That's because I have lived with it for 53 years of my life.
That's also because it kept changing its intensity in my eyes both ways, from worse to better as well as from better to worse, in my different eyes during my journey from my childhood to my adulthood, on its own!
That's also because at age 53, one fine morning it vanished into thin air in one single second!
That's also because I didn't let it vanish like that on its own without telling me its whole story before saying good-bye to me.
I caught hold of it. My body (not yet I!) learnt ways to get rid of it as well as call it back at will!
My body had sided with me against my myopia.
As if I had developed an affair with my body.
Normal Eye
Every time it swung in or out of its myopia, it invited me to have a date with itself so that I was able to study what it was doing when it was going in into its myopia, and what it was doing when it was coming out of its myopia.
Myopia
Body is always more intelligent than mind.
But we, on earth, work with our minds.
I am my mind.
I kept trying to learn from my body what exactly it was doing whenever it was performing the feat it had learnt to perform accidentally one fine morning, in one single second!
I was dating my body but I didn't know its language; nor did it know, mine!
And as the child learns its first language from its mother, so did I.
I made mistakes on the way, exactly like the child speaks wrong language in the beginning.
But the mother always keeps her cool.
My body also kept its patience in teaching me the language, I never had known.
I kept playing with my myopia through my body!
I would increase it at times so that my vision went blurred to its maximum - I guess, it must have been to the tune of -20 diopter.
Hyperopia
And not only myopia; at others, I would turn it into hyperopia or presbyopia (both are same, but for the age difference - in presbyopia, the lens goes hard too!).
Still at other times, I would play with complicating my myopia or hyperopia by adding astigmatism to either of them.
Astigmatism
My body had learnt a great language which it was finding difficult to teach to my mind!
It took me two long years to learn this language in all its subtleties from my body, and today I know about myopia as well as other errors of refractive index, more than authentic ophthalmology does.
Technically everyone knows what ophthalmology tells about myopia.
Look at the eye diagram to see what causes the problem.
Normal Eye
When the eyes focus on close-up objects for extended periods of time, the body tends to slouch.
Why?
Because the eyes are not meant to focus on close-up objects for extended periods of time!
When the eye focuses on a close-up object, it is required to elongate the eyeball for its image to be focused on the retina.
It's not the ciliary muscle that does the needful by fattening the crystalline lens as believed and authentically stated by mainstream ophthalmology.
Keeping eyeball elongated for extended periods of time tires the oblique muscles responsible for the job if the body is sitting or standing in the correct posture.
The body soon discovers (unconsciously!) that if it slouches, it (the slouch) somehow (through distorting jaws attached to temporomandibular joints) gives support to the oblique muscles to stay contracted and keep the eyeball elongated.
Myopia
The eyes now comfortably keep focusing on close-up objects for extended periods of time!
The body goes forgetting, slowly and gradually, that there was any erect (correct) posture it ever used to stay in (not a crude erect, it's very subtle in its process of re-erecting itself correcting jaw-line along too!).
The slouch goes habitual.
Also unconscious!
The jaw-line goes permanently distorted.
But only habitually.
Only functionally! Not structurally!!
The temporomandibular joint shifts its location permanently (don't worry, only habitually and not structurally!).
The body forgets all.
The wrong posture establishes itself. So does myopia!

The right goes unconscious!
We have to re-learn this right posture in order to open our third eye and correct myopia; and luckily the process is instantaneously reversible.

Only the muscles in the back and the muscles on the face feel a bit uneasy in the beginning as they had gone into a habit of staying wrongly contracted since quite long!
I have a documentary support also available for what all I have said above, in the words of the famous American ophthalmologist Dr. W.H.Bates written almost a century ago, but ophthalmology never cared enough to give attention to it, only because his procedure took a lot of time, whereas today we can do it instantaneously!
No problem, sooner or later it will have to; later if not sooner!
I'll better reproduce Dr. Bates' words only:
'In seeking for light upon these problems I examined tens of thousands of eyes, and the more facts I accumulated the more difficult it became to reconcile them with the accepted views.'
'Finally, about half a dozen years ago, I undertook a series of observations upon the eyes of human beings and the lower animals the results of which convinced both myself and others that the lens is not a factor in accommodation, and that the adjustment necessary for vision at different distances is affected in the eye, precisely as it is in the camera, by a change in the length of the organ, this alteration being brought about by the action of the muscles on the outside of the globe.'
'Equally convincing was the demonstration that errors of refraction, including presbyopia, are due, not to an organic change in the shape of the eyeball, or in the constitution of the lens, but to a functional and therefore curable derangement in the action of the extrinsic muscles.'
'In making these statements I am well aware that I am controverting the practically undisputed teaching of ophthalmological science for the better part of a century; but I have been driven to the conclusions which they embody by the facts, and that so slowly that I am now surprised at my own blindness.'
'At the time I was improving high degrees of myopia; but I wanted to be conservative, and I differentiated between functional myopia, which I was able to cure, or improve, and organic myopia, which, in deference to the orthodox tradition, I accepted as incurable.'
'Surprised at my own blindness' - only a man of his integrity could have admitted to such a blunder as this that he once had committed against his own scientific findings, out of his hesitation to out-rightly go controverting the authentic and established ophthalmic theory that was his legacy as well!
But why fear calling a spade a spade?
