haha Did you catch the spelling error? Thanks for watching! Let me know which part was your favorite!
I know a doctor who gave me a
Medicine to drink and 3 eye drops
Pack and said my eyesight can be corrected within a year . I have -5.00
,-5.50.
The eye drops really burns a lot and
Relieves my eyes.
I stopped using it though
Can u tell me if it really could do something.
Basically the video is telling you, when it comes to your eyes health you shouldn’t listen to anyone but the optometrist (no research studies).
Otherwise all optometrists will go out of business.
I wore glasses for about a year and my near vision became worse. I stopped wearing them, and it got better.
I've always had well above average eyesight but I'm hitting 50 and realizing I'm having trouble reading small text in poor light just like my dad used to. I got myself some 1.0x reading glasses on my mom's entreaties, lowest I could get, and I have to say, I hadn't realized how hazy my near-sight had gotten until I saw how crystal clear it was with the glasses on. It's not that glasses make your eyesight worse; it's that you don't realize how bad it's gotten until you have glasses on. Also, people gazing into the sun to improve their eyesight and all the other untested "alternative" medicine enthusiasts are just over-coddled morons who need to learn and understand the unnecessary pain and stupidity of pre-scientific healthcare. Of that I'm sure.
Can caffeine damage your eyes?
Don't listen to this person my eyesight went from -0.5 and -0.25 to -2 and -1.75 😢i still regret listening to these type of doctors 😮💨

And I ONCE WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO USED TO WEAR GLASSES/ SPECTACLES 👓 LIKE 18 HOURS A DAY JUST NOT WHILE SLEEPING I LITERARY WORE THEM EVEN WHILE BATHING 😢I TRUSTED ME DOCTORS 😢

Iv had glasses 🤓 3 weeks I wear them part time, I can’t even read my phone when I could a month ago?!! WTH?!
You got me pregos
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 dreamy boy
it's not a myth. I've gone from -4.5 and -5.0 to -1, -1.5 now by gradually reducing my glasses power. Glasses do make your eyes worse. This "doctor" makes a living by making your eyes worse. So why should you listen?
I can say that I do have the blue light stuff in my prescription glasses but that’s because I have a retinal disorder and that it’s important for me to keep my eyes as healthy as possible for as long as possible, because without the blue light protection my red nose would be even worse than they are, and once upon the body is only detached, but dead there’s no put it back in well. My retinal issue is the fact that my Redmans are slowly detaching and dying off, I have retinitspigmentosa also known as RP, and even when I have some vision left, I am slowly going blind will be completely blind someday already diagnosed legally blind. I forget exactly where I am with my number with vision flexes to a bit bum legal blind white cane, also known as the came for the blind in all kick was I was told that in my early to mid 80s before I was completely blind I was also told when I was diagnosed at 8 1/2 23 years ago this month actually that I wouldn’t be legally blonde until I was in my mid to late 30s I’m really in my early 30s movie 31 as in my 20s when I officially became legally buy and I was only 23. The deterioration was quite rapid for a small period of time, and to the point where it was not be able to be predicted that that was going to happen, but I can tell you the blue boy can affect those of us with retinal -based diagnoses, and can affect sleep to this right, even though it is almost 1:30 AM for me, I’m still Wideawake also suffered from sleeping issues to begin with connected to mental health issues, but the blue light does not help in Rankin. Is it healthy Isa I know I don’t have healthier it’s like I said before I’m going blind due to retinitis pigmentosa that’s not healthy eyes at least not what the average person would consider healthy eyes on this sound. These miss just left me shaking my head in disbelief I am I have never finished college but I did take some college. I have my high school diploma and I’ve got street smart and what is cold commonsense even though it actually isn’t that common and I am I have some learning struggles connected to autism, and my mom may not be the best mother out that is your mouth done. A lot of crazy things, but one thing she didn’t do was raise the fool.
Does wearing someone else glasses damage your eye sight
is staring at the moon also bad? especially super moons?
Eye doctors are nothing but witch doctors. I've had multiple eye doctors tell me they can correct my slightest stigmatism but when I get new glasses, it makes my stigmatism worse. Shame on eye doctors for their blatant dishonesty they obviously have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to slight astigmatism!!! These losers will say anything to take your money, shame on them all!!!
How does stating a bunch of things that improve eyesight and calling them myths make one an eye doctor?
Love your videos but I have one question if glasses doesn’t make your eyes worse, why do you need a higher prescription every time you go see your eye doctor?
Miserable fact: 80 per cent of Singaporeans aged 18 or below who have nearsightedness, or myopia.
Several major findings have come from studies of experimental animal models. These include the eye's ability to detect the sign of retinal defocus and undergo compensatory growth, the local retinal control of eye growth, regulatory changes in choroidal thickness, and the identification of components in the biochemistry of eye growth leading to the characterization of signal cascades regulating eye growth and refractive state. Read the literature about the cause of the elongation of the eye(myopia). As ever increasing strength of glasses coupled with use of those glasses in close up work increases myopia, the reverse is also true: Ever decreasing the strength of glasses coupled with distance vision WILL reverse myopia. Please do not delete this until you have read the research. IMI – Report on Experimental Models of Emmetropization and Myopia
i have astigmatism and wear contact lenses lol
Glasses definitely make eyes worser ofcourse optician would disagree its there business 😂
Preach brother-preach!
So much truth in one video.
I hope people listen to your words and realize the truth of what you are saying!
Thank you for another lesson in the realities of the lies of the mythologies which dominate the internet for profit.
God bless you, your family, and your future successes!
i heard, nearsightedness isnt caused by screens, but is actually caused by lack of sunlight. lack of sunlight is associated with screens though, which is why people believe this
