Explosive: A feature story on eye healing

I suppose I can finally join the ranks of those who stuck with the exercises and actually saw some results. About two months ago, I went to see Dr. Proust, and my prescription was sitting at -1.5 in both eyes. In the beginning, I was practicing every single day, and it felt like my vision was steadily sharpening—though, to be honest, that’s a tricky thing to gauge because once you start improving, you lose that baseline sense of just how blurry everything used to be. Everything just kind of blended into this hazy mess in the distance, but one thing was undeniably clear: my old glasses just didn't feel right anymore. Eventually, I let my discipline slip, slowed down the routine, and then ultimately quit altogether simply because I lost interest. Just a few days ago, I went in for a checkup at the Vatican eye clinic, and the doctor there confirmed that my prescription has dropped to -0.75 in both eyes, with the left one even hovering closer to -0.5.
So, I've decided to pick the exercises back up to see where this path leads.
It's a bit discouraging, though; I've scoured every corner of the internet looking for success stories on this topic, and I haven't found a single person claiming they managed to bring their prescription all the way down to zero. Some people don't see any change at all, while others only manage to cut it halfway.

So, I actually brought this up during my checkup—I asked the doctor if it’s actually normal that even with such a minor prescription of -0.75, I still can't make out people's faces when I'm sitting at a coffee shop or hanging out. That’s honestly the part that drives me crazy. I almost convinced myself that nothing had changed at all, but she explained that to really see faces clearly, you’d need to be closer to a -0.25. Anything beyond that starts getting blurry. It makes me think maybe other people are giving up on their progress too, simply because they feel like nothing is shifting; they still don't have that crisp, clear vision they were promised. For instance, Proust told me personally that my vision would be corrected to a perfect zero within about 15 to 30 days. Yet, here I am, two and a half months later, and I’m barely halfway there. Still, I suppose it's some form of progress.

They seem like a bunch of scammers to me..
Maybe there’s some truth to it, but then you just get these shady characters looking to cash in on the hype.. glasses $1000 and consultations $133 after signing an agreement that prevents you from disputing anything.. I guess it's hard to tell who's being naive or just foolish here 🙄

The image sharpens into perfect clarity, but only for a split second before it blurs again. You blink, and it sharpens again.

Regarding focus, I can also manage to concentrate for a few seconds to see things more clearly, but then everything just goes blurry again. It seems pretty normal to me 😬

So what kind of exercises are we talking about here? Is it like some Tai Chi stuff or just staring at your eyes in different directions? And do you actually use your hands for any of it?
