I thought that I was the only one with this problem. I have been wearing glasses since I was 44 years old. About 2 years ago I kept thinking that my glasses were dirty as I could not see out of them. My prescription was +3.25 on the left and +3.00 on the right. So I went to the eye doctor...got my eyes checked and he was amazed to find that my eyes got stronger. He order me a pair of weaker glasses. I only word distance glasses as I could not get used to bifocals. iI could see so well that I was forgetting to put them on. Within 3 months the new glasses now were too strong. I now wear no glasses. I can read a telephone book without any glasses...distance or close....perfect vision. Now, here is the best part. I am having cataracts removed so I can see better. Gee, I should then be able to see through walls. It will be interesting when the cataracts are removed. Question: How the heck am I getting along with no glasses and perfect vision....has anyone hear this before?

My myopia also improved significantly a few years ago. I am in my seventies. I went from 5.50 to 3.75 in one eye and similar in the other eye. I could if I had to now watch tv without glasses or contact lenses. Something I have never been able to do before. Obviously my sight is better whilst wearing my glasses or contact lenses but in an emergency I could see tv without them. My prescription has had to be altered for the better twice in the last two years.
Perhaps this is age-related farsightedness, compensating for myopia.
