The Holographic Principle and a Teapot

This is precisely the exercise I was encouraged to do when I
started complaining about difficulty focusing on the distance
chalk/display boards at university. It contributed to my not
having to wear glasses all my life.

That's good that you were able to do that and now you
don't need glasses.

I do have to wear glasses and when I was younger I didn't
know there were exercises you could do to strengthen your
eye sight.

If you are nearsighted, you can still do them and note modest
improvement in a few minutes. Ultimately what the exercises do
is train your eye to relax (parallax view) and strengthen the
outer muscles. After a set of these, even reading close is
improved.

I've gotten into the habit of doing them over the years
whenever I felt images at a distance seemed out of focus. When
you do them long enough you learn what it feels like and can do
them without the aide of the 3D images like the teapot.

I also learned to do them in reverse, by crossing the eyes and
focusing at a distance. That strengthens the opposite muscles.

But both techniques improve distance viewing immediately.
