i dont know if this occured to anyone but has anyone considered using cut onions  (or lachrymatory agents) for myopia? just cut a bunch of onions and the Sulfenic acid gases should dissipate into the air and stimulate you eyes. i was just wondering if it may work for stimulating ocular muscles and tears http://en.wikipedia....#Eye_irritation seriously someone cut up a bunch of onions 3 feet away from where im at and my eye strain seems to have gone away..

after further thought maybe a form of hydrating sprays that effect the eye, you spray a fine mist and it hydrates the eyes to make the ocular muscles relax? also what about  utilizing a form of mild static or electrical shock on ocular muscles? it works on muscle training so perhaps also it can work for myopia? should be much cheaper then dopamine agents.


Stimulating tear production does subjectively seem to reduce my experience of eye strain. Onions may be the exception since they actuay produce an itchy sensation around my eyes.

Hi guys, great discussion. Atropine is mentioned in previous posts, but this article states Atropine 0.01%, as opposed to 1%, minimizes side effects while retaining comparable efficacy.
