I had something very strange occur to me. I realized one of my eyes was weaker than the other; specifically my right eye (I’m right handed, right footed I suppose). I would every so often close one eye, then the other, just to compare and to see if I can help strengthen the weaker eye. I was aware of EndMyopia, Hormesis theory etc.

I went in to get an endoscopy done one day. They put me under for it for about 15 minutes or so. Not sure which sedative they used. Did the usual “count to three” trick where you’re out in less than a second.

After I woke up, some hours later I noticed that my weak eye had cleared up and the other one was now the weak one.

This effect went away some hours thereafter. Since then, I’ve often wondered what in the world could have caused that reversal.

When I use something like “active focus” (consciously and voluntarily shifting the focal plane) I can get the weak eye to clear up a bit. Sunlight helps immensely as well.



Ciliary spasm which was temporarily inhibited by the anesthesia?
