And thats why there hasnt been much progress for my eyes. I have discipline for sure, for others and my conduct, but I believe its just a mental discipline for me. To stay focus and resist temptation. Thats why I am seriously reconsidering my major for college. Because with my eyes at its current health, I won't be able to do much and it will just bring further stress and anxiety, things that I am already experiencing now.

I have used these exercises for years to strengthen my eyes I read many hours a day, both on computers and print books.
Your eyes are muscles and you need to EXERCISE them.
The muscles are weak from only doing one type of activity, in addition to these exercises, frequent walks outdoors where you focus on he horizon as much as possible will help.
At the above link, you can sign up for free daily tips / suggestions on healing your eyes, you do not need to buy anything, I get lots of free great info from such mailing lists, so give it a go, it's free and you will be giving yourself subtle mental conditioning regarding your eyes by reading such articles.
That will help somewhat with your negative self-talk which in my view is sabotaging your efforts.
You feel as thought the thing you love to do is hurting you, and this creates chaos.
Well it is not hurting you, it is your ATTITUDE and thoughts that create the conflict.
You can make peace with your situation by affirming that
"I intend to strengthen my eyes daily, while acknowledging they are weak"
By using this type of affirmation, you cease to deny your present reality, while creating the new one you desire. When we deny "what is" we create resistance in ourselves.
I suggest a routine of contrasts, try going outdoors just before or after your PC reading/work or go outdoors Before and After your work, you need exercise anyway, so you may as well, and exercise your eyes outdoors is far more beneficial than indoors, as you can look much further away into the horizon, pretend you are a hunter/gatherer spotting prey on the horizon, at night, gaze into the stars, for as long as you can. If it is cold, wrap up WARM, no excuses! Do not let a weak mind fool you, cold air is invigorating and breathe deeply while outdoors for increased oxygen to all cells of your body and to help clean the blood and remove waste products.
These are natural uses of our eyes that modern man neglects.
"Use it or lose it" applies to all our muscles, including our eyes.
"Life is movement, you stop moving, you die"
Consider the following - Your body is composed of atoms and is mostly empty space, the intelligence, or Consciousness that holds it together is "you". You are a field of awareness, a vibrating bundle of energy, only around 10% of you is physical. The patterns that energy forms are DRIVEN by your intelligence, by your beliefs and attitude.
Stop "trying" to heal and just be. Make peace with your situation, maybe you will NEVER heal, accept this first, make your peace with it and forget all ideas of healing for a few days.
Then, after a "break/holiday " from your admirable efforts, which at present are causing perhaps too much psychological strain for your body to make any sense of the conflicting signals you are sending it -
after that break, start with some gentle intentions, very very gently suggest to yourself, and Imagine how you want your eyes to be, but acknowledge that also this may not happen, and this is okay, you must have love for yourself and the process.
Do your meditation / intention / visualisation, gently, but focused but only for 5-10 minutes a day, and THAT IS IT! No more. More than this and you set up too much stress and struggle, you must be gentle and consistent your habits and intentions.
Focus on doing this for 5 minutes a days, for one month, and do the eye exercises two times a day, or whenever you do your computer work, before, during or after, as well as the outside part.
I make no guarantees, but do this faithfully for one month, with total love, acceptance and peace and see for yourself the results.
By all means listen to doctors etc, but try this process for four weeks, what harm can it do? It costs you nothing, nothing but your conscious attention.
