I was watching this MinutePhysic's video, and i just felt so astounded.

Being someone that has to wear glasses 24/7, I found this a bit enlightening. Who knew that such a simple trick be so effective? It would be interesting to read another's philosophical opinion on the way the eyes work, if any.

Indeed. I was really doubtful about this theory until I tried it.

It works, but only to a certain degree for me. I can see big objects from about the distance that my room is, but it is still a tad blurry. I wonder why that is, exactly. Wonder why it doesn't work all the way? Is it because my eyesight is far too poor and short-distanced, or maybe it's because I'm using the theory wrong, somehow? These are all questions that can spring to mind.


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 58 comments I'll have to agree with poor eye sight for several reasons. One being that everyone eyesight is different, meaning they varies between different extremes. And secondly, I tried the technique, and I wasn't able to see clear things even up close. Big letters I can see, but small letter was a no go for me. Even looking at my dog though a small hole was still blurry, even with him being close by.

True. I'm rather terrible with my eyesight. This is mainly because when I was younger I could't put down my book, so I'd pretend to be asleep when mom came in and read by iPod or other sources of light when she left under the covers. It became a habit, and naturally from reading in the dark my eyesight got bad pretty quickly.

For me, it's not so much clear as being able to distinctly recognize one shape from another. Either way, my eyesight is still pretty terrible, even with that interesting experiment.

Again, our day-to-day habits can affect our eyesight. For example: if you stay up all night watching a video or typing on the computer and there is no other source of light besides the computer screen, the more hours you do that the worse it might actually get.
