A personal project about achieving the best possible vision.
I became nearsighted as a teenager — from holding an iPod touch too close. Since then I’ve been curious about what daily habits actually do to the eyes.
Vision Lab See experimentsMy nearsightedness started in my teenage years, around the time I spent a lot of time on a small screen very close to my eyes. Over time I became more aware of how things like distance, duration and light might affect comfort and vision.
Instead of ignoring it, I began to pay more attention: keeping more distance to screens, taking intentional breaks, spending time outside – and later running small experiments to see what actually changes.
One goal of Best Eyesight is to build and test tools that make everyday habits more eye-friendly.
A calibration-based vision lab for approximate distance vision self-tests, with optional interventions and history over time.
You can compare different methods, log your distance vision over days and weeks, and see how your visual performance changes.

If you prefer a simpler setup without a position menu, you can choose one of these static HTML versions. Each keeps the score block in a specific place.
These versions also work offline and keep everything inside your browser.
In my experiments I document individual days: what I do with my eyes, how long I use screens, how much distance I keep – and I measure my axial length in the morning. Most of this is recorded in videos.

I documented several experiments in more detail. Each one has a dedicated page with a description, the video, transcript, and optional notes.
You can find all experiments and day logs on YouTube:
