Vision Improvement Latest
Okay, I have a confession to make about my vision improvement. For some reason I'm starting to see worse with my glasses, or at least making little progress, but -- and this is a big but -- I'm seeing better with my naked eyes! I was trying to use the -1.75 glasses for a while but things seemed to be getting blurrier with them so, sadly, I had to start back wearing my -2.25 glasses. Not too long after this I stumbled upon some really cool looking pinholes from ClearVision Hawaii. I really love these pinholes because they actually look stylish and they wraparound my face so I have a more pinholed-in area. (Haha, made that word up.)
I'm not sure if it was from wearing these new pinholes or not but my eyes have been feeling really good as of late. These glasses do curve around my face instead of being straight like my original pinholes so this may make a difference. In any case I have noticed I have to see a little differently out of them. Maybe it's these new glasses or just the accumulated effect of not wearing prescription lenses but I am really starting to see better without glasses than with them. Once when I was walking after skating a few laps I could make out a guy in a red shirt that was about a half mile away from me, instead of seeing a big red moving blob. I've had clear flashes before but this was prolonged and even survived a few blinks. When I walk to work from the parking lot I don't wear my glasses and there's an overall increase in clarity that I'm noticing, like trees look a little brighter, I can make out signs a bit further away than I'm used to. The main thing though is the feeling in my eyes, they just feel different now. Probably the best way I can relate it is that they kind of feel like the feeling of wiping away the mucus that accumulates around your eyes after you wake up. The feeling when you go from a tight crusted substance to a freeing nothing, my eyes feel like that on a near-constant basis now. Personally I view the feeling as my ciliary muscles relaxing after being tense and stiff for many many years.
The odd thing is that even though I'm noticing improving vision without anything on my eyes, when I wear my glasses it seems my vision is getting worse. Even when I put on my correct -3.00 lenses a few things, I'm starting to notice, aren't as clear as they should. Could be that my prescription is getting worse, I don't know. I do remember though that when I first put my glasses on for the very first time, 15 years ago, that the ground seemed really curved, so curved I thought I would fall off of it. But after a short while I got used to this curvy feeling and the ground seemed straight again even with glasses on. I really wonder now if glasses distort your vision beyond just stressing your ciliary muscles. Glasses are more or less straight whereas your eyes are curved. Maybe contact lenses don't have this problem? Hmm, I don't know, just speculating. But seriously, I am seeing better with my naked eyes even as I'm beginning to see worse with glasses.
