I did the eye exercises along with ortho-keratology and my vision went from 20/600 to 20/70. My eye doctor insists that the exercises work.

Doctors know their specialty; ones that perform surgery such as LASIK will talk up what they can do and put down the subfield they are not experts in. I went to many eye doctors, unfortunately all surgeons, who told me that my eyes would only get worse unless I received a radial keratotomy. These doctors laughed off ortho-keratology and eye exercises. Guess what, they were wrong.

Always get second and third opinions. If you first go to an eye surgeon then go to an eye doctor who doesn't do the surgery. This made all the difference in my career. I got my class 1 medical and now fly for a major airline.

Now that I am aging I can read without grabbing for the reading glasses since I am still doing the exercises. They work.
