I couldn't believe that it really happened!

I improved my vision from 1.75 to 1.00.

It took nearly a year, but it happened. Without meds or surgeries.

The main culprit for the improvement was a pair of glasses, with tiny holes in the lenses.

I started with doing eye exercises (there are many options available online), which simply are: looking up, down, left, right, roll eyes, focus on something specific in the room, then shift focus to the entire room, and do it again and again.

I also wore these crazy glasses for 30 min a day while staying at home (never while driving or cutting onions, or hammering in nails or any other potentially injurious activity!).

Those glasses look so simplistic, so uncomplicated, made of plastic, that before I tried them on, I thought that this is an absurd idea, and surely it's not going to work. I nearly convinced myself with my own cynicism, that this thing is too simple to function as promised. After all, we're surrounded by technological inventions left and right, new gizmos appearing on the market faster than you can say ''next'', and the more complicated the design, the higher the the promises (and the prices) go. So those plastic glasses with holes looked like the antihero of the optical world.

And then I tried them on, and 10 minutes later, I could not believer my eyes - LITERALLY!!! I picked up a page with a few lines of text written on it. 20 min earlier I tried to read that text w/o glasses, and it looked like a blur, it looked like lines that someone smeared on that page, there were no letters that I could distinguish in those smeared lines. And now, after wearing those glasses, I could not only see rows of letter where there appeared smudged lined, not only could I see individual letters on those lines , but I could read those lines without missing a beat.

They are called 'pin hole' glasses, because the plastic lenses are punctured with rows and rows of tiny holes.

I'm sure there is some science of the anatomy of the optic nerves, the whole eyeball, and how the brain functions, behind the idea of those glasses. But I neither know, nor need to know how it all functions to bring out such remarkable results. I just know it works, and that's all that matters to me.

If you had a chance to improve your health in a simple way, would you do it? I did. But only after I stopped being cynical about it, because the ''means to that improvement'' looked ''too simplistic, and greatly defied my expectations of what such improvement would be (eye surgery was the only thing at that time that seemed logical to me in seeking the improvement of my vision).

I am an avid reader, I read about 50-60 books each year. Currently my reading glasses have the strength ''1.00''. My friends can hardly believe that my vision improved so much. They wear glasses with the strength of ''3.25'', which according to statistic is just right for their age bracket.

I strongly believe, that I'll be able to keep, or rater continue to lessen the strength of my reading glasses, with the help of daily eye exercises, and the pinhole glasses, combined.

After all before I started using pinhole glasses, I nearly convinced myself that this was just a gimmick. And now, with some proof that this really improves vision, I have the audacity to believe that I'll restore my vision back to perfection.

My next goal is to not to have to wear any glasses at all and have perfect vision.

I’m getting there!
