We are like moles, only able to focus on what is close and in front of us. Previous generations stared across open vistas while farming. I wonder if they were more prone than farsightedness?

Too much time in front of a screen.
Mostly correct I think.

The problem is a solution is so readily available with glasses, contacts, and reading glasses/cheaters... hear me out on this. I'm into optics more in a scientific sense but I'm interested in the optics of the eye too. Your eyes are like any other part of your body that get better with training or gets worse with not being worked. The eye is more or less elastic and muscles contract to elongate the eye so your lens can focus the image on the retina. If you don't work those muscles they become less effective, further if you don't "flex" your eye it becomes less elastic. Double whammy, and corrective lenses exasperate this further by making you not have to work at it to focus on something.

A couple years ago I noticed my near vision was going, not being able to focus on something very close to my face. Something very typical with getting older I was told. I started working on it, I don't know if you could call it exercises or not but I got it all back. I've also reduced my prescription by 0.75 diopters over the last couple years and I'm expecting another 0.25 drop next time I see my optometrist. I think if people worked at it they could make their vision better and require less correction in their lenses, instead the trend seems to be to add more correction so your eyes don't have to do anything to focus.

I had extraordinary vision until a few years ago when I started doing needle work and my decent thru cheater strengths happened rapidly. I've been using most of this program (haven't ordered the eye wash yet and didn't take the sun exposure seriously.) but it seems to work. It's free if you have dropbox and well worth the read. The exercises take about 15 mins per day. I've learned to change the way I read, both screen and print which has made a huge difference along with cupping which relaxes my eyes immediately if I've dropped the ball and exhausted my eyes. Watching the video, I learned why the sun exposure is key (it's recommended but I didn't focus on it) so I will be ensuring I get the daily sunglasses free time. I come from a long line of women who didn't believe medical diagnoses and healed in spite of being given incurable outcomes so I have no doubt that a year from now my vision will be back to where it was. I appreciate that c-m posted, it was well worth the watch...

More than any generation we have our eyes glued on a computer screen, tablet or smart phone all day.

I have the opposite problem. I'm farsighted and now for the first time have to wear reading glasses. I noticed it first when I had trouble reading food labels.

The only thing I have going for me is good vision, except when I look in the mirror.

Same here. Ive noticed it getting worse since I turned 40, and now I really can't read without them. Not well anyway. Never mind trying to read menus in dark restaurants. Now I totally understand why my parents used to get so irritated about how dark restaurants always were.
