Yesterday I finished Phase 5 of autogenics. I only have one more
phase left! I am started to feel the benefits of autogenics very
quickly now and I have also been able to use it anytime (I don’t have
to be laying down). My legs finally got very heavy and now I can slow
down my heartbeat and my breathing and relax my whole body. It has
been a great tool and I’m really looking forward to the last phase. I
start today and it lasts for two weeks. After that I will have a
simple set of phrases to use for relaxation and I can add my own
phrases to help with my eyesight. I’m going to incorporate ideas from
Bates and Grunwald in developing some self-hypnotic phrases for
helping my vision; we’ll see how it works!
This week I have also been taking 25 minute walks almost everyday
without my glasses on. I still get clear flashes and when I’m outside
my vision sometimes remains clearer for long periods. On some of my
walks I even forget I’m not wearing my glasses! I’m really getting
used to how I see without my glasses and am happier without them than
with.
In yesterday’s post, I mentioned something at the very end that I
wanted to reiterate. I am wearing glasses that are OD -5D and OS
-4.25D (these are glasses I purchased in January, not quite the right
fit for both eyes), but I can now see my vision clear to 20/20 when I
wear these glasses. I’m going to order a new pair that are -5 D in
both eyes, and possibly a pair that are -4.25 in both eyes as well.
When I started I was wearing OD -8D and OS -7.25D! So even though my
vision with these reduced glasses isn’t perfectly sharp all the time
if I practice my good vision habits with my glasses on, my vision will
become very sharp. I’m excited as I had never before been able to
see such improvement while wearing glasses, only when I wasn’t wearing
them. I still try to go without glasses at all times unless I need
them, but I imagine I wear glasses approximately 8 hours per day.
Hopefully this means I’m spending the other 8 waking hours without
glasses!
I have been doing some swings, but no palming. I also shift my vision
whenever I can. Sometimes I forget but it’s becoming more of a
habit. I can tell much more strongly now when I’m not practicing my
shift, breathe, and blink because my eyes immediately become painfully
dry and if I don’t rest them it’s unbearable.
I’m working on another graph that I can update more frequently and
post it on its own page so it’s easier to track my progress. I also
plan to diligently plot my Snellen chart reading results for every day
and have two charts; one for bright mid-day daylight conditions and
the other for dim light conditions.
