I was a national level competitor for some time in a shooting sport discipline. You commonly engage targets anywhere from arms reach to 50 meters away and everything in between. It was time and accuracy focused. Fast and accurate wins. I read an article from an olympic shooter about eye exercises. You were doing some of them in your video. I always felt really good afterward. I felt the same after I would do a good long distance run, that exercise high you get. To me, it felt as if it did help, especially numerous quick transitions back and forth, near to far, etc. I would certainly appreciate your extrapolation of this. These days, I do these exercises at work every now and again. The eye strain from a computer feels greatly diminished. Thank you o/

Hey thanks! This brings up a very good topic that I have not covered on the channel. There is a niche in the eye care world called Sports Vision. Which is legit training that professional athletes will go through to train the eyes and coordination based on how you can see. I know of pro hockey teams, baseball teams and even boxers who go through this training. Many pro teams have their own eye doctors who work for them. Kinda nuts. Maybe I can get a doc who specializes in it to help me do a video.

The biggest myth that I heard was that if you make eye contact with any person wearing glasses, you would need to wear glasses after some time. In other words, the eye power would “transfer” from that bespectacled person to you, even if you stare only once or twice!

What really? I've never heard that before, sounds like some kind of superstition from a 100 years ago!

I used to have -1.00 (for far distance) but the past few months I would have headaches like crazy or even throw up. My dad would say things like "you are spending too much time on your phone" etc. Last month I figured out that even with the glasses I couldn't see the letters on tv which made me skeptical and I started asking the people next to me whether they can or cannot see sth that I couldn't see. Turns out it increased to -2.5 and I got new glasses. I decided to learn more about my eyes and how to use my glasses properly etc. Even though english is not my 1st language your channel is extremely helpful and you pronounce the words so clearly that its easy for me to understand. I actually hope to see a video on how to clean the skeleton of the glasses (the corners etc aside from the lenses) in case you know how to do that and can do that. :))

This video was really helpful. Thank you for sharing. I had an experience with eye yoga and it didn't save me from glasses. I must say however that since I started using glasses my eyes got lazier and don't focus as fast as they used to when I first started using glasses. I decided to wear them only when it's absolutely necessary.

Hi doctor. I think all ur videos r educative

Thank you. That was great. I'm 54, wear glasses yet have good eyes. It's not as sharp as it once was. So I'm happy knowing I'm doing well where I am.

I still get patients that tell me they've been told they can't wear contacts because they have astigmatism. It must be older doctors telling them that...

Yes I had eye glasses. One for close up views, which for astigmatism, I had and other glasses for long view distancing. Over 20 years, my other long distance glasses fell apart. So I stuck to using the close up close glasses. Soon this exercised my eyes, and thus these glasses worked for both close up view, and long distance. Eventually these plastic glasses too also plastic frames fell apart. So I replaced the frames for $19.99. I bought two frames, just is case. I fell asleep and crushed the gasses when waking up and accidentally stepping on them, and they were damaged. The lenses and the metal parts were okay, so I removed four screws to remove the plastic parts and replaced them with the new $19.99 ones. So over 44 years, it only cost me $19.99 x2.

Hello, just came across your helpful videos. I do have a question regarding whats the best material for glasses with high prescriptions like in the +5, +6 that would make them the thinnest possible.

In old cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions, several layers of shielding worked together to block most of the X-rays emitted from the tube before they could reach the viewer. However, while these shielding measures were effective in significantly reducing X-ray exposure, they didn't eliminate it entirely. Studies from the era suggest that even with proper shielding, some low-level X-ray leakage could still occur, especially at very close viewing distances.

Basically the X-rays that may be emitted by CRTs are hundreds of times less than the background radiation in the environment. So the idea that CRTs will cause radiation poisoning or cancer is ridiculous.

I just got new glasses and this video helps with me being comfortable, thank you. Just thought of this. Do you know if Snowblindness can have a long term negative effect on vision? As I understood it it can cause blindness for a few days but it goes away.

I have used minus lens -1.5 on both eyes (myopia glasses) for over 25 years; stopped using minus and started using plus lens (reading glasses); and now my eyes are fixed, no more myopia; reading DR saying this is impossible piss me off... Minus lenses can induce more myopia; in fact, there are even lenses that are weaker on the side to induce lens myopia in children... There are many studies in animals where putting on a minus lens causes myopia, and removing the minus lens makes the eyes go back to normal. It's pretty clear what the stimulus minus has in the eyes... and the doctor is 100% sure that glasses (minus lenses) don't make myopia worse?! This makes me sad... The brain washing is so strong that even Dr. doesn't understand what minus does to the eyes...

​@@FD-ub4vl Eyes lengthen to adapt to a lot of near vision work such as being indoors and being in front of screens all the time. It's called Axial Length. When doing only distant vision the eyes automatically shrink back to their normal rounder shape, it's a very minimal difference. When wearing glasses there is no need for the eyeballs to go back to normal.

Yes I do have a question. Similar to one on the video, but reversed: would people with very low levels of astigmatism (e.g. CYL One other question: is it really possible to measure astigmatism manually at home, without going to an optometrist/optician? I've seen some methods online rotating small lines drawn in a 90º angle. I can confirm I can easily verify that my Axis is ok for my eye with higher astigmatism (CYL -1.50) but for small astigmatism levels (e.g. CYL -0.25) it seems to me both the Axis, and specially the Cyl value even for the higher CYL eye are incredibly difficutl if not impossible to even get close to or in any reliable enough ballpark, by trying by myself with such diy methods at home.

Very close computer screen distance forces the eyes to focus at the near point of convergence. This sustained stare puts stress on the vision system. Over time, it may reduce the eyes' ability to quickly change focus between near and far objects. The extent of long-term impact on the eyes' focusing ability from regular computer use is still an area of ongoing research. Additionally, while the evidence is less conclusive, some studies suggest blue light might affect the ciliary muscle's function, potentially contributing to fatigue and difficulty focusing.

Your response will be greatly appreciated, thanks

I had lasik 20 years ago. And a few years ago I got glasses again. I could see 20/20 without glasses, but 20/15 with glasses, I wore them simply when at the computer. I could see fine without glasses, but see better with glasses. My vision slightly worsened and I went to get a new prescription and new glasses. My new prescription hurt my eyes, at first but I still only wore them at the computer. Now, a month later, I simply can not see anything without glasses that 1 month ago I could still see. Road and business signs are now unrecognizable. That isn't a distorted memory of simply "not seeing as well without glasses" it's a blurry fact that my eyesight has drastically shifted for the worse over the last month.

Could you please make a video about syntonic light vision therapy? Kindest Regards

I have a question about reversal of an ICL surgery, or ICL removal. I am 20 years old. I had an ICL surgery 4 months ago, however my pupil is too large and it would dilate over the optical zone in very dark environments, and I don’t like that at all. Furthermore I had -2.5 diopter of astigmatism but the toric lenses has rotated by 12 degrees, and it lead to a -1.5 diopter of residual astigmatism in one eye. Some doctor recommend me to do an ICL rotation procedure. But I am not sure whether it is worth it, because I am also considering remove the lens. I don’t have any complications by far, no dry eye, no elevated pressure, endothelial cell count looks good and so on. Do you think I should try the rotation procedure anyway despite the dissatisfaction of halos.? How risky is the removal procedure and if it was done uneventfully, and could my eye health and best correctable visual acuity go back to the state similar to pre surgery? Thank you!

I know it can seem that way, but the ciliary body inside the eye is a smooth muscle and does not change tone with use/exercise. The powers of the eye are more likely to become nearsighted during the first 25 years of life and then after that, there is a trend to become more farsighted and lose your ability to see up close - this shift in the later years of life occur due to crystalline lens changes inside the eye.

My neighbour of a similar age was prescribed glasses decades ago, but went the exercise route, and has never worn glasses since.

That said I must state weaker prescriptions have apparently improve my myopia by 3.5 diopters and even helped to some extent with accommodation. Meaning I only need bifocals not trifocals. And yes this may only dismissed as eye lense aging but the effect is also driven by lense choice . Further, I hate plastic lenses and wish for the tempered glass lenses on my early adult years & prior. I started as very myopic and still am quite myopic. I believe myopia is driven by early reading, lack of UV-b (full sunlight) and carbohydrate rich diet. There clear research on the close work issue and the preservation of distance vision per the US Air Force.

I'm confused if should opt for it. I'm 77 yrs old female. Thanks

Hey! it is a tough decision for sure, hopefully this recorded livestream will help you better understand your options : kzread.infoY7LYIEtfW5Y

Every once in a while I can "see" my pulse in my eyes. My optomotrist thinks I'm a little crazy, but it's there. Have you ever experienced this? Is it something to be concerned about? It's hard to describe, but there is pressure with just a slight change in focus for every beat. Never lasts more than half a minute. Thanks

Eye exercises CAN and DID improve mine and my husband's eyesight. My husband has been doing the exercises and has steadily decreased his lenses strength as time went on. When I went for my eye exam in November of 2023, the eye doctor asked me if I was wearing contact lenses. I said "no" and he was so surprised as my eyesight IMPROVED 50%. I'm 56 years old and never needed reading glasses. I've only been having nearsightedness and now I have a very weak prescription. My goal is to no longer need glasses next year. My eyes USED TO be so bad that I couldn't even see the largest top letter on the eye chart and now I have a super weak prescription. My eye doctor asked me what I've been doing and I told him about the eye exercises and I've told him that eye doctors on KZread said these exercises cannot improve vision. My eye doctor's words were "Eye exercises DO WORK as long as there aren't any other issues with the eyes." I rest my case.

I know im commenting on a 3 month old video and hope to get a reply. "Does your eye power change or worsen if you don't wear/use your prescription glasses for a long time (2-6hrs) especially outdoors". Cause ive been told that its not a good thing to use your eyes without my glasses, so i only remove them while sleeping or using the bathroom. My current power is close to -4 in both and i hope to get a reply from you, i really wanna know if this is a fact or myth.

Hey thanks for the question! There are studies that show if someone is nearsighted and refrains from wearing correction, they tend to advance in their myopia faster (studies on young children). Usually the eyes stop or at least slow in their growth in your early 20s. In most adults, once the eye has stopped growing, not wearing correction for 2-6 hours per day may not increase the eyes power or “make them worse”, but obviously they wouldn’t see as well in the distance without the correction. Hope that helps!

@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks a lot for answering my questions and that too so fast you are amazing.

What about wearing multi focus reading glasses to be able to see your close work jobs and you wear them all the time because you just see better. I can even drive in those. It’s crazy.

The blue light one really annoys me cause I be seeing so many people talking about it everywhere and can't do anything to change their minds 😔💔

there might be something wrong about the assumption of Eyes exercises. There is in fact some exercises that existe after someone got a stroke / CVA. those exercises are meant for the brain to recognise patern not for the eye to heal.

Yes..I also heard about that! It's a good thing to know! I saw a video where Elon Musk showed us the eye exercises he does to stimulate the frontal part of his brain he calls his Creative Brain! So there is definitely something to gain through Eye Exercises! Have a great week glitchydust..😊..🇨🇦

Yes

Incredible to say that glasses dont make your eyesight worse, where as you obviously know that overprescription happened and still happens a lot, and overprescription for myopia for example forces the eye to "elongate" more and more thus causing a stronger myopia. I agree that perfectly adjusted glasses wont necesseraly make your eyes worse (it wont make them better neither because you need your eyes to work a little bit) but overprescription (which was a common thing 10 years ago) can absolutely destroy your vision.

Are 90 degree glasses (aka lazy glasses) bad for your eyes? What if you wore them over regular prescription glasses for myopia?

Yes glasses make your vision worse. Why do you think it gets worse in the first place? Ciliary spasm is why people go to optometrist. Eye glasses make your eyes elongated overtime. Endmyopia method works, I know because I fixed my vision (20/20 now). Endmyopia videos are free, so no need to pay anything 👍

What about the use of sun glasses, I only wear mine if I am driving into the sunrise or sunset and when I'm in high glare situations. I heard that the sunlight is good for your as long as you don't stare at it which you mentioned.

For me, I use them as the sun can shine so strong it reflects off surfaces such as the pavement. It causes my eyes to squint hard. I can't relax my eyes at all unless I'm staring in the opposite direction of where the sun is shining, which is annoying and not always possible. Sun glasses allow my eye to relax under what would normally be strong glares. That said, I have prescription lenses but no prescription sunglasses until yesterday. Normally I would have to wear my sunglasses on top of my prescription glasses. Mad uncomfortable I tell you, and you look silly. So I opt to bear the eye strain instead of wearing sunglasses. With the prescription lenses in my new pair of sunglasses, now I get to have the best of both worlds! The sun definitely offers healthy benefits, such as Vitamin D. No need to stare at it to receive it. Just exposing yourself to the sun is enough, though wear sunscreen if it is especially hot.
