I am pretty near-sighted. I started practicing martial arts ten years ago. When I practice I don’t wear glasses. Several hours a week, where I would have worn glasses all the time previously. After a few years I noted that I felt I could see better without glasses than I used to. But my optician says otherwise. It feels like my brain ha gotten better/more comfortable (?) at interpreting what it sees, even if I don’t objectively see better. Not sure what is happening, but I am not complaining.
