Well, I just got back from an optometrist appointment. For those interested in some of my results now like john, todd, and otis, and a few others who may have commented or indirectly spawned off onto other topics, I made significant progress I am very glad to report. I've been doing Bates style exercises, plus lens therapy, pinhole glasses, and even the use of an eyepatch, which are just some of the tools in my arsenal to improve things. I've been doing then for 2 years now. My right eye went down a whole diopter from -2.75 to -1.75 (I really had not expected that great of a drop in my bad eye and even had to take a double take at the prescription and almost asked the doctor if he was sure that was correct. I can't remember being under -2.25, and attained a half diopter improvement on top of that. And to be honest I had thought little had changed in that eye. On the left, I had actually expected a better improvemen, since it is my better eye and seems to respond better to exercise, but that one changed from -1.50 to -1.25. No astigmatism has developed, so I consider these great documentation of the health of my eyes. I ended up getting the glasses prescription filled for use at night driving and darker cloudy days when it is raining out, just to be safe. I'm even more determined to continue working on this since I've had some official proof that it is possible and it just wasn't my perceptions, but an actual acuity change. Thanks for listening, and I hope to participate more in these discussions.
