I can attest that I’ve gone from -5.75 to -5.00. And I’ve stopped what felt like an inevitable worsening of my vision.

Anecdotally people have reported you can improve at about 0.75 diopters per year and that resonates with my experiences.

Also anecdotally, people who spend a lot of times outdoors seem to recover faster.

I move my screen back and don't wear glasses during work. I also have an eye chart hanging in front of me across the room. I stuck to near-far focus exercises for about 6 months at some point. My eyesight has not improved. I do notice completely different ability to read the chart during the day - sometimes I can read letters 5x smaller than the large letters, and sometimes I can barely read the large letters. Sunlight and how tired I am matter a lot - early in the day on 8+ hours of sleep like today means I can see almost as well as 20/20 (but at night I can't read the large numbers, though I can read the small with glasses). Sometimes doing the near-far focus exercises helps for the short term. Breathing deeply seems to help. I seem to have a ton of stress related issues breathing deeply helps relax.

Unfortunately, the tldr is that my vision has not objectively improved permanently.

Story of my life really - I very much question most people's ability to improve in most areas, but that's a different topic.

P.S. I have the same disbalance as most here - one eye is both faster to focus and sees better. I close one eye when I do near-far focus.

How old are you? My toy model is that age-related stiffening of the lens causes fatigue in the eye muscles through the day.
