Don’t make the mistakes I did.  It’s way, way easier to get to 20/20, than you might think.  Way less work and effort than I put in to get my own eyesight back.  In fact, it’s almost silly how little work it takes, to have great natural eyesight, and I way overcomplicated my own journey.  

This, no sales pitch.  No agenda.  

You will definitely have to put in the up front work.  It’s a real task, not to be underestimated, to learn about how your eyes work, to measure, to quantify your eye strain, and most importantly, to address all of your little bad-for-eyes habits.

You’ll take 2-3 months, to get on board properly.

That’s a real bit of a learning curve.  And from there you’re still going to be taking 20 minutes, a few times a week, to learn new things, to check your log, to refine habits.  It’s a bit like getting into running or rock climbing or yoga.  Learning things, building habits, getting to know yourself, your body, vis a vis a new challenge.

But past that, let me tell you a secret.

So.  Little.  Effort.  I log 6+ hours a day of close-up, most days.  Sure, I break it up to not be more than three hours at a time.  I did build routines into my day to make sure I can’t get around getting at least 2-3 hours of real distance vision a day.  Figure, taking the long way to the coffee shop and back home.  A walk through the park.  Always sitting next to a window for work.  Not going back inside before all ciliary spasm is resolved.

But in the scheme of things, think about how little inconvenience or work any of this is.  Six or more hours of close-up a day, and less than half that of distance vision.  That’s theoretically a ridiculous amount of eye strain potential and really not a lot of healthy distance vision at all.  If you add up your work commute, and a little walk at lunch, and something outside or otherwise distance vision after work, you can get to my numbers easily.

And that, realistically, bad-for-your-eyes-tically, is still going to get you improving eyesight, by around 0.75 diopters a year.  On autopilot, basically.  One day you wake up, no more glasses, don’t even remember how you got here.

That’s insane.  That’s awesome.  That’s in no-excuses territory, for a real benefits self improvement project.  Somebody should give @endmyopia some sort of Nobel prize, already.

If you haven’t started yet, this is the time.  Fate is telling you to get those eyeballs back in shape.

Cheers,
