Here's some of the science behind what I think is happening here:
I hypothesize that this works based on the subconscious communication principle I outlined in other posts of mine. For example, my GF isn't a biologist or a psychologist, but she is one of the smartest people I've ever met, and due to our vast communication with each other she knows everything I know about bio-feedback control of the body, due to my teaching her and making sure she grasps what I'm talking about since she finds it so interesting.
The circulation enhancement is likely based around Win Wenger's blood flow increasing visualization, and things like Louis Pugh (the arctic swimmer) who goes through what his physiologist called "Anticipatory Thermogenesis" wherein he mentally psychs himself up by meditating to gangster rap music, and in so doing his body temperature skyrockets. It does this partly through a HUGE vasodilation process. These prove mechanisms for the mind
willing an increase in circulation, which would supremely jack occular health.
The increase in strength/responsiveness of the focusing muscles of the eye also have mental components, as in the Manchester University studies that showed muscle development through hypnosis, and octo-genarian geriatric studies which show improvement in strength through nerve communication alone (since octo-genarians don't typically build muscle) achieved through visualization.
And then couple that with the electro-bodysculpting I blather on about all the time, to essentially reshape the eyes to an optimal condition through visual feedback. What I mean by that is, as you look at things and they're out of focus, you might be subconsciously altering your biocurrents to sculpt your eyes one way, and if that makes it worse, then your electrical biofeedback will have your eyes sculpt themselves a different way until you achieve the clarity of vision you seek.
Add to this that retinal cells are some of the fastest, if not the fastest, regenerating cells in the body, and you have an explanation for rapid results.
Top this up with the brain aspects of visual processing that seem to have asserted themselves (GF with her ability to spot things despite lots of crazy details), and there you have it. Explanations for how this likely works.
As a side note, GF reports tonight that her distant vision is continuing to improve, but what really grabs her is the way things just JUMP RIGHT OUT at her. She's enjoying the heck out of it.
