This is so on point. I’m farsighted and wear contacts to drive. However, I’ve always removed them once home b/c I cannot see up close with them on, and watching tv would give me a headache. So I concluded wearing glasses or contacts 24/7 cannot be good for eye muscles-they’d weaken-just like other body parts-atrophy! I always believed removing contacts helped my eye muscles-and it has! My eye doc wanted to give me reading glasses!!! Docs just pile on like with meds. Now, years later, he can’t believe my vision didn’t get worse years ago since most people just keep adding visual aids instead of working eye muscles and their vision continues to worsen over time. Eye docs are conditioned to maintain a problem. They’re in a business! Like a med doc that ignores nutrition, docs don’t cure-there’s no money in that. Imho.
Its a horrible thing that these eye Doctors do not mention this to you, they just increase your prescription. I had no idea about exercising eye muscles, the thought never crossed my mind.
That circle exercise! I can actually feel my eye muscles, wow! I was reading with my glasses on since 3rd grade, years of damage to undo but this is awesome
My 8 year old has been told to wear her glasses 24/7. Her eyes keep getting worse. I'm talking like -3 diopters. I make her take her glasses off for anything up close. Didn't get the stronger prescription this time. We'll see what happens in three months.
@@sbeasley7585well done. It takes courage to not do what the doctor says. Follow Mark and the other instructors (reputable ones, don’t just follow random internet articles) and listen to the Better Eyesight podcast from episode 1
That’s a great tip for helping with astigmatism. I just tried it and I noticed that my eyes were getting that stinging sensation and tearing up because I was noticing movement in my peripheral as I was rotating my head. I’ve been getting a lot of stinging and tearing up lately due to noticing movement of objects when going for walks. Sometimes it happens without me even really doing anything or thinking about it, so maybe it’s becoming a mental habit. I have high myopia (around -6), and a small amount of astigmatism, so I’ll continue to do this head-rotating to hopefully improve both my myopia and astigmatism. Thanks for this tip and all the others you’ve given!
And here i thought i was a great teacher. Your voice, tone, pace and demeanor make you easy to learn from. Thank you for not playing music during your videos. That helps as well.
Very good video on a tricky subject Mark. The functional aspect of astigmatism is not well known at all. But the eyeball is a soft sack full of liquid so the tiniest additional muscle pull can distort the shape. The other aspect is that of lens-induced astigmatism from wearing minus lenses. The eyeball will lengthen over time and distort in shape due to the glasses forcing you to ignore the periphery
You opened my mind, I can't see very well with my left eye and I just learned I probably have high astigmatism and by the years it got worse and my posture is totally wrong! I tend to do the same thing you mentioned with the violin 24/7 and no one ever told me this must be the case my astigmatism got this bad by 3 years, I also read a lot because of my studies and this bad posture and constant eye movement stressed my eye so much. Thanks for changing my life, from now on Imma change my posture and my habits for better and hope to start seeing things clearer
This was so helpful I've just never understood my astigmatism, I can't tell you how much this helps, you explain it easily 🙏 now I can try these tips, mine stacks up and down. Thank you
Mentally building an uniform peripheral image by turning off central vision, adding a little movement. A combination between your first restoration video and your second one in the other channel
Wow. Thanks for the exercise. My eyes felt the tension immediately even doing it very slowly so I had to stop and try it again later and do it for shorter periods so it is at least cumulative.
Hi Mark. Could you make your upcoming webinar free of charge so that more people would be able to improve their eyesight (especially those who really want to join but cannot afford)?
I had Astygmatism because I used my eyes to look down at my phone, as soon as i changed that It went away in like 2 Weeks. I noticed a ghosting up of the letters
Did you get the answers ? I have been seeing ghosting of words too....when I look at far away objects I see double.. literally double or sometines triple@@Umar_faroooq
Hi, I'm a programmer and I had some eyes issues for about 2 years where I get tired and uncomfortable in front of the screens after a while. To mention that I wear glasses permanently. After applying those 3 tips from the video, the raising of the monitors to eye level, rotate whole head in the direction of focus rather that just the eyes, and having a straight back, I noticed a slight but immediate relief to the discomfort of the eyes, so thank you for that. What other tips could you give for people like me that stare into screens all day and night for a living ?
I have so many tips that it would be impossible to name them all in one reply. I highly recommend watching the other videos on my channel, but also consider joining me on my Improve Your Eyesight Challenge. I'm going to be showing more techniques and information that will allow you to see immediate improvements to your eyesight: mimsee2020.com/iyechallenge
Thank for this I was told when I was in the 4th grade I had astigmatism in my left eye I stopped wearing my glasses years ago now for some reason my left eye has gotten blurry I am hoping it's my astigmatism not anything else I have been on my phone a lot the last 2 years home base business social media I feel it took a toll on my left eye .I want to do what it takes cto improve my eyes I have been doing eye exercises my left eye does feel soar it's not use to it going too fast . Taking eye vitamins as well. Again thank you
Marrkk!!! Need desperate help!!!!! Im being forced to quit, my family refuses to believe me in this process, no matter how much of your videos I showed them. Im about to get a stronger pair of glasses, And Im scared that it will now be much harder to do the techniques after that… feeling devastated. I havent seen really any improvement throughout the months i have been dpimg this technique so I feel like im missing something, but not sure what..
It works, but to use a Tibetan wheel, you have to be in front of you. Why not learn to use everything around you as a Tibetan wheel? Then you won't have to worry about only using it in one place. Instead of only using devices and charts only when they are available, I learned how to use everything around me as a device or chart.
Some RU-vidrs are now adding some kind of "human relaxing" effect on their videos. It started on TV series, screen is always moving very slowly like a normal human breathing pattern.
The reversal of vision defects in myopia seems to be easier than in astigmatism. Am I right? I have 2.25 astigmatism in both eyes, is there even a slim chance of completely reversing astigmatism through exercises and relaxation?
Very interesting and will give it a go. Are you an ophthalmologist? Your speak very clearly and with authority on the subject and just wondering what eye specialist or sector within the eye world(!) you are qualified in?
I learned much about the eyes from my own personal experience and by doing research. I am not a medical professional. However, my journey has led me to take many classes and courses on many things concerning the mind and body. From my own experience, I learned that eye problems typically have little to do with the eyes. Tension is usually brought on by many external factors and this is the reason so many people have issues. The good news is that it can be corrected with time and patience.
The first time i did the eye circle it was not a circle, it was little straight lines, all the way, felt very strange, i practice and it became smooth. My muscles were stuck, thank you for your video's.
I don't know if I understand you, so your main idea is that we should move our head when we look somewhere and not only our eyes so as not to strain the eye muscles?
I'm not sure if the mechanism he said is correct, because the more tensioned the muscle is in a direction the more severe the astigmatism is in the same direction. So horizontal muscles' tension would produce against the rule astigmatism, unlike what he said. Also using eye muscles to move dont tension them, it gets tension only if you use the same position for a long period of time.
hi mark! Thank you so much! ❤ So I need some help, my mom said that I should always wear my glasses because she said if I’m wearing my glasses and it’s clear I have a number I had -2 on both eyes PLEASE, help me decrease my number so I can get rid of glasses😊
@myopia is mental I have astigmatism on right 40 but left is normal and crystal clear , how to get rid of this , astigmatism... I used lot of mobile with right hand while sleeping. Cause is this might be
Thank you for sharing this valuable info! I had very high myopia since I was a child and did a lense transplant surgery to correct it but still I have myopia and my left eye is weaker than my right eye, do you think eye exercises would help me to strengthen both eyes even after surgery? Also, I tried the circle exercise, and I got a headache afterwards. Do you know why it did happen? (Forgive my English it's not my first language!)
exercises look great i have a question about circle exercise do we have to turn our eyes only one direction for example in the clock direction in 3 minute sessions or do we have do it other side too for other 3 minutes?...
My eyes can see image and text more clearly when I look down with my eyeball. Is that even astigmatism and how to fix that please? Does it mean I should look up more and not rely on looking down?
Dear Mark, i just do circle exercise instead Tibetan? I just pick object in nature and do it? Soo all could be my wheel? God bless and thanks for helping
if I normally look side-to-side and I need vertical eye movement to fix the astigmatism, is there a way to get more correction with fewer eye movements? For example, if I move the eyes faster? or if I make maximally long movements up and down instead of only moving a small distance up and down, will it result in fewer motion cycles required to correct the eyes?
Thanks Mark, it would be really helpful if you suggest what can high myopics(-6.5 and also astigmatism) practically do while learning to see this way. Like should we reduce 0.25 diopters and keep astigmatism as it is. Plz suggest its very hard to be aware where i am going wrong. As the moment i take off glasses its so blur what to look and all its really frightening.
My probleme is that my right eye has an astigmatisme in 150° and the left in 20° Means they are completly the opposite of each other... so how can i do balence in this case... if i try to balence the strech in my right eye , the left eye will get more tention and vis versa???
This right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yH5p3eQKB90.htmlsi=zhXgHNtnLas5PTMI&t=692. Work both eyes together and they will start to balance out.
I've a severe astigmatism that means. I have like a lot of layers stacked up vertically. When it started it used to be some two or three layers. But now it has severed too much. I wonder if it can be corrected. Additionally, I love the concept of doing I exercises to relax eye muscles, but my issue is that when we have to work we have to put on glasses to see properly, so won't that undo the results of exercising? Aren't prescription glasses constantly ruining the vision, even aftet we're done exercising to relieve them? Please help me clarify these doubts!
Is it possible that contact lenses can make astigmatism worse? My astigmatism was stable for many years and it got worse when I started wearing contact lenses, but I am not sure if this is related or not.
I had an episode of a prolonged accommodation spasm and I think my astigmatism is caused by that. Are there ways to improve health of the ciliary muscles so I don’t need reading ?
I have astigmatism and myopia on left eye -1, and on right eye i am not sure if i have only myopia, it is -0,5. I was thinking of doing and exercises to reduce myopia , and there are exercises wirh looking right and left, up and down and etc, can i do it if i have astigmatism, will i make it worse. And i was rhinking of applyng this you said to my habits.
Hi Mark, for a child who had habit of turning one side since a baby and neck being tilted now almost always, what can be done with reduction in Astigmatism?
Soo i just do this circle for 2-r3 times for couple of months and my astigmatism should improve? I have -1,5 astigmatism. I would be happy to get to -0,75...
Just after days doing this exercise I’m having a blurry vision if i look through the Center of my eyes, and somewhat clearer vision if i look from the edges, can anyone relate here? Also have these constant floaters in my eyes
In the last tip, can we rotate the eyes instead of the head. And do we rotate in a single direction ?? And what do you think about tibeten wheel tp fix astigmatisme??
It's better to rotate the head instead of moving the eyes. It is more of gentle stretch of the extraocular muscles in all directions. The Tibetan wheel works but to use a Tibetan wheel, you have to be in front of one. Why not learn to use everything around you as a Tibetan wheel? Then you won't have to worry about only using it in one place. Instead of only using devices and charts only when they are available, I learned how to use everything around me as a device or chart.
I have astigmatism caused by corneal deformation from a routine of using a warm compress + eyelid massage for dry eyes. I was not instructed properly on this, and the warm compress was too hot and the massage too strong, and now I have gone from perfect vision to blurry at all distances, ghosting, astigmatism. Can these exercises help with this?
Sorry to hear about this. While I haven't come across anyone with your experience, I do believe it's possible to heal the body if you allow it to do so. I've learned that muscles and tension can change the shape of your eyes. If you learn to relax that tension, then you can reshape the eyes back to where they should be. Think of people who are quad dominant, or have tight hamstrings. They can fix that be strengthening opposite muscle groups and stretching. It starts with reprogramming the brain and then reteaching the body. The eyes are no different but nobody really teaches us that.
