I encourage you to share your experience of what you found to be helping your vision improvement as well. Thank you,
summary
1. Print out snellen charts and look for any clarity change with less blur. DO NOT Fixate your focus but even a little shift of focus to look for clarity is the key
2. Active Focus - when you are able to see letters less blurry after a natural blink (without squinting). This will last longer as you practice with peripheral vision.
3. Reduce prescription of your current glasses (refer to the link above for proper method)
4. Be outside in the sun especially between 8am to 11 am for geting vitamin D as well as U.V. that is beneficial for your eyes
5. Reduce screen time - small screen and small texts are detrimental to myopia condition
Thank you,
I do it with diya(Indian candle) and it is an Indian eye exercise known as tratak in yoga
@@soorajwrir4433 any tutorial about that?
@@streetmanners9048 whatch fit tuber
What do i keep my screen time? Like atmost 3--4 hours?
@@DENJI_KUN.. less the better like 1-2 hrs but it doesn't end there. you also need to go outside and do distant viewing for 1-2 hours
Back in the early 70's kids were daring each other to see how long you could stare at the sun
Meanwhile me, who was born in 2007 who used to do this with my friends too
@@BeatsBySI also used to do it as a kid
I too have done it in my school that if my class period is maths beside window seat gazed upon the sun
@Fadexd888 😂😂
@Fadexd888 you just get a white spot for a few seconds and that's it
a laser would make you go blind,but still it depends on how strong,for what duration,what wavelength the light is and what distance you're away from it
the sun would take 10's of minutes to have a noticeable effect
I was waiting to hear Jake Steiner’s name, I have learned everything from him. Thank you for sharing!
You got it!
I am very happy that you got your eyesight back/it improved!
Thanks, brother! I appreciate your positive comment.
Thank you. I am going to follow everything you say. Of all the tubes I watched, I found yours with sincere information. May yours and your subscribers live 2024 and beyond in Radiant Health, Abundance and joy and to all your loved ones the same.
Wow, that’s the warmest and most heartfelt new year greeting I ever received this year. Thank you so much. I appreciate your kindness and sincerity. If you need any guidance along the way, please feel free to let me know. I will try my best to help you based on my experience. I hope you have a wonderful and vibrant new year with best of health!
Very kind of you to help out. Thanks
Thank you for your kind words!
I switched to a bigger tv that i sit further away from for all work and entertainment and this alone helped to improve my vision
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing, it's a great way to prevent ciliary muscle spasms.
I like that this video has a summary in the end. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 'til the end!
This is GREAT!
Congratulations!!
Thank you!
Thanks for your inspiring video! This should help many who are facing the problem. Especially for those who have to work on a computer for a long time at work and at home.🌄
Thank you for your positive feedback! 🥰
🙏 Great advice! Thank You So Much for the illumination! 🕯🌷🌿🌍
he s absolutely right...
i did the same...
it really helped me... u'll see the difference within a month
rising sun'slight helped me the most...
just go for a walk during that time and try starring far....
My eye doctor puts extreme light on my eyes, and he told me I would be blind by the time i am 20. This gave me hope thank you.
Try to exercise go to nature and relax. Also try use fruits on your eyes like cucumber on both eyes
Great.
Went from 20/60 to 20/20.
Took 2 years
gonna try this out and check back in a few months!
Awesome, let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for the informative video
My pleasure!
From personal experience, the morning sun exposure ( sunrise to just before 10.am) definitely works. Also, sunset exposure IF you are able too. Don't stare directly at the sun. Just look in the general direction of where the sunlight is coming from.
Thank you 🙏 for your tips! I completely agree!
It's really kind of you to take time off your schedules and answer even the recent inquiries. So thank you so much :)
I got my glasses 2 years ago. I had -1.0 myopia in both eyes but the fear that I might live like this for my entire life was far too bigger. So I researched everywhere and after finding out that after 20, eyes stop developing and the damage remains permanent after that, I made it my goal to reduce my myopia or atleast stop its progression. I tried everything, from eye exercises and 20/20/20 rule to using a laptop from more than an arm length away instead of my phone and reducing my screen time as much as possible aside from my online classes. I'm 19 now and I feel like it's only gotten worse, probably more than 2.0. If I read books for more than 30 minutes, even the things 2 feet away look blurry and not even my glasses help with that. And that is affecting my studies and life a lot. So please tell me if there's anything else aside from the instructions in the video that'll help me with that temporary blurriness. It'd be a lot of help. Thank you.
Jasmine, you are a kind hearted! Remember this, your eyes will adopt your environment. If your eyesight is -2 now, it’s myopia. For myopia condition it’s not a disease. Key thing is to allow your eyes to adopt to environment and surroundings of viewing far distance objects. I will make a video on this to emphasize this point I forgot to mention. No matter what exercises you do, if the ratio of seeing close up is higher than looking far distance objects on a daily basis it will be difficult for your eyes to restore good vision. I experienced this since November working on making these videos or spending more time indoors with computers I have not improved since even with all my healthy eating habits for eyes and frequent exercises. I don’t know what the minimum time per day is but I am experimenting. I am spending at least 1-1.5 hr outside viewing (active focus) and limiting computer usage to less than 4-5 hrs a day and no small screen (phone) usage and seeing some improvement. But to be confirmed after a little longer period of time of trial. Keep you posted!
@@lifestephen Really thank you so much sir... now my journey would only stop at 20/20. Thank you for giving us a realistic hope. I hope you complete your goals. And just one last question: is diplopia reversible too, since that's what troubling me at the moment. Please share some light on this.
@@jasminetirkey5429 Yes I have it too. I have astigmatism as well but as mentioned before, since it's coming from myopia condition once your eyes restore to 20/20 it will improve. Also to remember, our eyes sight is never fixed, they fluctuate depending on your health and environment. Even when we reach 20/20 we need to consistently maintain good habits. Then whether it be double vision or setbacks all can be adjusted to normal.
Thank you sir
So, any results so far?
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Thank you, please share more
Will do 🫡
Wonderful
20/60, now on to 20/20.
I’m almost there 20/60 right behind you!
@@lifestephen I admire you and Jake Steiner for your scientific efforts.
This is great .
Going from 20/60, to 20/20.
Took me one year.
I use a plus lens for all close work.
Once at 20/20, no more minus lens glasses.
Awesome 👏 congrats! I can’t wait to reach to that point! Thanks for sharing Otie!
What is a plus lens?
@@hsny76h4l9 Plus lenses are the spherical lenses that correct for hyperopia - far-sightedness or presbyopia. The diopters are plus, ie) +1 or +1.25 etc.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thank You ! 🙂
My pleasure 😇
thanks, I need to try this, I want to surprise my doctor
Yes my optometrist was very surprised indeed.
This is great.
How I went from 20/50, to 20/20.
Took 2 years.
From -0.75 D to +0.5D.
How?
Great job 👏 how are you keeping it 20/20? Have you noticed if you have to reduce screen time to certain hours per day at all? I’m keeping track currently 4 hrs or more seem to affect me more but each different stage may be different I figure.
@@maliyakkalkakkotmuhammedha9167 Hi Mali,
But wearing a +2 for all close work.
Possible when Snellen still at 20/50
Prevention IS LONG TERM GETTING RID OF CLOSE WORK.
I went without glasses for a year because I couldn't afford to get a pair.
When I went to go get my driver's license I didn't even have to use glasses to pass the eye exam.
I drove for about another year before I decided I really needed glasses at night because my night vision was really bad. My eyesight has steadily gotten slightly worse since getting glasses again.
The only reason I can attribute it to not being a faster process is because as soon as I come home I take my glasses off and they don't go on again unless I drive or go to work.
Thank you sharing your story Kellie! I haven’t figured out this thing fully but I do think that our eyes dynamic nature of adaptation is powerful when we do not rely on our glasses. Although for a long term, there is a thing called blur adaptation we want to avoid. Hence the reduction methods work with great success. We definitely don’t want to rely on glasses all the time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thank you sir.
My pleasure! 😇
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for checking out!
Did this work for you?
I did it.
Mine was not quite as bad as yours. I made it to 20/20...took about 2 years from 20/200 to 20/20.
It does improve ones life.
Congrats 🎉! Can’t wait to reach 20/20. Currently stuck trying to make CZcams videos spending too much time looking at the video editor with my differential plus winter here with no sunlight exposure. But still trying with what I’ve got. Hope to achieve it in 3.5 years!
Thank you so much
So glad you found it useful.
This video has piqued my interest. I’ve been wearing glasses 24/7 (except sleep ofc)for about 6 years now. Every eye test I have had my eyesight has gotten worse. I’ve also noticed in recent times it is getting worse. Interesting video (can’t wait for more)
Yes true for many! When I didn’t do eye tests since they started charging 😂, I have not gotten worse for 10 years. As soon as I do the test my eyesight shows it to be significantly worse. It turns out our eyesights do not have fixed vision, they always fluctuate depending on your environment and how you use them. They adopt to fit the best hence if you using them for closeup work for prolonged period of time, they will be accustomed to that. (Only taking about myopia here). Currently working on what food and supplements benefited me in rapid improvement. Stay tuned!
Does this work?
Side note: magic eye books have reallllly helped me to relax my ciliary eye muscles and strengthen my mental to ocular correspondence.
I appreciate you sharing the info, love to delve into it!
Thank you sir
My pleasure!
Concrats on getting rid of ciliary spasm, now the fun part begins🙂
How to get rid of ciliary spasm?
@@MSN539 Stop/limit the use of the ciliary. Going outside and viewing distance does this along with almost ZERO reading with 20/20 vision Its too hard on the eyes, use glasses that see clearly only to your phone or book or computer, no further, keeps the ciliary relaxed, the glasses do the work, takes up to 6 weeks, GOOD LUCK!!! Go outside loads
@@kkevinj1 I’ve never wore glasses in my life and I have to squint and close my eyes hardly to see the board in the school but I could barley see the 20/200 on the snellen chart I printed so I assume I have like -3. Do I wear reading glasses when using my phone since I see my phone and close up work 20/20?
@@MSN539 Well the goal is to get the phone as far away as possible and you want the phone SLIGHTLY blurry so that there is a very small challenge of myopia remaining. Try and clear the remaining blur with your eyes and brain, both relaxed. Its called active focus.
My hint is: notice the floor around you while doing everthing, really pay more attention to the floor than the area where you are looking at. In another words, anchoring your whole perception to the floor, yourself, your nose, shoulders, then you slowly "share" this perception to the thing you are looking at. Even wearing glasses.
While wearing weaker glasses you will get more flashes of clearity doing it.
Your full prescription does this without you knowing, it brings you back to yourself, it puts you in a contemplative state of you and things that are nearer and surrounds you. In a technical way, the light gets converged in front of your eyeballs, shinning light in the whole surface of your eyes. Your task is constantly makes your eyeballs do the task by getting aware of your near surrounds all the time.
amazing! Thanks for sharing, it's exactly how you should be using peripheral vision to improve vision. I do it by 'shift focus' or 'panoramic view capturing'. it seems to get me out of tunnel vision quickly. but something constant like floor perception is the way to go!
I'm mildly myopic. I lost my glasses once and went without for a bit until I caved and bought new ones. My prescription went down by 0.5. I got interested in this eyesight improvement stuff and my experience is that it does work as long as I keep doing the exercises but if I stop my myopia goes back to baseline pretty quickly. I've sort of given up on it as being too high maintenance when I can just wear glasses instead.
Sunlight does make a difference, I live far up north that I miss what little sunlight there is entirely for parts of December and the difference in my eyesight between summer and winter is obvious. I attribute part of this to just the effect of more sunlight hitting my eyes, part to me being outside more to look at far away things, part to not needing to wear glasses as much when it's bright outside and my pupils shrink and refractive errors shrink.
I agree with you! It’s challenging with modern lifestyle with computers and phones. On the other hand, it is a liberating thought if you can do activities without requiring glasses especially for those who has been wearing it life long. ;)
Has this worked for you?
Thank you. Helpful. God bless you.
May God bless you with health and peace of mind!
Thank you for the information! Have you any thoughts on pinhole glasses?
I think they may help temporarily but not sure about lasting progressive improvements. But I heard of some who benefited.
Incredible success.
Now 20/20.

@@gayatricasey6618 sure in the mean time work on both of your eyes now since you will need to see improvements at least in the next month or two before reducing for one eye. also take the free course from Jake Steiner's site which explains how you can track the progress by doing cm measurement at home and other basic knowledge. Cheers,

Absolutely interesting topic. Indeed I want to improve my eyesight. Will start right now. Where I can get the eye charts?
Here’s one, visionsource.com/site/assets/files/1192/vision_source_eye_chart.pdf
A few months ago my vision was -1.25 (left eye) and - 0.75 (right eye). Now I feel it has gotten worse. I will do exercises during 1 year and share my results here. Thanks for the previous response 🙏
As I explained in the video I went from -5.00 diopter to -3.5 glasses at the time so no where near 20/20 where you don't need glasses. I've so far reduced further to -2.75 at this point. If you check out the links I shared in the video and description, you can find other testimonials of people who reduced more than me. But based on my experience so far, this truly works but it's slow and require incredible amount of efforts and adjustments to lifestyle. But i'm excited that it's working because the glasses I used to wear are all too strong for me and can't wear them anymore. Amazingly I'm heading in the right direction. I anticipate reaching 20/20 in 3 year time line. Basically 1 diopter per year improvement. On this channel i will be sharing my experiences what worked and what didn't. Btw, I am very happy you raised that question and leaving me a comment! Also I love your name. We need more minimalists in this world of excessive accumulation both physical and spiritual. May you stay true to your name! All the best!
Did you know that it is very important that babies and toddlers sleep in complete darkness at nightime with no lights on. This will help to prevent them from getting myopia studies have shown. Plus encourage children of all ages 2:23 to go outdoors in the daytime
Yes not only for babies but even for adults it applies the same! Thanks for sharing!
My eye power is very high plz pray for me😢😭
what's your rx?
Please make a video about how you do active focus as soon as possible, i want to improve my eyesight too 😢 😭thankyouuu
Will do! Thanks! In the meantime you can learn from others in Jake’s Facebook forum and his CZcams channel about others success stories!
I will try these and other methods everyday for the whole year or until I get 20/20 vision.
You and me both! Check out other success stories at Jake Steiner channel to get more tips from other people who have done it. Best luck 🍀!!
My sister used to stare at the sunset without sunglasses and now she has this weird white growth near her pupil.
Get it checked maybe she might go blind in the future
U gain a new subs.. I starting this from today I will update my progress after a months...
Can I can get my eye sight back 20/20?
Right -3 left 2.5.. and is it necessary to wear my eye glasses when I m in nature doing active focus ??
Congrats my friend on a journey to 20/20. For active focus, you will need a prescription 1 down. So if you are -3 then get a glasses with -2.75 and do the same for the other eye rx. And wear this as your normalized glasses. Otherwise if you are seeing everything crystal clear there’s no room to see any better to have active focus. Also for computer you should not wear this glasses but instead get a computer glasses for close distance. Follow the tips I shared and go do some research on your own to learn. I shared all the links of resources. Good luck my friend!

How large does the snelling chart need to be when you put it 10 feet away?
Also are you saying that these 5 tips only work for temporary improvement or they really made a big change for you?
I have it printed out on a regular letter size paper. When looking at snellen chart, do not stare I made a mistake by saying the wrong word in the video, i meant to examine each letter for details of clarity forming when looking at the chart without glasses on. I plan to make a more structured format of how to implement these tips for beginners based on my experience what have worked for me so stay tuned but the tips will eventually become your lifestyle habit and restore your vision. since the posting of the video i learned a few more lessons to be shared such as breaking out of plateau stage or spotting when vision doesn't improve etc. However if you are just starting out, snellen chart is a good place to engage with active focus. If you struggle to form clarity then apply some of the exercises I shared in the shorts part1 when looking at the snellen chart it will definitely be easier. I started with -5 and right now i'm at -3 hoping to restore it completely by 2026. I wish you the best and Good luck!
Can you do a video about how to improve astigmatism that is the real challenge for me. Currently I see more of double vision instead of blurs.
I started my journey to clear vision 2022 October. I see a good improvement and feel comfortable wearing differentials. My power was 3.75 both eyes with bit of astigmatism.
Now by doing sunning, palming, walking outdoors my eyes improved. I’m writing this comment without glasses phone at some 40-45 cms distance elbow slightly bent.
Congrats! We started almost the same time. I’m slightly behind you I assume. What’s your current cm measurement? Or rx? I will certainly look into astigmatism focused improvement method as I also have as well.
Those that are light sensitive, sunlight is an issue, same with high contrast (most dark modes) or brightly lite backgrounds.
Happy Easter Everyone!😃🐰
i spent years with a patch over my good eye.. i went from 20/200 to 20/25.. one thing we did was put a piece of cellophane over a paper roll tube.. poked a hole in it and i read books with my bad eye , one letter at a time for years
I never thought that would really work based on my research. Thank you for sharing your personal experience!
Hi it's me agian, It's been 47 days now since i have been practicing active focus now i can read the 20/20 line on the snellen chart from 6 meters away but not perfecly.
Now it's easy for me to read the chart from 6 meters so i decided to read it from 7,50 meters away.
I can see the 20/25 clearly now and i will continue until i can read the 20/15 line.
I went to the ophtalmologist and my prescription decreased from minus 3 to minus 2.50 in 40 days.
I want to reach 20/15 so i can go to the church with my parents during the night (i always have been afraid on getting out at night because of my nearsightedness) when i cure myopia i will finally be able to go to the church at night agian
Hello
Kab laga chasma ap ko

Praise God! You made my day! Awesome! So happy to hear your success story! Next video I will make will include watch out for in order to sustain and continue improving without delay. Keep at it and God bless you!
Wearing glasses is very difficult for me. I am so used to contacts. Do you have advice for those of us wearing contacts? Or do all of your points in the video apply as well? Thank you! Will come back to this video, I found it very interesting and helpful!
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, the tips I shared can be applied to those who are wearing contacts. If your rx is very high (above -4 or -5) some people have benefitted from wearing +1.5 or so glasses for computer (aka differential glasses) and for normalized (for far viewing) get contacts with 0.25 lower than your normal rx. The detail steps on how. to reduce effectively can be found here, wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/Guide:Reducing_lens_complexity. Good luck in your journey to vision restoration! I"'ll be uploading a video soon about what I do to bring active focus quick. Stay tuned!
I have very bad vision since i was young, im at -6.75 i cant see anything. but one thing i can agree to you that ur eyesight can change throught the day. i will try ur habits and i hope it works!
How are you looking at the screen then? Maybe you just need to have more sun?
Also idk how having glasses at a young age influences your eyesight, but maybe do reading tests and don't use your glasses as much if you want better sight.
5:17 for future references
Do you mean the summary? I forgot to mention that one of the most important thing is your mindset. If you have believe your vision will improve, you have faith and hope which will ignite your passion. Your passion will drive everything you do to accomplish your desired goals. It is true for myopia case since it is quiet doable if you put your mind to it.

He has ‐3 on January 2024, as he has answered in one of the comments here.
I'm wandering if this video is actually an ad of Jack's Active Focus which is aggressively advertised now.
hahah thanks for your honest comment. I wish i get something from Jake or Mark since I'm unintentionally promoting them 🤣 I'm just sharing where I got my info from, that's all. Many people have questions that I can't answer which can easily found there. I don't agree everything but i gotta give credit otherwise I wouldn't have gotten where I'm at now with my vision.
When I’m in high school, there’s a high chance I could see clearly with no blur for some moment like you said but when I blink I see blurry again. I have 1 and 1.25 myopia. Will this make my eyes get used to clearly vision?
Awesome you have a great chance you will learn “active focus” quicker than others. Since your prescription is not too high. Try without glasses outdoors and wear only when you need them. And be active outside in the sun often and keep learning how to do active focus. Join Jake Steiner’s Facebook group to learn from others as well, it will speed things up in your learning curve. You will restore your sight back soon I have no doubt! Keep it up 👍🏼

Thank you for making this very informative video! My 12 year old Son wears Miyosmart glasses prescription is Distance Right Eye Sphere -2.5, Cyl -0.5 and Left Eye Sphere -2.5 Cyl 0.75. Please advise which prescription should reduce to?
Can you do a video about how to correct squit eyes please
Squint eyes? Due to habit right?
@@lifestephen yes
Sir prescribe me a differential glass for distance activity and close activity
Right eye:
Sphere :0.50 cylinder:1.25 axis :90°
Left eye:
Sphere :0.50
Cylinder:1:00
Axis:90°
I’m not an optometrist but based on more than 10 yrs of data from Jake’s community who have improv their vision, typically use 1 to 1.5 diopter less for differential. So your case may not need a differential glasses instead just practice not wearing glasses if you can see clearly close up. But having said that, your astigmatism is high, so you will experience some ghosting or double vision still until you correct it.
@@lifestephen I have double vison and eye strain on seeing object without glass
So can I reduce the cylindrical power to 1.00 and 0.75 and buy a new glass
@@phoenix_ra I don't have a lot of knowledge on this topic eventhough I have astigmatism myself. Said that, I know cylnder reduction takes much longer every reduction might be 6 months or maybe longer. So depending on which reduction you wanna tackle first, your plan will change. My personal approach which i'm doing now is tackling sphere reduction first. So if you take the same approach then, you may need a normalized glasses (for outdoor activities) with R) 0.25 cyl 1.25 axis 90 and L) sph 0.25, cyl 1.00 axis 90 to start. (for differential you just remove your glasses when doing desktop or close up work) and after daily active focus and measurement at home for about 3-4 months hopefully your spherical reduction is establsihed. Then pretty much your spherical is close to normal so just focus on reducing cylinder at that point by focusing on clearing out ghosting and night time neon lights etc. Your brain needs to align with your visual image accurately. Good luck!
@@lifestephen thankyou man for spending your valuable time for me
Again thanks a lot
@@phoenix_ra It's my pleasure, hope you achieve success!
Small fonts are not bad.. even fine prints, microscopic or diamond prints are helpful to improve your sight. So it's not a problem to read small fonts for 2-3 hrs a day with little breaks...
You know it's not a good idea to eat 3 time meals at once. So take some rest, palm your eyes. Straining is a natural part of eyesight, don't stress yourself that my eyes are worsening... Blink, palm relax❤

Thank you so much for sharing! Could you please tell us how to sungaze safely? How can I watch the sunset without turning blind? I see you mentioned using sunglasses. Were they normalized sunglasses?
I"m not a big proponent of sungazing for mass because we don't know what eye conditions you may have. And it could be dangerous. I tried it myself personally and shared it but I no longer do it consistently. I did it only the first 20 minutes of sunrise and then last 20 minutes before sunset without any sunglasses at the time. But recently I noticed I could get the same benefits without directly looking at the sun but just around sun or even just looking up on the sky, clouds so that it doesn't blind you, this way much safer and get the similar benefits I believe.
Does this thing called 'candle meditation' or better known as 'tratak' work for improving eyesight? Can you make a video on it!
I have heard of candle light staring but not sure about ‘tratak’ which appears to be a yogic practice. I’m cautious on any spiritual practices. And currently do not have much knowledge to make video on. Will look into it.
Go out more. Reduce mobile phone use.
My eyesight is improving day by day
- get enough sleep
- eat carrots, beetroot
- 5min breaks every half hr watching screen
- drinking MORE water - avoid drinking anything AFTER EATING to protect heart.
- sleep in a dark room
- first hr when u wake up and last hour before sleep AVOID going on screen.
- eat more green veg
- are you diabetic?
- when did u have a blood test n what were the results? ( if u are okay with this )
@@My_Secret_ArtSketchbook thanks for your suggestions (and I'm not diabetic )
i think my eyesight now is -2.00 🥹 at 16 years old my goal is to be 20/20 at 18
Certainly possible! Just keep 20-20-20 and do those eye exercises I shared in the shorts every break! And reduce screen time while increasing outdoor time!
I use an oil lamp when there is no sunlight. It seems to help. Fireplace is another option.
Thanks for your tip!
how does active focus change the shape of cornea for astigmatism ?
active focus I believe is only helping your vision restoration so once your vision is restored then the shape of cornea is restored to normal shape. so basically active focus itself I believe is making an attempt to restore the shape. just my opinion.
Can you make a video about how you do active focus?
Will consider! In the meantime check out Jake Steiner’s channel and search active focus in his Facebook group to learn more. It will give you some idea!
Thank you very much for your video, this is really informative.😇
I just got eye check and it was -0.25[L] & -0.50[R], so should I wear my prescribed glasses that I just received?(I can still read without them)
Also, for how long should I stare at that vision chart?
Your reply will be really helpful.
I wouldn’t get prescription glasses. Your prescription is low enough to improve fast if you just apply tips I shared. And for looking at snellen chart instead of staring just look for details or edges of letters to see if clarity changes after examining for a few minutes
Great
:memorizes eye chart:
😂
My coworker handed me a post-it note and the writing was so tiny I had difficulty reading. Of course he has very good eyesight. I do not. Did he write small because he has good eyesight, or does he have good eyesight because he writes small?
Some ppl just write small! ;)
plz make video for active focus how to find active focus
It's kinda natural to some(not everyone) as when they are ages, the myopia tends to fluctuate.. that is also a sign where you may experience near vision problem (increase) (if you're 38-40's of age)
Appreciate your feedback!
Can I squint when staring at the chart, or no? Also I was told by several eye doctors that for people with lighter colored eyes sun exposure on the eyeballs mad harm vision over time so I should be sure to wear sunglasses. So I but darkening lenses on my glasses. I suspect this might be utter bullshit but I am afraid to risk ruining my vision further.
Appreciate your questions, please do not squint or force in anyway when looking at the chart. Also instead of staring, I meant really just examining the letters on the chart for any clarity changes if you can tell. It is more effective and a few blinks can bring clarity and focus when you are at the right distance so play around with the distance rather than squinting. Regarding the sun exposure, I think it's pretty safe to have morning sunlight(9-10am) come into your face (your eyes) AS LONG AS you don't directly look at the sun (even for lighter colored eyes) but after that, sunlight may become harmful to your eyes so it's best to wear a sunglasses and sun protection for your skin as well. I only experimented sun gazing (5-6am sunrise time only) 20 min for a couple of months and I shared that in the video which is not for everyone especially if you have blue eyes.
@@lifestephen Understood. Thank you for responding so quickly and in detail. I will definitely try this.
Out side in the sun morning and evening with glasses or with out glasses please tell me ihave -3 eye sight in two eyes
Without glasses is the best in the first 1-2 hrs in the morning and evening but during the day if you are outside wear glasses. But if you are working at the desktop wear differential glasses which I explained in the video.
expending time on phone and not going outside really messes up your eyesight. my eyes got worse when i got my laptop at 15. That's when i started having vision problems. been using glasses for around 16 years and it sucks. Im totally reducing my screen time. And it made a complete difference
I agree it surely can be challenging to limit screen time but when done effectively or even with 20-20-20 habits your eyes can be in much better and healthier state. I've used 20-20-20 to reduce my eye power with 6-7 hour computer screen time so it is effective given the distance to computer has to be kept strictly.
I don't understand the third part, should i still wear lower prescription glasses when using my computer or stick to my prescribed glasses or increase it since the text is little blurry when i lean back from my chaie
last year my prescription was -3.50 for my left eye and my -4.50 for my right eye i just went to my eye doctor and i have improve as well my left eye was -1.50 and my right eye was -0.00.
what are things u did ?
Incredible, that's very rare to reduce 4.5 diopters in one year, even 2 diopters in one year is not common. what country do you live in? Did you have any screen time?
I live in Texas and I do have screen time I'm a virtual student but I reduced my screen time by 1-2 hours.@@lifestephen
I reduced my screen time , went outside to get sunlight , eat healthy food, and do other activities that don't include screen time.@@madhanlal.m7405
Could you recommend something for height growth in teens, specifically 16 year old boys@@lifestephen
Make sure your sunglasses have UV protection, some optometrists will test for free. The kind you get at a gas station or a flea market may have no protection. Also the 20-20-20 rule is good to practice if you're on the computer a lot. Every 20 minutes stop & look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Thanks for your good suggestions! 🙏 I agree 20-20-20 rule is healthy!
It's actually called the 20-20-2 rule. After 20 minutes of close-by work, 20 seconds to look at something at least a few feet away (doesn't have to be 20 feet, even 10 feet is far enough) and lastly 2 hours being outside each day. I study Orthoptics and this is what I learn at school.
I’d have to find the study, but it’s been shown that blocking UV light inhibits the production of a protein created in your eye that inhibits eye growth meaning your eyes continue to grow without the stimulus of UV rays. I would be careful, therefore, to block UV rays constantly, that teaching /adage is becoming outdated.
Can you pls make a video on how to do active focus or explain in comments in simple words also for how long amd how many times should we do it?
Eventually you will do it all the time as long as your eyes are open. But in the beginning you want to get in the habit by activating that clarity to come as frequently as possible. I spent 1.5 hrs every morning at a designated spot with open view looking around while listening to the audio. If you can, even an hour a day looking at trees or buildings or utility poles outside will engage your eyes quicker.
@@lifestephen ok thank you
Hello! My vision is around -3.00 and i am trying my best to reduce screen time. The cause of this was due to deficiency of vitamins and also a LOT of screen time. I suffer rom blurry vision, and am currently using glasses. My Target is to reduce the number of my specs. Could you provide some information on how i can reach my goal?? As all my friends have been saying that their specs no. Keep increasing, and that scared me so bad 😅
Keep up with reducing screen time as it is, I think number one reason eyesights don't improve fast. so really the top five tips I shared is still the best things to get started with and do some digging yourself using the links I shared as well to further educate yourself about how to recover naturally. I'm now at -3.25 and still working hard to reduce screen time and increase outdoor active focus time to 2 hours minimum. Hopefully you can join in the journey and restore your eyesight to normal in 3 years. it is a reasonable goal to achieve. Best wishes!
@@lifestephen thanks for your tips :)
I wish there was a cure for strabismus other than surgery. Ocular misalignment is very difficult to live with.
Sorry, I don't have experience with this but search for exercises and natural treatments. We live in an information world, 80% of the time we can find stuff for the problems we have, only need to discern what's true, so if we have both willingness(to search) and discernment, most of the solutions to our life problems can be found. Best of luck my friend!
@@lifestephen I've done a bunch of exercises for this condition but it continues to deteriorate.
@@basspig sorry to hear that.. sometimes we need to consider the last resort (surgery) but do your own due diligence thoroughly before to prevent regrets.
@@lifestephen my doctor warned me of the 50% success rate of this procedure. I don't like the idea of cutting the "good" muscle to weaken it to compensate for the bad muscle.
I am starting to think it's a neurological problem actually, since it came after I had a stroke in 2011. The brain forgot how to synch both eyes. I can move them, but they just don't remain locked on target.
Ty!
Pleasure!
How do I exactly do I practice active focus? Should I wear my glasses for the 10ft away chart? Also, how should I reduce my prescription? Should I lower it by about .05 , more or less? And I’m aware that eye gymnastics aren’t scientifically proven to help, but have you been doing them to improve your vision?
Active focus is something you need to acquire by playing around with distance, doesn’t have to 10ft if you are not wearing glasses but with glasses then definitely 10ft or more, depends on rx. For getting the right glasses and prescription, check out the link in the description for ‘how to reduce lens complexity’
Hello, my right eye is near sighted and my left is far sighted. My eyes like to work separately, should I do anything special to train them to work together?
I would first focus on restoring right eye using the tips I shared in the video.
I’ve been getting double vision lately because my left eye keeps getting out of focus and i see, say a sign double and move to the left. My right eye is dominant but I’ve been training with a pen and getting them focused again. I did play games and watch tv close up moved everything further back, it’s already a little better.
Wow you are amazing! Don’t get your eyes slip back for too long. Kudos to you!
@@lifestephen I appreciate the video, these tips immediately made my vision better. It was hard to drive, I was doing it with my left eye closed. After following your directions and others, and not doing obvious things damaging them like watch tv or play games close up.
I began Staring at the tip of a pen, moving it close and further back, then looking at one I taped on a wall 20 feet away helped but going outside after and doing your tips all together was a perfect remedy for me personally. This was a recent occurrence, and I believe It came from a drastic change in tv size and brightness with no change in distance. With my basic knowledge lol it probably glitched out my eye to where it just couldn’t calibrate correctly.
@DankestOfMoons Thanks! Your comment is very helpful. Could you let us know of any other things you did to restore your vision?
It sounds exactly the same as what I am going through! It is disheartening and only I can feel the vision issue.
@@It_Will_Be_Okay that’s pretty much it, the pen trick worked well to recalibrate the eyes, my left specifically. And going outside and just looking at trees and the surroundings stabilized it. I do it every morning and whenever I feel like my eye is getting lazy. I’ve began pushing my phone and tv further back as well, just so it doesn’t damage them further.
@@DankestOfMoons That's very encouraging. I am starting it right now. Hope to get restored soon. Thank you once again.
