like most people are.
I have always noticed since I was a kid that my vision would improve while being in the sun. Not only an instant effect, but during summer my vision would improve over the weeks when being outside more every day.

I have never noticed any seasonal improvements with my eyesight, although my vision is good in general.But just some anecdotal evidence. I'm the only one in my family with good eyes and I've never cared about sunglasses (literally never had a pair in my entire life) and always looked directly into the sun. Also, I always looked directly into red light every now and then, since I started using a device for the first time when I was in my early 20's - which all manufacturers and "experts" warn against because it's supposedly so terrible to the eyes. And yet, "despite" doing everything "experts" warn against I have good eyes while my parents and sister can't see their hands in front of their eyes without glasses.
I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in. (Ray Peat)

I was the same with sunglasses and looking at the sun. Not directly for long, but I like challenging myself. When I suntan, I often look to check where the sun is and accidentally blind myself for a sec lol.
I probably noticed the seasonal improvements more because I am nearsighted. I wear contacts and glasses, have since I was like 15. Several times when I've been outside in bright sunlight without glasses, I notice that I can see so much better. It's like instant improvement.

@Hearthfire This is an answer to both you and luke.
So. I read on twitter a dude healed his nearsightedness by staring at the early morning sun and the later at evening sun for months. Don't remember what poster it was but the sun thing is interesting. I think contact lenses (which I usually wear) is not very good for getting sun in the eyes. Kind of blocks it.
Update.
So today I ordered new glasses, followed the recommendations from the book/pamphlet and got -2.75 on both eyes (-3.25 and -3.0 from my prescribtion) and no cylinder or axis adjustment since I only have minor astigmatism (-0,75). Will be interesting to see if I get any improvements!

@heyman you can achieve the same effect as lower lenses by simply looking at things at the "point of slight blur"

@heyman i will read it now
he has the right idea
yars ago I had the idea of using adjustable lenses, and I would adjust the strength of the lens for every activity I did
-
it does work
in nature at the lake i can see like a half mile away individual trees in the forest
it’s from being inside and books/screens and not looking far away alot
otherwise my prescription is like -3.75 iirc indoors in a lifestyle of office type work
i can literally drive a vehicle without a need for glasses when spending most of the time outdoors -
@Luke theres a study showing looking into red light is actually good
-
Yes I have seen that contacts block some of the UV light, but I have definitely experienced it both ways where if I have them off, the vision improves, and with them on it improves as well. Probably less of an effect, but still.

if you hypothetically were in a plane crash and lived on a desert island, your eyesight would improve

We have to go back, Kate!

Here is the video I mentioned before. Apparently he healed his eyes by looking at the sun early in the morning and at evening.

Could be beneficial the short moment the sun is just above horizon and look fully red/orange, once it get yellow and you start to see blue spots when you look away, likely bad to look at it directly.

@water-fire
Anecdotal but I became less sensitive to sunlight and got less headaches when I spent more time outside, cut pufa down, and did careful sun gazing. -
@Corngold where can you buy cheap lenses?
if you want to try reduced lens therapy, and are using reduced strength glasses?
-
@wester130 Not sure, I don't wear glasses.
