Well it's working for me. It's 2 months now and I stopped using my glasses at the PC and (gulp) changed the screen resolution from 800 to 1024. I'm also using +1 lenses for an hour or so a day at the PC. It's now pretty comfortable going without glasses all the time - except I do wear them driving and in the street. The key I find is to stage progress in small chunks, make it a daily habit and be relaxed about it. Don't put yourself in extreme discomfort or danger, of course.
Great advice Todd - given that improvement is supposed to be physically impossible!
Great to hear of your progress, Patrea! Looks like you and Cindy have both succeed in going with out glasses, except for driving. (I was able to get rid of my glasses for driving, but I hesitate to write about that because I don't want to encourage anything dangerous. I'm working on way to revise my method to make it safe for anyone).
Great comment about the physical impossibility of eyesight improvement. I think that one of the themes of "Getting Stronger" is that many things that experts tell us are "impossible" -- eyesight improvement, stroke recovery, eating one meal a day, permanent weight loss, running faster barefoot than in shoes -- are in fact possible, once you understand how the body and mind adapt and remodel themselves.
I liked your Hormesis blog - do you have plans for any new posts soon? I'm also interested to hear how you are doing with Tabata. You might want to start a new discussion topic on Tabata training on this blog, I think it is very interesting!
Thanks todd yes I wear -3.5 glasses most of the time for distantes and driving, I feel quite comfotable in these. For reading I have started to use a +1 lense while reading a book at the edge of were I can focuse. Yes my vision is pretty blurry without glasses. Hoping this changes and I can reduce my prescription. Thanks for the advice
Matt22, Glad to hear you are getting started with plus lenses. Let us know of any progress or problems you are seeing as you work on this. Remember, it takes time and persistence, so stick with it and be patient.
Todd
