Vision improvement eye patch method
Has anyone used this method to success? Endmymyopia reduced lens method is slow as FUCK and extremely difficult when already at -1.00 diopter and bates method is shit.
that whole thread was gold mine, i wish more was saved tbh.
yes ive tried and it works wonderfully ive made very significant changes within weeks.
can you give detail on your experience? What was your starting perscription when you started doing it and what did you end up at?
I've only tried doing it for a single day here and there when I get a work from home day, it definitely seems like it is better when the other eye switches in getting new light, but fades relatively quickly for just 30 minutes.
I'm at -1.0 in both eyes
Is this a meme? Asking for someone with strabismus
Well, taking off my glasses for most of my day basically made my headaches go away, and if you have myopia you'll notice how you don't actually need glasses as much as you think.
Cunt I was referring to the image, the Brock string
i had a slight lazy eye. most people do now from smart phone usage.
i did the eye patch method for a week and saw quick improvements in my eye. they both look straight rather than one to the side.
my gf has myopia and i told her about this a few years ago. eye training exercises. she doesn't care. rather go to a gnomish eye doctor for rest of her life. or pay thousands for lasik. lmao.
i've been doing eyepatch training, focus training (look at something 100ft+ away. then 1ft away) and eye muscle training (look up/down/left/right/circles) every now and then just to lessen degeneration associated with age.
I have a slight lazy eye too. For eye patch method you just patch your good eye, correct? Also how often and for how long? Do you do any eye training during or just go about your day? Is there a guide to this somewhere?
read the OP image you blind retard
it's pretty vague and was written by someone who has general bad eyesight, not lazy eye. I'm asking for specifics for lazy eye. maybe it's the exact same method
https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/Vision_training
Search EM wiki, it has basically 90% of answers to most questions
I was checking around the EM wiki and discord, I've seen that eyepatching helps levelling both your eyes and Active Focus is the actual way to go (https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/Patching), but there are people who got gains from patching(https://endmyopia.org/william-patching-eyes-5-00-to-3-00-progress-report/). Overall just do what you want, I'm -1.5 -1.75 and just took my glasses for most of my days without doing AF or any of these techniques and I'm feeling great
I genuinely can't figure out if I'm active focusing, been trying for months and haven't had any improvement. Just feels like I blur my vision and it goes right back to adjusting to the same shitty -1.0 diopter after bluring.
I heard Myopia Is Mental (the free guide) helps finding Active Focus, though just be warned that both Myopia Is Mental and EndMyopia are two different programs and communities, you can learn different things from both sides tho.
Some redditfags went too far with fucking their eyes that some got retinal displacement (like 3 of them), which is LITERALLY the only cases ever registered of it kek
We should make /tmd/ (total myopia death), would be cool.
>retinal displacement
from using eyepatches to improve their vision? Genuinely asking i've been thinking of trying this method but now you gave me some doubts
He's a troll. People who only have 1 eye doesn't have issues with their one healthy retina, so why would you get it from using an eyepad few times a day.
aight, thanks bro, also thank God I found this thread since I didn't know about EndMyopia
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit misleading, typing on the phone while doing other stuff makes me lose some words
Nothing, it was just a warning since redditorfags knows no boundaries and only happened at a closed scenario, eyepatching for 30-45 min won't kill your eyes at all.
No worries mate, i was a bit too quick on the troll allegation aswell. I appreciate the warning.
ok because i'm patching now. Gonna try and go 2 weeks of patching every hour. hopefully it will help push me to 2020, because reduced lens has been a snails pace barely improving over 7 months (but again, I don't even know if I'm active focusing) while wearing 0.25 pushers while in front of my computer.
We don't actually know how they fucked that up that much, but most suHispanicions leads to the community thinking they either tensing their eyes so much for months without relaxing or they were dropping diopters per normalized (which is a bad idea if you are using this glasses normalized-techniques), here's the actual text of someone who was doing EM for some time and ran for tests:
"As you can imagine I’m asking the opto loads of suHispaniciously detailed questions. Here are the results:
Absolutely nothing to be concerned about
No retinal tears
No lattice degeneration
Nothing except… apparently the back of my retina is white but becomes uniquely pigmented to a reddish colour around the periphery. This effect is stronger in my right eye than left. My right is traditionally the problem eye, my left is usually ready to reduce while my right is the bottleneck if anything.
He says he does 5 of these appointments a day, obviously he’s done this for ages and even his more experience colleague checked me out all over again. He said he’s never seen this before, but there’s no actual reasons to be concerned.
How interesting
Anyway. I’m curious if reducing too quickly or straining your eyes to death can cause lattice degeneration or tears etc. The guys in the reddit thread above don’t strike me as super good at looking after their eyes. I wouldn’t be surprised if in reality they dropped a whole diopter and were tensing their eyes to death for months. Idk if that makes a difference."
Hearing people tell me what I was doing or the things I say are crazy became so normal since some time ago, and I'm not even talking about only myopia info, boarding this site and activrlly searching for books and information has been such a lifechanging
I'm not familiar with myopiaismental.
Also I'm done for a /tmd/, but what is wrong with doing 30-60 minute patching?
I just started patching last week. Trying to correct -1.5 diopters in my left eye, and a droopy eyelid. I had my optometrist friend measure my prescription and tell me I was crazy.
I think I discovered "active focus" on my own. After a few rounds of 30 minute patching over right eye, I noticed that my left eye is literally "lazy" - it just doesn't try to focus. If I manually force it to focus I can do it for short periods of time and things become crystal clear, but by default things are a little blurry.
Imagine jeopardizing your vision because you took advice from IST
do tell how it'll jeopardize your vision
No
I didn't want you to anyway
Dont care didnt ask
Is it worth improving my eyesight if I have 20/25 vision?
everyone is talking about myopia but will this help with hyperopia? i had a lazy eye as well as a kid but never got it fully corrected with the patch, it doesn’t really look like a lazy eye anymore, like it doesn’t stray off to the side, but the eye is so fucked that i cant even read smaller text with my contacts in or glasses on with that eye. my prescription is +7.50 in both eyes
