Could you describe a bit more about how you've re-trained your eyes with an eye chart?

I downloaded a Snellen chart, and put it up on the wall. I practice twice a day. I read somewhere that you can also have a closer chart and a distance chart and to swap looking at each throughout the day.

Of course, you could memorize the letters, but that isn't really helping you. What you want to do is to focus on the blurry point, try to make out the letters. Over time, you'll slowly find that you are able to improve.

Previously, when I was younger, I just focused on getting outside more and trying to read signs that were far off in the distance, or ensure that I was looking at far distant objects regularly.
