    A very timely post for me, Leigh-Anne. I have a similar condition as you, only it’s my right eye (which most of my life has been the stronger) that’s blurry – no matter how close or far I hold the book. It doesn’t focus properly while reading elsewise, like a screen or book.

    Been using the AquaCure goggles for a couple weeks, also the protocol from my Acupressure for the Eyes workshop, castor oil on eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows for a week or two. So far no discernable improvement, but it may be way too soon.

    How long did it take you to “see” a benefit, using what method(s)?

      Oh wow, thanks Hulda for chiming in. I’m glad you have these tools, and I’ll look into them as well – I have just started with the urine therapy drops (only on day three), this is all new for me and I just posted in Yerasimos’s group at the beginning of this week.

      It’ll take some time for me to go through all of the resources and decide what I want to add; I’ll keep you posted in this thread.

      Your mention of the castor oil reminded me that one of the women recommended mixing castor oil and pearl powder and using that over the eyelids. She recommends using a thick layer and sleeping with it on.

      That reminded me of Sun Potion’s pearl powder I used last year for a bit (I used to add to smoothies) so may purchase some of that again to try this way.

    Hi! There was a great discussion on this same topic in this same group that was started back in February by Elin, called “Bates Method for Eye Health”. Not that you need more tips than what you’ve got from your other group, but I just thought I’d let you know about that discussion thread, too. You’ll love it!

    Since you (and Hulda) have one eye acting up, you might try some of the eye-patching techniques that are out there. Dr. Roberto Kaplan has some good patching practices, as does Jake Steiner. I’m sure others do too. Just a thought!

    I had also tried urine eye drops & also DMSO/urine drops, but my eyes started aching after a week or two into it, so I paused on that.

    I’ve gotten my Rx reduced from about -4 diopters to about -2.75, but I have been at this for 20 years, so it’s been slow going for me. You can increase your eyesight faster, I’m sure. My key points are sungazing, light sensitivity improvement, wearing a reduced Rx (or no Rx), distance seeing and varying your vision, and osteooathic body work (or the best alternative). The only one of these I’ve done daily for 20 yrs is the reduced Rx glasses. What I feel has the most potential for fast improvement is adapting the eyes to taking in more quality light. Dr. Bates has a technique that I’d like to try with guidance.

    Thanks for sharing your links, too. They look great!

      Thanks for the reminder on the prior Bates discussion, Todd. Meir Schneider (born in Poland, has had a self-healing center in San Francisco for many years) improved his congenital functional blindness using Bates’ method(s) and some of his own. He now has an unrestricted California driver’s license (not that I’m promoting driver’s licenses LOL) – no glasses required. He sez the more one wears glasses, the weaker the eyes. Haven’t we all noticed that? He also promotes using an eye patch over the stronger eye. Been trying it off n on for a few weeks, but my formerly stronger eye is so week that I can barely read anything with it. 🙁

      Regarding my Acupressure for the Eyes protocol, after using it consistently for a couple of weeks a few years ago, my floaters noticeably diminished. They’ve returned in full force – haven’t kept up the self-treatment. But I’m back at it now! If there’s interest, perhaps I could do a Zoom of it, though it’s really a hands-on workshop. I shared it with one or two folks at Music & Sky.

      Thanks so much Todd, I’ll definitely check the other thread. And I appreciate you sharing about the patching and what you’ve tried 🙏 Lots more wisdom for me to dive into.

      It’s interesting about your experience with the urine drops; it definitely stings when I put them in and I’m kind of on the fence about whether to continue. In The Golden Fountain by van der Kroon he advises urine therapy with a vegetarian diet, refraining from meat and dairy (as it makes the urine acidic which is not helpful to ingest). I am not vegetarian so need to do more research here, will probably ask this q in the urine therapy thread.

    Hi Hulda and Leigh-Anne. You could look into the Bates method for seeing at any age without glasses. There are many techniques founded by Dr. Bates and carried on by Esther Joy van der Werf in her two books “Optimal Eyesight” and “Read without glasses at any Age”. I just bought one of her books and printed out her eyesight charts to use as a base line. I am finding not using my glasses to be the most challenging thing because i need them to read the book. I purchased the glasses with hex holes in them to read with. It is slow going but i am getting used to it.

      Thanks so much illia, looking forward to checking this out. And a good reminder to check my vision now before trying anything so I can gauge progress.

    I love Esther Joy! After meeting her through another support group almost 10 yrs ago when my son was born prematurely and my wife hospitalized with preeclampsia, I took one of her eyesight improvement classes, and loved it.

    And, Meir has an amazing story, too! A friend of mine was excited to tell me about him a couple years ago.

    That reminds me of a documentary film called, “Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible”, by Caroline Cory. One section in the film shows some children and blind people learning to see with blindfolds on. It’s amazing! I was so inspired that I took Caroline’s course to see if I could do it, too, but I never figured it out, and I haven’t kept up the practice. There were a handful of classmates that started seeing through the blindfolds, though. So cool!

    So, now I see that there’s two types of eyesight improvement: one where the optometrist’s instruments agree with the amount of clarity you’re seeing, and one where they don’t. Jacob Liberman says that he experienced perfect eyesight after being in a deep meditation. His optometry instruments still told him that he was nearsighted, though. … On the other hand, people like Jake Steiner have reversed axial elongation of their physical eyeballs, and so the instrumentation will match what their seeing on the eye chart. … It’s interesting! … It’s almost like one way improves your “eyesight”, and the other way improves your “vision”. As Roberto Kaplan taught me, 90% of vision happens in your mind, and only 10% from your eyes … There’s also traditional osteopaths and an Alexander Technique guy (Peter Grunwald), that have helped people get clear eyesight again focusing on the whole body. When the body unwinds, then eyesight/vision can improve. I wonder which boat this technique falls into? I started trying out an osteopathic eyeglass Rx almost 2 yrs ago, but I haven’t seen any improvement yet.

    Oh, and my eyes stung with the urine/DMSO drops, too. The sting goes away fairly quickly. The ache I was experiencing was a whole other feeling that felt more in the back of the eye if I remember right. I may try it again sometime soon.

    Thanks! Good luck!

        Oh, and thanks for bringing up that a vegetarian diet is recommended with urine therapy. I have that book too, and that part caught my attention. I’m not vegetarian, but I’ve gone ahead with urine therapy anyway, just to see. I practice Biogeometry measuring techniques, and often my urine tests show me my urine isn’t needed to ingest (or, it doesn’t increase my personal wavelength or BG3). But, sometimes it does. … Something to ask in the urine therapy group, for sure. Thanks, Leigh-Anne!

          That’s super cool Todd, can you share more about these Biogeometry techniques? Would love to know how to do that.

            Oh, yeah, I love using BG quality measurements. I definitely recommend it. I’ll try sending you a private message…

    All great links! Sounds crazy, but in terms of urine therapy, you could try adding your morning urine to swimming goggles and wearing those for 30 mins a day. I know of a gal who did that and healed her glaucoma in a month…may help with the blurred vision.

      That’s such an awesome image just thinking about what that would be like. I love it!!! Lol! I’ll definitely keep that technique in my back pocket for when in need. Let us know, please, Leigh-Ann, when you try it and whether the initial sting of urine in the eyes fades away or if the sting lasts the entire 30 minutes.
