There's an interesting group of sea gypsies living off the Burmese archipelago. They live half of their life on ships and therefore often dive into the sea to catch food and even pearls.
What's interesting about these people is that they can dive deep into the sea - as much as 75 feet deep - without any diving equipment. If you know a little something about diving, then you would know that it's "impossible" to dive that deep without equipment.
For one, the amount of water would shift light rays in such a way that it would not land properly onto the retina - which means you wouldn't be able to see at all.
But these sea gypsies were able to see that deep in the ocean. Scientists have always assumed that the expansion of our pupil in the sea is a reflexive reaction - but these sea gypsies contracted their pupils instead of expanded them.
How could that be?
This is but one of the many examples how our brain can adapt our eyes to see what it couldn't before. What has this got to do with you?
Fact is, your brain couldn't tell the difference between reality and daydreaming. The same neurons would fire when you see and when you imagine. Therefore imagination plays a big role in improving your eyesight. All you have to do is imagine yourself being able to see clearly without your glasses and your brain will shift its neuronal links to suit your needs.
