I had a similar experience about 10 years ago. After wearing glasses/contact
lenses for nearly 30 years to correct nearsightedness that required ~7 diopters or more correction, I was able to see clearly for extended periods of time.
I was able to drive without glasses/lenses on. It was very exciting. Then
it went away and no matter what I tried, internally, which is what I had
attributed this change to, I could not see without my glasses. Much later I
talked to a couple of eye-type professionals, who dismissed this as a patholog-
igcal condition related to inflamation and swelling of my eyeballs, causing
distortion of the eye and changing the focal length.
Oh well....
