RE: Natural Myopia Correction Progress.
Myopia? Yes it's short sightedness. Hyperopia is long sighted. Usually those who need glasses later in life are getting long sighted. Something to do with the hardening of the lens, I think. I reckon our parents' generation spent less time doing close up things than we did. Mine were both fine until they got older, too.
My sister's eyesight is fine, so I'm guessing I'm the one who got the dodgy eye genes. So yes, for us, too much close up work will always put us at risk of deteriorating. This active focus seems to be the key to improving. Just wearing weaker glasses or not wearing them at all won't help if you don't actually work to try and clear the blur. Also limiting close up work, which I'm not doing very well at. 😩
Oh trust me I worked hard to clear the blur in childhood, absolutely did not want to wear glasses. Didn't help at all XD
I was also on screens a lot less in childhood than I am now. Back then I'd do my homework, maybe jump on for a bit to game or write while waiting for my parents to get home, then I was off riding my bike til it was time to come home and have a shower before dinner.
Now I just live here XD
I didn't even need glasses until they told me to start wearing them. I also refused to wear them most of the time, but I realise, looking back, that when I did wear them, it was for seeing the blackboard, but then I'd look down at my book for writing in, at which point I shouldn't have been using glasses. That seems to be the fatal mistake, because you then end up readjusting even closer and your eyes deteriorate even more.
I think everyone is different, though. I didn't start having to wear my glasses permanently until I was in my late teens. At that point I was riding a motorcycle, so I had to have them on more. I never wore them for riding my pushbike all those years before though. 😆
