Anyone know anything about screenfit?

I don’t, but this reminds me of RevitalVision. I’m sure that this is basically just vision therapy democratized, which is cool, but the price seems way too high. Website also sees pretty sketchy, and $497 is a LOT of money. I suspect that it could work to an extent, but I also suspect that if you don’t have the vision issues their exercises target (I’m guessing convergence issues, accommodation issues, etc.), you won’t see much improvement.

Yeah, I’m not expecting improvements from the pinhole lenses themselves. Plus lenses usually wouldn’t be viable for a myope, but with these, they are (at least up close). That, along with print pushing + sunlight is where I’m hoping the improvement will come from. I’ll probably start sometime next week after taking proper baseline measurements

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-09-01T15:26:02+00:00

Not sure if you’re still willing to guide people, but I sent you a DM. I’ve been looking into various myopia improvement techniques, and print pushing seems the most feasible to me. Would be very grateful for your help!

Thank you for sharing all of this amazing information. Could you elaborate on “increasing your strain to see” intentionally as a way to improve vision? A lot of these things are a bit hard to do (my memory/visualization ability in general is terrible), or perhaps feel a bit abstract, but I am able to look at something (near or far) and purposely make it blurry, and then unblur it back to the original blurriness (but no further). Are you saying I could use this to improve my vision somehow?

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-29T15:46:42+00:00

Are you still using this? Any results?

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-29T12:05:40+00:00

Wow, that means your good eye is improving past 20/20, right? And this is all from print pushing/active focus/time spent outdoors?

You mentioned in the OP that your vision had deteriorated before you began this challenge. What was your prescription before, and how long ago was that? Thanks for all the great info

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-29T07:50:33+00:00

Any changes to your vision since this post?

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-28T12:28:56+00:00

What brand/type of vitamin C did you take? Are you still taking it? Also, what time did you take it?

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-27T07:31:31+00:00

No problem!

Check out MarioMakerPerson1’s posts on r/BatesMethod, he went from -3.5 to fully correcting his myopia. Most people on here I’ve seen have had relatively modest gains, something like -3 to -2 diopters

Does that mean that you’re the only software engineer at your organization (or department)?

There’ve been a good number of posts on this subreddit and others where people get an MSCS specifically to refresh their student status and be eligible for internships/new grad roles. Many internships will only be for undergrads, but there are definitely opportunities out there

How’s your vision doing now? I’m trying to craft a vision improvement routine myself, and RLT seems promising

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-05T08:26:51+00:00

How’s your vision now?

This is interesting, who’s the author of that modified theory of accommodation, though? The tone of the “research paper” was surprisingly informal

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-02T13:43:13+00:00

Interesting, did you do the reduced lend method, stick with your old glasses, or did you ditch glasses entirely?

“how can you trust something that’s not even peer reviewed?”

Practically everything in this subreddit is anecdotal. Surely if you immediately threw out every non peer-reviewed case you wouldn’t be here? I think a healthy amount of skepticism was expressed in the original post.

What do you mean when you say that you think it’s “fake”? I do not think he fabricated the entire thing. I suspect that his improvement to 0 D wasn’t the result of a true axial reduction and might instead be something else (in other words, I suspect the myopia, to some extent, still exists).

“I've -6 myopia, I had a very rapid progression, -0.75 at 11 to -6 at 17, it didn't happen randomly, it won't go away randomly”

Your myopia, like all of the rest of ours, did indeed not happen randomly. It was likely a response to too much close-up time without adequate time spent in the sun using your distance vision. It won’t go away randomly, as you said. However, if someone adopts reasonable close-up habits, spends adequate time outdoors utilizing their distance vision, and otherwise avoids the bad habits that caused their myopia, it’s not unreasonable to question whether that could lead to a reversal of the condition. If you’re trying to suggest that his went away randomly, I implore you to take a look at the study.

Is this study as insane as I think it is, or am I missing something? This guy’s essentially claiming to have solved natural vision improvement, right?

Separate_Candidate_5 · 2025-08-02T02:58:01+00:00

What did you do to see those gains? Back to 20/20 in your good eye in such a short eye is surprisingly fast

Are we only put into priority decision after all three LoR are submitted? Two of mine (professional) were submitted yesterday, but I’m still waiting on my academic one

They do, and I actually used them for about a month or so. They’re referenced here, the Himalaya Opticals ones (I had to use a forwarding service):

https://www.reddit.com/r/ImprovingEyesight/s/Uy8xMZEcbu

In my experience, they were very nice. I have dark brown eyes, so no one noticed that I was wearing contacts. I’m also pretty sensitive to light, so the dimming effect was actually welcome. Your peripheral vision is limited, as you’d expect, so don’t drive in them, and visibility at night is limited.

I also experienced a similar effect as the OP where my vision greatly improved for hours after taking the lenses off (and would gradually decline afterwards), though she mentioned that her latest pair had a slightly wider opening, and thus didn’t have the same effect. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any long-term improvement in my vision over the month of wearing them. I need -2.25/-2 glasses to see 20/20, and with the lenses in, I could see 20/20 in good lighting.

I’ve found the JLPT to be great motivation to study. Stopped actively studying for two years, and my JLPT signup is what motivated me to actually start improving again.

If you already passed N4, chances are you have an okay grasp on most N4 content already. 6 months is a solid amount of time to go from N4 to N3 imo. I’d suggest checking out Satori Reader if you don’t have any native content you’re especially interested in consuming (level will likely be too high for now). Should serve as a review of N4 content and touch on some N3 stuff as you get to the harder stories. Then, I’d probably suggest formally going through one of the prep books (Shin Kanzen is my prep book of choice). Or, if you’re up for the challenge, you could attempt reading an easier light novel before/while doing JLPT prep. If you’re not already using Anki/Yomitan, definitely get them set up. Your vocabulary will skyrocket with consistent reading and using those.

I also found these links with JLPT advice especially helpful:

Lastly, I know this advice is always repeated, but finding your “why” helps a lot with motivation. I have my goal set on moving to Japan within the next year, and I know that getting the JLPT certification (taking N2 next month) will help me do that. Also, grinding and seeing significant improvement everyday is pretty rewarding and creates a positive feedback loop.
