Great question! Do a search for 'the Bates Method'. I am short-sighted and stopped wearing corrective lenses about 10 years ago when I discovered the Bates Method of natural eyesight improvement. I very soon experienced what he describes as 'clear flashes' i.e. 20/20 vision for a brief moment. When you have worn glasses for 20 years, it is a magical experience. I don't practice the exercises religiously but nevertheless my eyesight has measurably improved (from about -2.5 to -2.0). I still get the clear flashes, sometimes for appreciably longer periods of time e.g. 5 or 10 seconds. I hope that I will some day regain 'normal' vision and I only wish that someone had told me about this when I began to go short-sighted at about the age of 13.
