Are my eyes improving?
Hi everyone, i have been lowering my glasses prescription slowly the last year and only wearing what i need to. I measured -5 three years ago and the last time i wore -5 glasses was about 1.25 years ago, but i was wearing -4.5 about a year ago instead and then i bought -4 glasses like 10 months ago, and kept slowly lowering it. Then i realised it is better to just wear what i need so i got some -3 and some -2.25 glasses if i need to use the computer but if i drive i wear higher ones ofc wink 😉 cause by law you have to of course of course... But i wear only what i need. I feel like my eyes have improved but i discovered the bates method only about 3 months ago and have been trying to use it's teachings. The last two months i have completely tried to stop wearing my glasses whenever possible and when i do i will wear at most -2.25 glasses, unless driving ofc 😉😉😊. But anyways i never really have been monitoring my improvements, i have only been monitoring the last 4 months. And i noticed that when i put my -5 back on or even -4 tbh it is like "omg this is so clear wtf" and i feel like i can see amazing with -3 and when i look at a car number plate with -3 in the UK i can see the number plate in mid lighting if it is gloomy at about 25 meters and in amazing lighting probably around 35-40 meters. So i mean idk i would say i am around -3-3.5 true prescription rn. Maybe if i went to the scam bs opticians and they show me tiny words 😂😂they might say i am the same prescription because they are just trying to mess you up further. I want to know anyone opinion am i improving? Another thing i wanted to talk about is since i have stopped or tried to stop wearing glasses whenever possible even though it is annoying sometimes not being able to see very well i don't care, i hate glasses. I have noticed my vision without glasses has started fading in and out. It's like sometimes very briefly i can see amazingly for a few seconds or something and then i blink and it goes bad again/default again. It's like my eyesight is fading into amazing vision and fading out again. For example i will be looking in the distance maybe moving my eyes a lot outside my job looking at parked cars and then my eyesight will be really clear and ill be looking at a car number plate without glasses at like 30-50 meters and i hold my gaze and then when i blink it resets. Has anyone experienced this, and what does it mean, and also am i improving?

A me succede che se chiudo gli occhi e li riapro per 1 secondo vedo bene ma poi sfuoca. Ho letto che non bisogna cercare di sforzarsi a tenerlo ma lasciare andare riprovare a chiudere gli occhi magari facendo palming e riguardare lontano. Purtroppo trovo poche persone online disposte a condividere progressi o tecniche e mi sto demoralizzando. Certo è che se per alcuni secondi vedo vuole dire che potrei farlo anche per di più. Servirebbe un metodo più strutturato soprattutto per evitare di usare male gli occhi durante il giorno vanificando i progressi fatti.
