I get a fair bit of e-mail from readers who try various vision improvement methods prior to finding endmyopia.
Sometimes they start with promising results, but rarely lasting ones.
Most of those programs have some “breakthrough” premise (tempting!), a well packaged theme perhaps, sometimes using recognizable names (the “Bates Method” and others), or some person with supposedly fancy credentials and camera-ready poses, promising you the moon.
None of that here. All I’ve got for you is building good habits around strain management and positive stimulus. That’s it. Nothing fancy in Jake-town.
But sometimes that’s exactly what you need, the nothing fancy:
Love these e-mails. Thanks Cheryl!
The less work you have to do to be “sold” on a method, the more suspect it should be. Whenever there’s some theme that sounds really tempting or complicated or otherwise not making you want to do your own research, you should stop yourself and wonder what’s hiding behind all that marketing.
I’ve read some truly outlandish claims from supposed M.D.’s, some with large followings, things are 100% complete nonsense, pseudoscience sales tactics.
What can you find in Google Scholar, to substantiate what you’re being told?
That’s always my first question, when I look at new ideas online.
Cheers,
