I'm thinking of the BATES method.

I think its finally working for me after two years, but i'm not sure, my glasses don't work so well.
But this morning, i looked at the window I can see the crystal pattern, it was sharp. (shortsighted)
the problem with eye tests is they test you're reading in the DARK, while the RTA, when you go to renew your drivers licence will test your eyes in a lighted room where we do most of reading.
i'm going for eye check soon.
i learnt the bates exercises from video from my library. but i'm not sure there's a site about it ... maybe youtube!

Thank you Robert for the additional details, it seems so simple. I think farsightedness is easier to recover their sight that shortsightedness

I did.
My dad went from trifocals to single again the Dr. was stund
He found a book in the 70's on excercising the eyes
one of the excerices was looking through some glasses with square holes this is sopposed to make your eyes look straight
The next is looking at something at a distance and focasing on it then looking at something close and focasing on that and at different things at diferent distances and focasing.
Eye rolls clockwise and counter clockwise.

I'm legally blind without my glasses. If I don't wear them for any extended amount of time, the strain that I put on my eyes is so great that I end up getting migranes so bad that I want to throw up. I'm beyond "exercising my eyes". I don't think the BATES method would work in every case.

no. the bates method is total crap. its been scientifically debunked repeatedly since its inception in the 1920's. its old, bad science:
