Stretching the corner of your eyes, temp solution?

Question

I've had really poor eyesight for the last 6 years or so, I can't see clearly beyond my outstretched arm

For some reason I don't want to get glasses or anything cause I have this weird fear of going there (LOL, don't ask)

Anyway, I found this temp solution a few years back where if I streetch the corner of my eyes (like when people take the mick out of asian people) I can see 100% clearly if I focus it right

Has anyone ever heard of this, and can be bad for you (saggy skin etc.)? I do this kinda regularly as being in high school I have to read alot on boards and slides

Answer 1

I used to do that, it didn't make my eyesight 100% perfect, but made things clearer. I stopped doing it and resorted to glasses because it hurt after a while, looked weird and was impractical.

Answer 2

cool

Answer 3

Its not safe to this with your eyes . You are stretching your eye . And pressing like that can eventually damage not only your cornea . But your retina as well . Your eyesight is too precious for vanity . Like not wearing glasses or contacts

Answer 4

What you are doing is changing the shape of the cornea and hence the way light is refracted. While you might find that this solves a short term problem, you are going to potentially damage muscles within the eye by continuous strain. You are also likely to have/develop headaches and migraines as a result of this. While you may not like the idea of specs, you risk damaging your eyesight for no reason. Go and have your eyes checked by an optician and get into glasses at least. The quality of your vision will improve massively. You will also reduce the risk of long term damage not only to the muscles of your eyes, but the cornea itself.

Best of luck
