Lets see clearly again

Well, after the last daliance with the fast, I've been doing normal lead-up to Christmas sort of stuff - eating and laying around a lot!!

However, after reading a book the other day, and finding myself holding it closer than normal, I've decided that its time to try to revive my eyes a bit. I've worn glasses for many years, progressively getting thicker and thicker, until in 1999 I got the LASIK laser procedure done. I ended up with a bit of haloing that took the better part of a year to go away, but apart from that has been perfect.

My daughter's birth 18 months ago coincided with a greatly increased workload. I also go a new laptop at the time, which I'm running at a smaller resolution. Whether due to that, or due to the increased stress of my work, my eyes started to weaken. I denied it to myself for a long time, but its become very obvious.

So, its time to do something. I've had a look around a bit, and I'm going to try a mixture of eye relaxation (ala Bates method) and some natural herbs (bilberry, grape seed oil, ...) to see how I go.

However, I have not heard directly from anyone who has properly changed their eyesight, apart from testimonials on websites selling something, which is always a little bit dodgy. So, if anyone has anything they would like to say about this...
