RE: Una vista migliore / A Better Vision (IT/EN)
Obviously I'm no doctor. Hell, for the most part I'm a fucking donkey, but I do have enough of an imagination to assume there might be ways to improve one's eyesight (beyond wearing glasses). One of which might as well could be specialized video games, or changing your habits for that matter. A bit like good posture in context of avoiding back pain. I suppose sometimes the kid has already fallen into the well though and the best you can do is mitigate the damage.
I've been reading an awful lot recently. Actual books, on paper and everything. Nothing to brag about, I'm just mentioning it because as I'm relearning how to flip pages and so on, I too have been wondering about my eyesight. I've noticed how it takes me a while to adjust focus after reading for a bit. Hence I figured it might be a good idea to look up occaisonally and focus something else, like every few pages or so.
I also realized I was moving my head while reading. Meaning, instead moving my eyes I was turning my neck ever so slightly while tracing lines, probably further weakening those muscles in charge of focus control. Video games for that matter might help with the formation of postive patterns, given how unpredictable some of them are and you being forced to use quick eye-movements. Still, it's a flat plane, so who knows what it does exactly.
Another thing I've heard, as in vaguely remembered hearsay, was some sort of study regarding the negative impact of black on white text layouts. Something something about it making your eyeballs grow or shrink in bad ways and consequently making you worse. But then it also argued this could be reversed using inverted colors. Or rather, using white on black text layouts. Which is nice, because as far as I know bot Linux and Windows have that inversion feature. KDE, that desktop environment for Linux, even lets me invert individual programs and windows.
So yes, I would assume video games might be able to improve your eyesight. And if not, maybe help mantain it. If not through the gameplay itself maybe through dedicated timeouts and mini-games. That said, video games also seem to have the potential to destroy your eyesight. I guess it's complicated.
I find it hard to believe that we all are born with bad eyesight and if this is the result of an accident or TV/computere/gaming it cannot be stored in the DNA. It doesn't make sense.
An interesting fact is that some doctors/opticies say there's no need for new glasses if the difference is only 0.25 while others want to sell a new pair and simply don't care if this makes the eyes more lazy
reminds me of my grandpa. He suffered from headaches and although his eyes were fine they gave him... a pair of glasses (or more). I didn't work, the headaches remained and the glasses were like windowglass. The cause of his headaches? Bone cancer.
Video games are already used in therapy and the eye movement is what is needed which means that if that should be triggered certain games can be played while others are more like staring at the screen ((sudoku or something pity for me).
So practised swapping pages of books?
Not too long ago I thought I would be blind because I coudln;t read the the tiny letters so of course the opticien gave me glasses but the made me fill sick and today they are not used because according to another specialist I don't need them.
I did notice that if read outside (or by daylight) I can perfectly read unlike when I am in the kitchen (it's in average dark, no windows LOL).
I tried te videogame with the helmet last year. It was kind of cool but the main problem was that I couldn't focus because it was too close to my face (I felt pity for the dinosaurs that got stuck with it's head underneath a gate can you imagine that!). I heard more people say that gaming with a helmet isn't easy and the eyes have a hard time to focus but can be it has to do with the type of game as well.
How is the donkey?
You should add #diginnasio underneath your great comment
P.s. you can write a bit to gave your eyes some rest from reading. Thanks for being here

Oh, I'm fine. More or less. I guess I could complain about this and that, but it's really not that bad.
How about you?
Oh, regarding your side project. You mentioned sudokus and such, so why not add that and other things? There's a neat thing called dual 'n' back which is meant to improve your short term memory.
It's not really my project but the community Italy.
I and others asked around (comment contest, Talkchannel) what people like to play. To me it would be something like sudoku but even there people cheat. I have no idea how long it takes to develop or add a few other games.
Perhaps @kafio works on it? If not I take the booklet and and a pencil.
More or less doesn't sound like good. How is your back?
I had two good nights sleeping on the couch. It was warmer than in my bed LOL, reason the dog and the cat but now I believe I stay there till it's Spring.
My back is ok. Still having some pain here and there but I'm making slow progress. Moving around and stuff, stretching. Developing some kind of routine.

strengthen your muscles a bit might help and vitamins D3,
A routine as in?
A happy weekend.
Unrelated, but mentioning bad habits: I have the tendency to edit replies after sending them, like the one above. Must've been ten times or more. Does that stuff actually cost you a lot? Because I feel like I lost like five to ten dollars in overall wallet value while doing it (happened before, I believe). Yet STEEM seems to be up.
I edit a billion times and even if I believe I didn't make typos or the sentence is.. I edit and edit again and if I read my comments later I edit again and again. BTW I noticed yesterday that the posts I updated are reset back and the edit is mad undone. A super waste of time and power, I really feel bitter about it. I guess that part of the block I post on is crumbling down?
I should start making backups again. Either or the value of my wallet keeps shrinking despite me not posting anything. I assume it's just crypto bein crypto. Still weird to see that it went from over 210 to 170, but the total amount of STEEM seems consistant.

It goes up and down and down or so. I see it if I upvote, not as high. It's about 4 years ago it was high. If you want to invest/work with it, it would have been better to sell and buy when it's low (0.12 or 0.13 or fewer (let's hope not) but that indeed is crypto. So far Trump...

If you look at steemworld.org/@grebmot you can see the VP value at 100%. If it's lower the value dropped.
