I myself was -5.75 and -6.25 with some non-negligible cylinders. I experienced discomfort when looking at my phone phone and reading book with my glasses on. I General check up said that my eyeball pressure and all were normal, but I know the discomfort is nothing good and can be quite serious. I read up online and found out that myopia could cause eyeball elongation, which could cause discomfort and ultimately could cause retinal damage/detachment. The discomfort I was experiencing was probably due to my elongated eyeball.
I prayed and began looking for way to work around my myopic eyes without having to get yet another thicker glasses... And I'm super thankful to have found out about this life-changing video by Todd Becker on how to reverse myopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Efg42-Qn0. The TLDR is that eyeball elongation (and hence myopic eyes) can be reversed in a way very similar to how strength training is conducted (hormesis). You simply need to keep wearing reduced prescription and do eye-focus exercises regularly.
It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I was scared too at first, and when I went to a glasses store to get a lower prescription glasses, the store attendant warned me too. But I went ahead anyway. My latest eyes exam before the attempt (back in August 2021) was -6.75 and -6.5 with -0.25 and -0.5 cyls. After 2 years of wearing lower prescription whenever possible and doing eye-focus exercise quite inconsistently (by reading on Kindle with lower prescription at a distance that causes hormesis, as explained by Todd Becker), I am happy to announce that I'm now wearing -4.5 on both eyes (without cyls) when I need almost-perfect vision, and wearing -3.5 for training purposes. I have seen people online who seem to be much more consistent reported even faster progress.
If you are interested to learn more, here are some resources I found super useful and forever grateful for: 1. Excellent science behind it, explained by Todd Becker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Efg42-Qn0 2. Article by Todd Becker: https://gettingstronger.org/2014/08/myopia-a-modern-yet-reve... 3. A mailing list with some guidance: https://endmyopia.org/ 4. Excellent PDF by C.G. Hayes with guidance on how to get lower prescription glasses: https://losetheglasses.org/cliffgnu-vision.pdf
On top of those resources, I am happy to share more of my experience and the exercise I did as well. Feel free to email me at denny at nusantara-cloud dot com if you want to have a chat with me!
