If you’re a regular blog reader, you already know all of what the latest Youtube video covers, in quick recap format.
In some ways this is me practicing telling the story.
It’s also what we covered the other day, on outdoor time and improving eyesight. I try to talk about this often, even if it’s repeating things, since so many of the questions I get are technical, about lenses and diopters and text sizes and astigmatism and centimeter results.
Nobody ever asks, ‘hey do you think I’m getting outside enough’?
That’s the question to be asking the most, though. If you stop wearing full minus for close-up, and the only other thing you ever work on is being outside and pulling focus, you are going to experience improving eyesight.
We like more complicated answers than that, we like excuses to help us procrastinate.
Here’s the recap video edit of outdoor-happy-eyeballs:
Give it the thumbs, subscribe to ze channel. Yaa.
I often work on ‘engineering’ my day to push outdoor time. My go-to coffee shop is all the way across town, so that the motorbike commute adds a solid 30 minutes each way in automatic focus pulling activity. I try to get to the park and a run in before sunset, for more outdoor time. I offer to do errands and shopping for more distance vision time.
Ideally you win the lottery and you ‘engineer’ your outdoor time around lots of yachting and outdoor adventure sports. Barring that happening though, just do small things to give you a few extra minutes outside.
