Not super scientific, but eating dried blueberries everyday, looking into red a red light lamp every third day, and doing long distance look training made my eyesight 20/20 again. I have a feeling the red light lamp is the biggest effect. At least according to research it should be. Try it. You only have minutes and a daily blueberry cost to loose.

Interesting. From what to what? How many dpt +-, and how long did you stay there before starting your regimen?

Sorry. Not super scientific. My vision started to degrade after I had diagnosed retinal detachment. My vision didn't degrade yet when I was diagnosed. I was just told to go to the doctor if my symptoms of flashing lights returned. I just lazily noticed that I couldn't read labels far away. After changing my lifestyle I don't have any issues with my vision. Feels like when I was a kid.

Yeah bilberry extract has been studied in Asia since they had an increasingly myopic population. Seems that it works in relaxing the ciliary muscle spasms caused by close up vision. (screen time).

I've also tried red light therapy for the eyes. It seems to work a little too but this is more subjective for me.

I think the best thing would be to live somewhere where its sunny all the time and be outside for the first rays of sunlight.
