Christian posts in the forum:

First of all, I apologize for not having been too involved in the forum for the past two months. I was on vacation from school and tried to use as much time outdoors as possible. I only used my computer for errands that I had to get done and for reading the blog.

Now, to let you know, in the past six months or so I have improved my vision more than the year and half before that. I did many mistakes that got me stuck for a while (you can read about them here).

I’m still working on improving but here are the 3 key points to how and why I improved a lot and haven’t given up despite highs and lows:

Ask yourself WHY?

There are times when your vision might seem to not improve much or life might get in the way and you may feel like giving up.

But this will help you keep going: ask yourself WHY are you doing this? Why are you improving your vision?

Do you want to avoid eyesight complications later in life? Do you want to experience what is it like to have the freedom of waking up and not needing any glasses? Swimming and not losing your contacts? Not worrying about broken glasses? Etc.

Or do you just want to prove to yourself that by working with your body you can discover that your eyes are actually not broken but they just adapt to your habits (i.e. too much close up: poor far distance)?
Writing down your whys will come very handy for the not-so-cool times of vision improvement.

Ask yourself HOW?

For you to believe that your eyes can improve, despite the mainstream idea that they can’t, you must first understand how your eyes work and why you started having trouble seeing far away in the first place.

When you understand HOW you got to where you are today, you’ll be able to start learning HOW you can reverse the procedure and implement habits that will let you reach your eyesight goals.

I had read so much about alternative ways of improving vision, both online and offline, that I ended up being really confused about what I was doing. There is so much BS out there that sounds so “logical” I didn’t even question it.

But there lies the problem: I didn’t question much.

“YOU CAN IMPROVE 2 DIOPTERS A MONTH!! BUY MY PROGRAM FOR $10”… oh yeah? HOW? HOOOW can that be possible?

I was so trapped in my feelings of just wanting to improve I didn’t even ask myself how I was going to do it and just “hoped” for the results… don’t hope, just plan!

HABITS

Again and again I had to remind myself: our vision doesn’t improve by exercises, it improves through habits that allow good vision to be maintained or, in our case, gained.

I didn’t make a list for a long time and I believe that’s the reason I never saw results before.
One week I would try something and another week I would try another thing, so without long term habits there was not enough time to track results.

So forget what you learned somewhere else about vision improvement, and learn from the installments in this website how to do it. After you learn how to improve your eyesight through the installments, make a list of the habits you have to implement daily to get results and find a way to fit those habits in your schedule and life.

The list can be a brief one just to make it clear and organized in your mind what you’re going to have to do to achieve your goal of 20/20 or one-digit diopters (if you’re coming from the double digits of -10 and up).

Take ACTION!

That speaks for itself.

The cons of us being a small niche is that there’s not so many (if any) trust worthy resources out there to learn from, but thanks to Jake we have this forum and this website where we can learn from each other. Hope this helps. Good luck and good vision for you.

There is a lot of gold in the forum.  Thanks to Christian for taking the time to share his perspectives!

(The original thread is here, if you have forum access.)
