Apparently, you can fix your eyesight by employing the eye patch method and switching every 30 minutes. Been wearing glasses my whole life since I was a toddler. Gave it a try since my eyes are messed up at this point due to having lazy eye and cross eyed. Did this for 2 weeks but went a step further and ditching my glasses completely. One thing I notice is how extremely weak my eye muscles are and got massive eye strain but by the end of this weak, it's nearly gone.
Has anyone else gave the eye patch method a try and what was your experience so far?
This looks schizo as frick but I'm very curious to try it. Will report back in a week or two.
I've got awful nearsightedness and am useless as frick without my glasses too.
same here, I'm willing to invest a bit of time to try. I'll look out for your post and also report back
This is probably anecdotal and too soon to tell, but so far I've had my glasses off and one eye covered for 30 minutes while continuing to shitpost on here and when I put them back on, it felt like they corrected my vision slightly less than they normally do, as if my baseline was a little stronger.

Depends on what's wrong with your eyes. This isn't some /misc/ secret DA JOOZ are keeping from you, it's the literal standard treatment for amblyopia and several other conditions.
This was stupid the first time you shared it imagine what I think now
Yeah there some doubt about this but if you think it's BS, you're free to stick to wearing eye glasses for life. I'm 3 weeks in with the eye patch method.
are you measuring your vision somehow?
This from personal experience. I do this without glasses. Have eye exam tomorrow to see if the eye patch method any difference.
>Week 1: Constant eye strain and on/off blurriness. Never knew if I was near or far sighted since being cross-eyed and lazy eye.
>Week 2: Eye strain is less painful and blurriness isn't as common.
>Week 3: Realized my eye gains become moot if I wear glasses after doing the eyepatch method so I decided to ditch them altogether. Eye strain is nearly non existent and blurriness almost gone.
The eye strain seems to be the side effect right away. My take on this is that the eye muscles become dependent on glasses and puts it in a relaxed state. Like training wheels on a bike. When I took it a step further and stopped wearing glasses, I have to deal with constant headaches and eye strain, which made me realized how weak they are.
I guess glasses don't bother me enough to care.
at -7 in both eyes it's hard to do most things without glasses.
Let us know. Not sure I want to commit to doing this for a decade
Will report back on this. Still, should give it a try. I work remote so no one can see me looking like a pirate.
I tried it for a couple days but it's fricking annoying not being able to use my computer unless I put the screen 8in away from my face.
Or going out in the garage and having to get close to everything to see what it is.
productivity just goes into the shitter.
Maybe later I will get serious and do it.
you people will do everything but lift weights i fricking swear
Abandon eyeglasses and toothpaste for miswaks. Rebel against them brother.
And replace them with what?
If youre worried about the fluoride in toothpaste, it needs to be there. If you don't ingest it in water and use a pea sized amount it's irrelevant.
You can also buy fluoride free toothpaste but it's rare
Isn’t it interesting that the food we way more is so incredibly bad for our teeth that we need to apply a protective layer to them twice a day to stop them being corroded.
Really makes ya think huh
The optical israelite fears the pirate patch home lasik practitioners
inb4 some ISTcel blinds himself with a dvd drive's optical laser trying to perform lasik on himself.
would this help with astigmatism?
I was 20/10 before this shit, I want it back
My astigmatism affected eye varies widely in image clarity depending on the day so there must be something going on
I dont know. I had a really bad lazy eye growing up but once I started wearing glasses consistently it fixed itself around the time i was 15 or so. I mean try this shit if you want but I wouldn't suggest it.
2 things for eye health:
1. Candle gazing
2. Go crosseyed in the mirror and over lap your eyes in the middle. Hold focus on your middle eye for 5 min or so.
Elaborate
like a cross eye 3d?
same. I'll have some days where I wake up and it's worse than normal for a couple hours.
What if I don't use glasses? Can I use a weighted eyepatch to push my eyesight even further beyond 20/20?
Never trusted opticians.
Got given glasses from the opticians when I was 8 years old and absolutely despised wearing them, so I never wore them, went back 4 years later after never wearing my glasses, magically have 20/20 vision.
you were way ahead at that time, glasses have made my eyes weaker. I ditched them and notice my vision starting to improve.
hey bros. I try to post this in every eye thread I see. this dude came up with a method for actually reversing near-sightedness. there's hundreds of people who have already gotten amazing results. pic related, my results. the long stall is from the lockdown ending and me having to go back to dark classrooms. at the end of September I'll switch to my next pair of glasses which are -2 diopters. the guy who came up with it is a little cringey (think scooby), but the method works. https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/EndMyopia_Wiki

Post nose
I've been doing this for like a year now and have gone from 2,0 to 1,0 in one eye and 0,5 in the other.
I've been using plus lenses ranging from +1 to +2 (but really use the 2 and 1,75 now, the others are too weak). This works no question, I have bought +2,25 and +2,5 because the ones I have are weak already as well.
Having multiple glasses is great, I keep the weaker one on my PC desk with the screen sitting over 20" from my face, while the strong one I keep on my nightstand, to use it with my phone which I keep much closer from my face.
I got totally serious with this when I got the measurements from the doctor confirming the improvement, even though I noticed it.
I also bought the eyepatch, because both eyes were improving at different paces but it was a bit shitty to wear, like doing dumbell curls you curl less than half than with a barbell, but now I'll get back to it.
Bonus: I think the eye patch might fix the astigmatism, because I have a little in each eye, with different axes, with both eyes I see much clearer than even the "good" eye so I think one astigmatism kind of compensates the other (with some brain postprocessing). Eyepatch will deal with that.
Not sure if anyone here is far-sighted, but I am +5.25 and +5.75 with astigmatism in both eyes. Been wearing glasses since I was 8.
I ordered 2 pairs of glasses that are both underpowered and will be weaning myself off over time much like the people at endmyopia. The unfortunate thing is there's almost no info on hyperopia (farsightedness) so I will be figuring this out on my own. Same concepts should work though. I have a 20/20 chart to measure my progress
Just get slightly underpowered glasses from China or something to keep them cheap. I watched a whole talk on it, this guy went from -5 and -6 to 20/20 in like 3 years
this is a great shit post op reminds me of old 4chin screencaps, keep it up
