How I Improved My Eyesight With a Heavy Prescription and Astigmatism

As someone who has needed glasses or contacts since the age of 7, I get asked all the time how I reduced my heavy eye prescription. Today I’m sharing how I did it!

Interested in the yantra art behind me?

A great effort.
Went from 20/50 to 20/20.
Took 2 years.

All improvement, is incredible.
More power to you!!

Could you do a more detailed video about exercises you did to improve your vision.

Just came across your video. Can you please link Scott’s meditation videos that you use for your vagus nerve toning? Running a search isn’t working yet for me. Thanks!

I too am having miracle vision improvement from high intensity PEMF therapy. I dont know if its actually calming down my Vagus Nerve or improving my eyes blood circulation. My double vision, floaters are reduced. My vision is more sharp although not yet got confirmation of any improvement from my eye doc

Astigmastism is based on the shape of your actual eye. So any inflammation in the eye can also affect your vision, so can vitamin deficiencies. It will have a base line "good as it gets, " though.

I’m 15 and I’ve had glasses since I was in preschool, my eyesight is at 6 in one wye and 6.5 for the other. I have astigmatism and I don’t think my eyesight can get better at this point ):

[sarahlabbett]

My astigmatism makes me feel like I don't see one clear object, does that make sense?

[otiebrown]

I look for an intelligent world when we are OFFERED successful prevention, when at 20/50, and -0.75 Diopters.

It always seemed to me like, it’s a muscle! I can work that out right? This is cool because I have been thinking about that a lot lately and how would I go about exercising those eye muscles? Then boom! Video from Caitlin 😍

Hi Caitlin, could you explain more on the process of healing "that" you mentioned at 2.22?

[Aamna_]

When did you reduced for the first time
And how much did you practice?

[sinead]

hey! i’m 13 and i have -7.50in left eye and -6.50 in right eye and there’s a big difference in my eye power. i’m trying to heal my eyesight and do you know how to fix the big difference in eyesight?

[ashe]

-5.00 isn’t strong at all
-5.00D is considered very mild myopia in most Asian countries
You must reach -11.00D and above to be considered as a heavy prescription guy

[antoniocontreras]

Might as well get lasik instead of using all the energy and save a lot of time

[dimebag]

How old are you? Remember after 40 the eyes tend to hypermetropize, and what happened to you might be due to natural causes instead of the whole thing you describe, especially if you don't lower your prescription and the eyes just "get better" by themselves.

[btwitsanshul]

My eyesight is -15 in both eyes
What do I do 😭😭😭😭😭

[editionlover]

What was your prescription and what's now?

[rainbow]

I am -9.00 myopic with -0.75 astigmatism in my right eye, and -8.25 myopic with -1.50 astigmatism in my left eye.

[Hansel]

That's not a high or heavy prescription!
