Thanks for sharing your facinating approach. By good eyesight do you mean 20/20? How old were you when you started using computers? Do you know of anyone else using your technique, if so what are their results?

Good question, haven't visited the optometrist since I was a child for casual checking. Just tried and I'm able to read text with light Arial font size 11 in a 15" monitor 1.4m apart, if that provides any clue. Good eyesight at night. Started using computers when about 10yo. Started feeling eye pain (quick needle in the eye kind of pain) since about 30 years ago, and use the technique since then, the pain goes for a few months, and maybe I've had 3 eyestrain crisis in those 30 years, in which I had to apply the method once or twice per day for 1 or 2 weeks then got well for months. I don't know of anyone else using it.

  Go to an optometrist and stop poking your eyes please.

For what it's worth, 20/20 is a woefully inadequate measurement to claim good eyesight in the context of reading or computer use. (It works well for "can walk around town" or "can drive a car".) Vision works differently at different distances. I have "20/20 vision" (see distant objects at least as well as average), but I also am practically unable to read small print, need reading glasses to read for more than 15 minutes or to read a backlit Kindle in the dark, I sometimes get eye strain headaches if I don't wear my computer glasses, and I'm suffering from glaucoma which, if untreated, will make me blind in a way where I'll likely retain 20/20 vision for a very long time while losing peripheral vision, contrast, and ability to read for more than 15 minutes. The eye, and the nervous system it feeds, is a complex system with various failure modes. If you have eye strain, go see an optician. If they think you should also see an ophthalmologist, do that too. If any of your parents/their siblings/grandparents developed glaucoma, and you're 40+ years, go see an ophthalmologist and tell them who all was affected, it's hereditary.

  Thanks, I don't feel much eyestrain and have excessively good near vision, but I'm always on the look out for far out ways to improve or prevent further near sightedness.
