I too have began to notice the variance of clarity throughout the day. At the end of an all-nighter (their frequency is dropping I proudly add), the tension through my neck and back is high. I need to get closer and closer to the screen to see, destroying my posture, which probably leads to psychological problems… but we won’t go there

When I’m refreshed after a swim at the beach, massage, or holiday, the world gets a little clearer. It’s a 2010 goal of mine to clearly see the beautiful world again.

The people I know who don’t wear their glasses often are the ones who don’t get stronger prescriptions. I think that’s no coincidence. Here’s to naked eyes.

My eyesight started to deteriorate noticeably in my late 40s – I’m 58 now – and I was inclined to believe there would be an age related gradual deterioration, but then I noticed that my eyesight would actually vary from day to day and seemed to improve naturally at times – sometimes quite dramatically – when I was particularly relaxed or I was refreshed by a good sleep. Then I read about the Bates Method. But to be honest I found the exercises boring and they dropped out of my daily routine over time, though I seem to have incorporated one or two anyway. I will take a look at the “five good eye exercises” you mention. Five I can probably handle. Thanks.

I wear glasses for driving now – anything more than ten feet away gets a bit blurry – but otherwise I allow my eyes to ‘go naked’ in the hope that will encourage them to do their job, so to speak, and that has me occasionally thinking about what I can do to help.

It’s probably no coincidence I was reading your blog post.

Looking forward to reading of your success!
