I'm preparing to reduce another level (-1.50 to -1.25)! :)
Hi everyone! :)
Just wanted to share the news that I'm getting ready to reduce my lenses again! :D
I started wearing -1.50 lenses on August 2nd, and today is October 20th, so it took my eyes about two and a half months to adjust to -1.50 lenses.
Before this, I was wearing -1.75 lenses for almost an entire year while I took a hiatus from lense reduction.
I'm a bit concerned that I might be reducing my lenses too early this time, but I've had essentially perfect vision for several days this week while while wearing my -1.50 lenses, so I figured I'd reduce again and see how it goes :)
For the past month or two, I've been trying to be more diligent about doing my core eyesight improvement routine, and I think this has paid off:
- Put a thick blanket over my head in the morning, so that it's dark. Play on my phone in the dark, under the blanket, to induce yawning, which induces tears, to make my eyes less dry.
- Work for 1 hour, then walk outside for 15-20 minutes. Repeat all day.
- Always work directly in front of a picture window, facing the window, or work outside.
- Put a thick blanket over my head and play on my phone before sleep, for the same reasons that I do this in the morning, and also to help my eyes not get as dry from the cold evening air.
(For those who haven't seet it yet, I have a full writeup of my methods and results here)
I'm pretty excited! ^_^
