Farsightedness and patience to see results

[Rosangela]

Thank you so much, Andrew. I appreciate your time and support.

I've been doing as you and Mary and the books suggest, but I really, really need to stop being attached to results. I have had a few moments of clarity, but when next time I see the letters even blurrier than ever I become sad thinking it's a regression.

I just received on the mail the notification for renewing my driver's licence and this time they require eye exam - I immediately got nervous about that, even though the exam is only in September! I was able to read the letter with some struggle but not too much, but I had a hard time reading "Summer Solstice" 2 feet away on the wall calendar.

Sometimes it happens that farther away is as difficult to read as it is up close. Is it possible to have near and farsightedness at the same time???

Thank you!

Rosangela

practice extra time with that eye reading the fine print, shifting on a stone, flower...

This way;
Both eyes together.
Then one eye at a time. Clearest eye first.
Then less clear eye, little extra time with this eye, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Then couple seconds again with clearer eye (to keep a balance).
End with both eyes together again.

5-10 minutes is about right.

Look from the print to the far, then back to the print.

Mary,

My weaker eye (the left one) does almost nothing by itself. When I close the right eye, I see only long smudges over the page - that's how I see the lines with my left eye, no words or letter at all! All smudged!

Only one time, when I was practicing this while reading Harry Benjamin's book, I was able - with much struggle - to see what "appeared" to be the word "altogether". I think it was more of a guess (because of the shape of the letters together) than a proper reading, but I was happy anyway. My guess (or reading) was correct! That was the only time!

I tried again later, other days, but it didn't happen. Even on the computer where the texts are bright and shown on a large screen, I can't read only with the left.

I guess you will tell me to keep doing it, right? Without the strain.

Thank you, Mary!
