So, this is a good thread to ask - anyone ever try eye exercises in earnest? The most logical one to do for me seems to be the near-focus, far-focus shifting.

The most logical one to do for me seems to be the near-focus, far-focus shifting. If it's a traditional muscle issue, then that should train it. (Though it seems that science can't decide whether muscles relax or contract to focus, and if they relax, it seems training them might make things worse).
I have tried keeping up 10 minutes of training a day for a while, and I didn't notice consistent improvement, but noticed great variance day-to-day.
- detaro 8y agoI've done some against my double vision (a bunch of regular exercises at the doctors office with special machines and exercises at home). Seems to have worked, but obviously that's different muscles than myopia.
- madeuptempacct 8y agoHow much time did you put in? Hours a day / overall duration of the program? It seems to me that there has never been any real research into fixing eyes naturally - it takes 2-3 years to learn to do a one-arm chin up. It seems like fixing your eyes might take a similar level of effort, yet research was never done on that scale.
- detaro 8y agoNot sure, quite a while ago. rough estimate: Sessions at a "school" every 3 weeks or so for a few months, maybe an hour each, and 10 minutes at home most days? (supposed to do it daily, but I was a kid and certainly didn't actually remember it daily) Seems like this kind of therapy is quite controversial though, with not much scientific consensus it actually helps.
