My thinking now is that just removing the glasses and looking at the horizon probably won't do much, but exposure to smaller amounts of far-point stress may correct the problem. <a href="http://tod.fm/unglassed-day-72/" rel="nofollow">I go into more detail in my latest update.</a> Thanks for sharing!

It wasn't terrible, I didn't notice it really until I realized the fact that I couldn't clearly see the writing on the blackboard in class from certain seats was abnormal. I got glasses then and wore them often at first, and then as I enjoyed many sports and feared breaking them I would wear them less frequently. In high-school and college I basically wore them in class, and when driving. I did have a stint with contacts for about 5 years, but got tired of my eyes hurting most of the time and decreased usage until I stopped altogether. Since college (11 years) I've worn my glasses only when driving, or very occasionally at a presentation, theatre or sporting event when I'd be too far from the action to see it well. And I'd say my vision hasn't improved at all, but hasn't gotten worse (both of my parents had increasingly worsening vision throughout their lives). Now in my work I tend to be inside and look only at things within 3 - 8 feet of me so I've not attempted to exercise by staring at distant objects, but I'm highly skeptical that there is any non-surgical chance of my vision improving. I am however interested to "see" how you fare. I’ve been nearsighted since I was about 14 years old.
