They say that glasses are meant to help correct your vision; that's a lie. My eyes have become so dependant on something else doing their job for them that I can no longer see anything past 10ft. Everything is a blur. Forget large print -- that's just normal size for me! 🥴
On top of this, I have come to learn in recent years that, as opposed to a lazy eye, I have a dominant one 👁 One of my eyes does the majority of the seeing while my other eye continues to deteriorate from lack of use. I have been trying so hard to train my eyes to see again, but it's going to take many years. I wish that I had never started wearing glasses to begin with...
I have identified two signs in distinguishing a dominant eye. The first, and easiest sign... one eye will be bigger than the other. My dominant eye is my left one; guess which eye is bigger? LOL 😏 You'll see this phenomenon with a lot of people; my husband's right eye is bigger (he has never needed glasses). An obvious sign of one eye taking the lead, while the other fades into the background.
The second sign: which eye do you instinctively open when it can only be one? Again, my left eye takes control each time. Some people can open one eye after the other in sequence, in rapid succession. Me? it takes conscientious thought and effort to open my right eye. And when it IS only my right eye? my GOD are things a blur!! 🥺
So, as I said, this will require a lot of training to fix, none of which requires glasses. In fact, the best thing I can do is to go glasses-free (albeit, I'm a bit terrified that I will be hit by a car 😅). The second is stretching/yoga; I can literally feel my vision improve or become strained based on the pose I am in. The third is vitamins and veggies: improving my eye sight through the food that I intake.
The fourth, and the one that I am least sure about, is "sun gazing." Sun gazing involves looking near the sun (never AT the sun) for repeated intervals of time, about a minute each. The best time to do it is during sunrise or sunset, when the sun's rays are the most powerful. The idea is the vitamin D from the sun will reverse the damage.
I saw a video about it: middle-aged man wearing glasses the majority of his life. He said that he began sun gazing every day for about half an hour, and within several months, he noticed his vision improving. He is now at the point where he doesn't need to wear glasses anymore.
