About

I wore glasses for 20 years with my highest prescription being -10D and then for a few years I wore reduced strength lenses before going without glasses all the time. It’s been over 10 years now of using my natural eyesight. In my most blurry state I couldn’t read a letter 20cm high until it was 5 cm from my nose. Now I can fairly consistently read 6/18 (About 3/4 of the way down an eye chart), and I often see very clearly. I write here about some of my visual experiences, for myself, and to be part of a community of people documenting vision improvement to make it more visible.

I have used and use many different techniques all centred around the Bates method. Palming, sunning, swinging, swaying and shifting have all been fundamental for me. As have support from other therapies, family, friends and nature.  For more information on vision improvement techniques there are many good websites e.g. http://www.iblindness.or, visionsofjoy.org, seeing.org, centralfixation.com.
