Eye Update

I’m continuing my eye exercises every second or third day so do it about 3 times a week – usually in the morning light.  I’m sure I would get better results during the middle of the day but I don’t have the right facilities to do it at lunch time.

These would now be my chart lenses which would help me with locking in the improvements and my night vision. So I tested my eyes on the chart and at a distance of 3 metres in good lighting the results were as follows: Naked eye Line 1 but blurry! With -2.75 glasses Line 6 but blurry. Strangely I can almost in my periphery see up to line 8 but it is very elusive. Even Line 6 is blurry but I can make out the letters which is what I use as my gauge. I then did the distance drill first with my left eye and then my right eye with the old lenses for 1.5 mins each eye. It is a lovely day outside although quite hot! I cracked open the new grey lenses for the chart drill and put both of these on and pro
