Vision has little to do with muscles-it is the shape of the orb itself. That’s why in LASIK they reshape part of the eye. Not wearing your glasses/contacts will do nothing other than give you a headache from squinting.

Jenny asks…
convergence insufficiency?
i went to my eye therapist and she told me that my eye convergence has gone. She tested it out and it all came normal. I have been doing the exercises for 2 months now. My eye age was 46 i am 14 but it went down dramatically. She has referred me to an ophthalmologist because my blurry vision is still giving me a a problem. The symptoms were pretty bad last week but it got better however my blepharitis has started bothering me, probably from the strain. Why do you think my eyes are still having blurred vision

If you are engaged in “vision therapy” you are wasting your time. It will do nothing for you. Convergence training (i.e. ‘pencil pushups’) work well for convergence insufficiency, but only need to be done a few times daily. “My eye age was 46″ is gibberish as well as meaningless.
If you have blepharitis, lid hygiene will help immensely. Washing your eyelids daily will remove the junk that builds up on them, as well as making sure that the oils your glands produce remain in the oil form. You should notice your blurred vision improving by practicing these simple techniques.
Stop seeing this “eye therapist” immediately.

John asks…
Pseudotumor Cerebri question.?
I was diagnosed about 3 months ago. After having my spinal tap and being given diamox, my vision went back to normal and the pain behind my right eye stopped. I have even lost 5% of my body weight and have been exercising, drinking water, eating better etc. However, I woke up this morning and my vision in my right eye is going and I had the pain behind it again.
I have a doctor’s apt 2 weeks from yesterday. I am not sure if I should call the doctor tomorrow or just let it wait for a couple of weeks since I know what is wrong and have the meds. What else could they really do?? I have seen online that having the paid and the vision loss can be an emergency- should I go? Or should I call the after hours number for the doctor?

You should go to the Emergency Room and have your pressure checked as soon as possible.
