One of my covid projects is improving my nearsightedness, I'm 20/200+. I've been spending 20 minutes a day doing techniques called Eqyptian Black Dot and Egyptian Letter Gazing plus other techniques I got from a book called The Art of Cosmic Vision by Mantak Chia, a well known Taiji master. I've been doing it now for 7 weeks and have noticed significant improvement in my vision. I'm not going to be driving without glasses any time soon, however, I am increasingly able to function without glasses, which was my main goal.

Your point about the outdoors is also made in the book. We are spending our time in near focus on screens and not using our far vision, as in nature. I now make sure to take time during the day to get outside and do distance gazing and expose my eyes to sunlight.

I printed out an eye chart and have consistent lighting in a room where I use it. My eyes have not improved in the past 5 years of doing exercises on and off.

I recommend printing an eye chart and testing yourself w/ the same lighting and distance from the chart.

Also, keep me updated please (if you remember to, post here or something), genuinely interested.

I am tempted to buy a huge screen and place it across the room from me to have the focus point further away.

I think part of the problem might be that it's focused on one place, rather than close focus. But I guess it's better to be focused further away.

I printed out an eye chart this week to do just that. I also purchased a device for testing and tracking my vision that I just started with: https://www.eyeque.com/visioncheck/ You can email me (davidwitt415 at gmail) if you want me to keep you updated on my progress.
