Spouting the "stronger glasses actually improve your natural vision not worsen it" mantra is the tongue map of optometrists.
We all knew it was bullshit when we were children but the adult zombies still mindlessly pushed it.

Well we have proof from animal studies that bright light, namely sunlight, is protective against myopia, and can prevent lens-induced myopia.

Wear myopia glasses -0.25 your recommanded prescription with some exercices till it fixes itself.

Well there's definitely a genetic component as well. Some people have awful habits and no issues, others need perfect habits just to keep decent vision.

Isn't this from the study that correlated lack of natural sunlight during childhood with eyeball abnormalities in adulthood? Since children in those countries are more likely to be kept indoors and not outside playing.

I was literally just thinking about doing my eye exercises again (as detailed in the video >>12762333
said) then a thread pops up begging the discussion of whether or not it works. Time to get back on it, lads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Efg42-Qn0

There is zero evidence that wearing corrective lenses makes your eyesight worse.

I wonder if myopia causes macular degeneration faster than normal eyes, since the eye is stretching the ILM around the Macula possibly moreso than a normal shaped eye

>> No.12765826

Can you just have a new lens put in to focus the light at a different spot? Or would that mess up your vision?

Yeah. LASIK is awesome. Look up dr Neil wills.

Is there any studies on how to prevent myopia in children. His mothers eyes are good but mine are -7.5 myopia which kept me from any job i wanted growing up.

Can it be prevented.

I strongly suspect there is a nutrient deficiency that prevents emmetropization, and now I have a good candidate for what the missing nutrient is.

>> No.12766182

>>12762244
yes, it's called orthokeratological lenses

squinting works by forming a pinhole so only roughly straight rays of light get into the eye, so there are less heavily divergent rays, the latter producing blurriness

This works because bright blue light produces dopamine in the retina, they gave chickens dopamine blockers and it caused myopia

Do you have any working theories as to how to supplement for good eyesight?

Yes. But it isn't any nutrient or supplement you could buy, as it isn't known to be essential, not for people.
