My myopia's reduced with eye execises

Hi,

I just wanted to say that natural vision therapy has worked for me. My myopia was -5.00/-5.25 according to an eyetest last year. It's now -3.75/-4.0 according to an eyetest conducted last week.

The main thing I did was avoid wearing glasses as much as possible, and also, wearing a reduced prescription (one diopter less than my full prescription). I also did some Bates stuff (palming etc) and another set of exercises called 'power vision' exercises which helped a lot.

I think it's worth trying natural methods before going for surgery, if one has the time that is! These methods do take a fair amount of commitment and patience, but they've been effective so far for me, and I intend to continue them.

Best wishes,
Northern Lights
