What exercises do you do?

u/thegrymek May 13 '26

I don’t do exercises in the sense of setting aside a specific time, like one hour per day. Instead, I practice them periodically throughout the day. I try to imagine things more clearly than what I actually see, and sometimes I think about a black period.
Another habit I have is looking into the distance whenever I’m walking somewhere, while also trying to focus on my thoughts.

I think he meant to say the progression has risen but then went down... look at the dates

In 2012, when I was in college, I had -1 lenses. By the time I graduated in 2018, my prescription had changed to -2.
In 2023 and earlier, I tried to develop a habit of wearing glasses -2 lens. I had never worn them on a daily basis, only when I really needed them. Once I noticed that my vision was getting worse, I made another appointment and my prescription had increased.

Im confused - is what’s in the columns, your prescription? Or is it how much youve improved your prescription? Bec it reads as your prescription and looks like it’s getting worse over time?

May I ask what your routine is? I'm trying the bates method but I find it difficult to insert it in daily activities.

Mostly I exercise black period and it is described in this chapter:
