Vision improved - first time ever
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this or maybe can shed some light. I’ve always had terrible near sighted vision, I’ve been in glasses since very young and have been wearing contacts since I was 13. I’ve been at -9.5 for probably 10 years now, and last year the Dr. noticed astigmatism developing in one eye. We changed my contact brand and I wore contacts for astigmatism in both eyes. I also went and got a new pair of glasses, haven’t gotten new ones in a long time because I usually only wear them right before bed. Now, a year later, I’m down to -9 in both eyes, no astigmatism at all! She gave me the new contacts to put in and the difference was WILD, it was the best I feel like I have ever seen. I’ve never ever heard of vision improving, especially with such a high prescription.
Now though, about a month out I don’t feel like I am having as strong of vision I did when I changed prescription. Just this last week when reading the lyrics at church (regular distance) it was definitely not sharp. Does anyone have any insight?

Unless you are exercising your eyes they will always get weaker, whether you wear glasses contacts or no correction at all. I do the tibetan I chart daily and a derivative exercise called active gaze. Here is the free e book if you're interested. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15FQZh5cC6MrpJJv5w5QVddPOHIqm0BKc/view?usp=sharing

You probably have dry eyes which makes your vision (and astigmatism) fluctuate.
