hey i hope everyone is doing good

(age 29)

my case is a little bit struggling i had pain around my eyes for about 9 years from now i dont have headache but just pain in my eye muscles, the pain start from the second that i open my eyes in the morning and it doesnt go away and i have photophobia. i am a hyperope i have +2 in my right eye (non dominant eye) and +1.25 in my left eye with a moderate astigmatisme, i did all the scans on my eyes my brain everything is normal (thank god) eye pressure is normal , no keratoconus, no uveitis, nothing, ii ve been living with this pain so long we never knew what was the cause , last year a doctor saw me and she did the pen push up thing and she found out that my right eye deviate away and i cant hold convergence (convergence insufficiency) any more and i had an exophoria of 12 for near objects. i did vision therapy with an orthoptist we did 10 sessions + exercices at home and at the end the convergence was good at its maximum yet the pain didnt go away no improvement and the exophoria become 8. this year and for the first time a doctor used a cycloplegic test and we fount out that i have a +4.75 in my right and +4 in my left so i thought this is the cause of all of my pain i was accommodating too much this may be the cause so when i tried the new prescription only +4 and +3.5 not full correction, it was really hard to adapt it was so strong even after one month the distance look blurry and pain was still there but like 95% of my photophobia went away. i saw the orthoptist lately and she evaluated my exophoria and she found out that it increased to 18 because plus lenses causes the eye to drift outward and if i kept adding more plus to get to my full correction my exophoria will increase and it may make my convergence harder one day.

when i cover one eye and i see with only one all the pain and photophobia disappear.

the exophoria is only at near, for far things i dont have it.

now i dont know what to do should i go with the full correction and wait until the vision becomes clear and see if the pain will disappear and what about my deviation will it increase

and thank youu all if you have anything to advice me with

I’ve been slacking off and just really trying to find the best thing thats low maintenance but is effective.

Also by the way, I try to use eye charts to monitor my progress but I can barely see anything because i have -7 and -5.75 in one eye so I cant even tell if Im improving which makes it less motivating.

Please give me some motivation especially if you were a high myope and saw improvements

Sorry for bad English

This is not a post to ask for help or a routine, i have my routine that i do everyday and i have been informed.

But recently, even if i do my routine, i kinda feel like i see worse with the glasses i used to wear when i started doing the routine.

I dont really know why, one of the things i could think of is that im 16 and maybe it can be something related with hormones and puberty. Maybe a mix of bad habits?

I am not totally discouraged to the point i Will stop doing the routine, but i kinda felt sad when i realised It.

I Will continue doing my routine, but i want to know why my eyesight has gone worse. The best way to improve/do something is by firstly understanding how It works, so i try to use that principle in most of the actions of my Life.

Any idea what It could be?

Thanks

When the power of the eyes increases, how do you know what it feels like? In myopia

I recently discovered Siddhi Shah (The Eye Yoga Centre) through a podcast interview where she talks about improving eyesight, getting rid of glasses, and treating eye issues naturally through eye yoga and naturopathy.
Out of curiosity, I reached out to inquire about her consultation fees and program details. I was completely shocked to hear that the charges are around ₹30,000.
From what I gather about the process:
The actual 1-on-1 direct interaction feels very limited.
The program is mostly conducted online via pre-set video exercises, PDF diet/nutrition plans, and periodic check-ins handled remotely or via assistant touchpoints.
₹30k feels wildly exorbitant for what essentially boils down to eye-stretching instructions, basic dietary suggestions, and generic progress tracking.
Before making any decision or calling it out entirely, I wanted to ask this community:

1. Has anyone here actually taken her program? Did you notice any measurable reduction in your power, or is it mostly short-term strain relief?
2. How was the actual consultation experience? Did you get proper personal time with her, or was it passed off to a team/automated setup?
3. Is it realistic to claim eye yoga can drop high refractive errors? Or is this just podcast marketing capitalizing on people desperate to throw away their glasses?
   Would love to hear honest reviews or alternative, reasonable experiences!

I just turned 18, and my vision suddenly feels worse in both eyes. My left eye was previously around -0.50 when I had it checked about a week ago, but over the past week, I've started feeling like my vision has gotten worse. It feels like it might now be around -1.00 or something and now my right eye feels slightly blurry too.

How can I stop this from getting worse, or is there any way to cure it naturally?

Iv had 20/20 vision my whole life but ever since I was a kid I can just blur my vision. I can decide how much I want to blur it and for how long and I never thought of it until now ( I’m 15 btw ). I thought maybe it’s genetically inherited but after asking my parents they can’t do it either and it really makes no sense on why I can do this. And my eyes don’t change at all when I’m doing this ( I asked my mom to check ) so you would never notice, and it doesn’t strain my eyes or anything. It’s so weird how I can just “do” it, like it’s just natural to me. Please help me out bro iv never wanted to baldy to find someone else that can do this too it’s almost giving me a feeling that I’m all alone like yk what I mean?

I have both myopia and astigmatism.

Right eye: -0.50 (-0.75) 105°

Left eye: -0.75 (-0.75) 75°

Can I completely correct my eyesight in my twenties?

Is this a good plan? For my daily habits: get enough sleep (8 hours), drink 2 liters of water, and avoid wearing my glasses for close-up work. Correct my head tilt and improve my daily posture. Blink every hour when I'm in front of a screen.

Do you think that, with a job where I spend most of the time in front of a screen, I can still improve and completely correct my eyesight? Is there any other advice you could give me?

Please tell me anything else I can do to improve my eyesight.

Honestly I don’t do doomscrolling..i have a lot to study in my laptop i m a tech guy so how can i protect my eyes from that?i can feel the strain of my eyes??

A little bit about me first: I write for a living, which means 10+ hours a day at a screen. Every evening my eyes feel like sandpaper and the only advice anywhere was "follow the 20-20-20 rule," which nobody actually does because there's nothing to look at.

So I built the thing to look at. Six exercises, 30sec, 60 sec, or 2 min each, a ball you track with your eyes across the full screen. Smooth pursuit, saccades, figure-8, and a 3D one where the ball flies from the horizon right up to your face so your focus has to shift near-to-far.

Runs in the browser, no signup, no download, free. Phone works too.

Built with Godot exported to web. Happy to answer anything about it. Working on building a VR version.

One thing I'd genuinely like opinions on: there are two visual styles, a clean one and a full retro arcade one. I couldn't decide, so I shipped both. Curious which one people actually pick.

PSA: Not a medical piece of advice, just something fun for your eye muscles.

Is there any way to keep our eyes healthy even though we look at screens every day? For me, I like playing games and drawing, and I'm sure I'll also be required to look at screens for work in the future. My prescription is -3.00 now, which isn't too bad... I guess. But is there a way to prevent it from getting worse, or could I even reduce it.

My friends always say that eye prescription can't be reduced, but I actually do believe that prescription can be cured, I just don't know how

Hi there, this past week i found myself accidentally fasting for maybe up to 20h straight. I noticed everytime It happened, my eyesight becam better and the differnece between no glasses and having them on was minimal. Then, when I ate and i broke the fast, my eyesight went to its normal state. Maybe its just something silly or im missing something here. If anyone has noticed anything similar please let me know!

I study above 7-8 hours each day from my phone , my rest is seeing yt, ig cause i don't have anything else to do . Atp, I feel my eyes face a lot of pain by the end of the day , what can I do to prevent this

I went on a week long vacation to the beach and did much less close up time so I expected my eyesight to improve but it got worse instead.
