How Long Does Vision Correction With Eye Exercises Take?
October 28th, 2008
Although this is the “how long is a peace of string”-type of question, since I have some experience with improving eyesight naturally, I will attempt to answer this question. It sure is a burning question that is amongst the first to come to the mind of people who’ve decided that they don’t need glasses for their vision anymore. It is also one that can only be answered with the same precision that one may get when one tries to hit two targets with one bullet, i.e. it is almost impossible to do, unless things line up perfectly.
But ere are some factors that determine the time taken to restore eyesight… How old are you, and what condition do you have? If you are over 40 and you have Mucular Degeneration, teen you are different from someone who is in their twenties, and with a mare Myopia. Would you agree? And it is very difficult to find any sort of statistics on this, which would obviously help, since we could then juust take a bunch of people in the same group, and then average out the time it took them to cure their eyes. However,since this stuff is categorised as the “alternative medicine”, nothing official is published, or, if published, it is probably |unpublished” just as quickly because of the people in the industry. And , while Myopia (Shortsightedness) & Hyperopia (Longsightedness) are most common ones, there are numerous amounts of other conditions out there, such as Astigmatism, Presbyopia, Strabismus, Amblyopia (aka Lazy Eye), Age-Related Mucular Degeneration (ARMD), and so on. Eye exercises help cure all of these, but the time it takes to full eyesight restoration may differ to each one.
How well can you relax your eye muscles? All of the exercises are based around one thing, which is to relax yur eye muscles first. If you don’t relax your eye muscles, then it is highly unlikely that anything will change for you with regards to eyesight, if you only, mechanically, follow eye exercises. You see, bad eyesight is caused by tensed eye muscles, that alter the shape fo the eyeball, thus creating the problem of imperfect vision. So this is quite important to grasp, and the speed of your progress with your sight will heavily depend upon your ability to relax your eye muscles. And it’s not easy at the start, and so that’s why you’ll need guidance on not only the relaxation techniques alone, but, preferably, guidance with doing them in the most efficient way, so that you get your eyes into shape in the shortest time possible.
Another thing is,your level of concentration that is important here. In life, if you want to master something, anything, be it playing your favourite video game, your martial art’s hobby, or your money-bringing profession, you need to devote your full attention to this task. How well you do this will determine your level of mastery, as well as your progression speed. And since we, as humans, are lazy, in general, this needs understanding, and work. Lot’s of work, for some…
At the end of the day, what you can do to increase the speed of your eyesight improvement depends on what you know, which comes to what guide you follow, i.e. how well it gets though to you everything needed to succeed. From my personal experience, it took me over two months to restore my near -5 eyesight, and I am very happy with that. I think the time that I spend on my eyesight as well as self-healing during the 2-3 months period, is one of the best ways I could have spent my time, period. Another peace of statistics I know is that in Russia, I know of one place, it’s called the “Institute of a Human Being” (a rough translation…), where they study self-healing and a load of other interesting stuff… And in their experience, they see people that restore eyesight with the speed of a dioptre per week. And, apparently, it *can* be done faster than this, but not recommended, because “going too fast may actually slow you down”. And I believe them, and a diptre per week is fast enough for me… wouldn’t you agree? And it actually took me two times longer, i.e. a little less than a dioptre per week, or so. But do you think I am upset about that? :o) Seeing clearly without glasses or contact lenses is AMAZING, and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s still wearing these things, after knowing this!

Is it possible to use the exercises in order to protect our eyes, before we suffer from Astigmatism, Presbyopia, Strabismus, Amblyopia (aka Lazy Eye), or Age-Related Mucular Degeneration (ARMD)?
Gabrielle, exercising your eyes & allowing them to relax often will certainly prevent things like ARMD, lazy eye, and, of course, myopia/hyperopia, since roots for the causes of these problems lay largely in the tention of eye muscles. Astigmatism, Presbyopia & Amblyopia may have other causes than the usual muscular tention, thus you’d want to keep your eyes healthy in general, if you want to prevent these diseases.
However, please keep in mind that I’m not a doctor, so treat whatever I say as purely my personal opinion, not backed by any medical qualifications, whatsoever.
Hey this is some very nice info! I never knew it was even possible to make your eyes better with exercise, but now that you mention it.. why not! It works with most other body parts..
I am definitely going to give this a try.
I was praying how to avoid glasses for my Astigmatism. Now I feel there is natural way of avoid this eye defect.
Thank you for this wonderful blog, I started following with your and some more tips from others. Now, I am feeling slightly relieved in less than a week’s time.
congratulations on this site, andrei. this is nadya from your squidoo lens. i just found your page from google. anyway, i think it is quite correct that different people will experience different healing times. it’s not even singular to the issue of eyesight, but in all areas of medicine. definitely a person’s individual eye issues will play a role in how fast one can expect to fully regain their vision.
i had to stop the exercises for awhile because i was stuck at having no access to weaker contacts. but i am resuming the program now that i have finally gotten some back from europe. it feels good to be on the path to recovery again.
i have some personal theories about astigmatism, but they are based solely on my own experience, and i have no medical proof to back them up whatsoever. but in my case, i did not have astigmatism until 5 years ago. it is only in my left eye, which is my weaker eye. my theory is that as my vision became worse and worse, and i relied more on my right eye, the lense of my left eye has become misshaped due to lack of use. now that i am doing these exercises and using my left eye more, i notice a big improvement in the astigmatism. but overall improvement is probably going slower because of this extra issue.
i also think that my amblyopia (also in that horrible left eye) is slowing me down. from everything i have read, this is a neurological disorder, and not one that comes from eye strain. i was actually born with it, so there would have been no time for the eyes to become strained. however, since much of your advice is based on mental technique, i have hopes that perhaps i will see improvement in this area too.
time will tell! and i am fine with however long it takes to heal, be it a few months or a few years.
very great work. I really really appreciate your writings and guidance for people to recover natural eyesight. Its a great effort and I hope many of us will share our experience to help fellow human beings.. Great work
Great post! I am usually in front of the computer for quite a few hours in a day and I don’t want to further damage my eyesight. So when I discovered the there are certain eye exercises that can improve eyesight, I immediately considered this idea. With your post, i now have a better idea of how this works, and what to expect. Thanks!
