🤓 A little about my eyesight: 🤓
I have had glasses for astigmatism since I was 7 years old, but I only needed them for specific circumstances, like reading blackboards or night driving (not when I was 7, obviously).
At the age of 22 I landed an office job, and with my lovely new money I bought a smart phone. 6 months later, I had myopia (also known as short sightedness or near sightedness) and had to wear glasses full-time.
My prescription has been going up since then, and I have been freaking out as I sit back and watch my eyesight deteriorate, feeling helpless and scared.
I was up to -3 in my left eye, and -2.5 in my right eye when I discovered Jake Steiner and the EndMyopia method.
I am still only a few months in, but already I am seeing at almost -2.00 in my left eye -1.75 in my right eye. Small changes, but any improvement is amazing when my eyes have only been deteriorating for the last 10 years.
I am loving knowing more about eyesight and how eyes function. It's fascinating, and learning so much feels empowering. I love that I no longer feel helpless about my vision. I have also quit my smartphone so I could get over my screen addiction. I even bought a Nokia to get me out of temptation's way! Since doing this, I have been making progress with my vision, but also have regained so much of my life and time and perspective, so this vision journey is definitely having positive knock-on effects in my life as a whole.

👓 Using the reduced lens method, and need another pair of glasses?👓
Clearly are an online retailer, based in Australia - especially great for those of us based in Australia or NZ - and is available worldwide.
I use them for all my glasses in my EndMyopia journey, and they have been great.
I joined as an affiliate because I was already talking about them so much anyway. 😂 If you use this link to go to the Clearly website, it will help me out and cost you nothing more, so if you go this way, I thank you.

I had some rlly good habits last few days but i have into my screen addiction and watched some anime IN A DARK ROOM and my measurements went down again.. honestly you are such a good role model
I really need to be more mindful with this too! Being on a plateau is so frustrating :( ... Also, what beautiful colourful birds you have in Australia !😍

They are beautiful. This one is a rainbow lorikeet.
Could have not said it better :) Especially like the "(what you tell yourself) didn't count adds up" part. I many time see people with office jobs or students self-report only 8-10 hours of close-up... that's practically impossible to be true for the average modern person having smart phone and personal computer. This video should be part of the official Endmyopia guides :)

Exactly! We are so good at making excuses for ourselves. Facing our screen time is hard.
Hi Gem, For me, it is ZERO SCREEN TIME, because I wear a plus lens for all my near work. At 20/50, nothing for far. A +2 for all my close work. Yes, this is a life time commitment.
Yup. I started with managing screens better even though I was watching hours at night. I would take breaks and sit further back. I would look off to the side when I was fine just listening. Then I noticed after weeks of this I was sitting closer, not taking breaks, and not looking off to the side. I was doing these until I wasn't doing them at all. It's just easier to watch less or not watch at all at night than to keep up all the habits to get away with more screen time. If it's video that I am fine only listening to then I can actually get away with it. It's shows and other things that keep my gaze on the screens that I can't be doing much of.

All screen time - is too much!
Pretty much the first thing jake says on the Intro emails is less screen time more distance. I think most people find this difficult what with the lockdown restrictions and just winter if you live in the North. It's easy to over complicate things.

Is it better to have no screen time at all "I can do that but it's vary boring"or do you still have to have close up time for improvement?

is looking at the phone and doing homework the same? because i guess it has almost the same distance
@GemilyMez
2 жыл бұрын
Not exactly no. The difference with the phone is that it is very small, and you get sucked into the stuff on it, so you lose awareness of how close you are holding your phone and it creeps close and closer. As well as this, all the colours, sounds and notifications on phones are designed to be addictive. Homework is not. ;) Having said that, try to keep a good, comfortable distance for homework too. It may not be good for improving your vision, but if it needs doing, it needs doing, and it doesn't have to make eyesight worse if you are using differentials (or no glasses if your vision is good enough).
