I suffer myopia to the extent where my hand goes blurry at an arm's length, and have been using corrective lenses since age 8. I've consulted multiple friends in the medical field & all were left pretty dumbfounded by this occurrence, but not as much as I was when vision in my left eye had miraculously returned for a day, allowing me to read small text from quite a distance.
This seemed to be caused by stress, as I had been overworking, staring at my laptop screen overnight, using caffeine, THC (admittedly), & sustenance to fuel my all-nighter, which lasted until the following night. My diet is vegetarian & consists of eggs, vegetables, nuts & legumes, & fruit. On this night/morning particularly I had been consuming eggs, beets, carrots, & of course coffee. This only occurred in the one eye and, as I expected/feared, reset subsequent to the following night's rest.
I thoroughly enjoyed this ability that had been lost since youth, but naturally, became preoccupied with what this could suggest. Under these set of circumstances I was allowed to see with near perfect vision, could I perhaps regain it through other means? What was the cause of myopia to begin with?
My vision loss was rather sudden in retrospect. Although an unpopular theory, I was exposed to parasites (by water or food) at the time in a South America, & suffered many other symptoms. They can inhabit every area of the body via the bloodstream, & can cause blindness by intraocular localization, one in particular called mansonella perstans (also known as "floaters"). It also may be important to note my eyes are large, almost appearing swollen. Is it possible this concoction of circumstance upset their balance enough to restore my vision?
My research has mostly come up empty in regards to an event like this, perhaps I understand too little of optometry to correctly investigate, please help!
