Personal anecdote, I was able to improve my eyesight by getting a 70 inch TV as a monitor and placing it 6 feet away.

I was about -5 and moved to -4.75

What monitor size did you use before that and how far away? (Is this a monitor for the computer? Or for watching movies/TV?)

I am missing the connection here. Why would this improve your eyesight?

If you are nearsighted then it's probably because your eyes are adjusting to close objects like reading and looking at a monitor. Your eyes adapt to their focal length. For example, taxi drivers often get farsighted.
