Paul’s Progress: -2.00 to -1.25 (in 3.5 months)

Here’s Paul’s progress report from the forum:

Hi Jake,

long overdue, but today I will add to your unicorn farm of progress reports, with some questions attached.

So how is it going?
I started at the End of July, so approximately 3,5 months into the program.

I started with prescriptions between -1.75 and -2.00 and I noticed my eyes were getting worse (that’s another reason I joined this program).

After some starting issues I did one lesson everyday and started to notice differences in focus and clarity.

Today I’m wearing my old glasses (which look stupid, but have the -1.25 on both eyes, which you recommended as a normalized prescription. I don’t have to buy new glasses for now, which is good).

In October I was on vacation for 3 weeks, which got me a lot of outdoor & distance vision, while minimizing my near focus. On the negative side I was wearing contact lenses all the time. Gladly I ordered the reduced prescriptions (-1.25) before leaving, otherwise my eyes would probably have worsened. (I also kept my centimeter log during this time, but did almost no active focus or anything else.)

I was a bit discouraged when I came back to see that my CM has decreased from the mid-60s to 58-60.

I still continued to measure, do the breaks and get outside. Which was good.

This morning I measured 70cm for the first time! This is amazing. I can see 20/20 on the eye chart with the normalized prescription and almost 20/16 in the morning. At the evening 20/20 as well (if I’m not on the PC all the time).

I’m still not doing the active focus enough and all the other exercises, but I want to include those as well in my routine (rereading some previous lessons).

My current goal is to get to -1.00 on both eyes, hopefully in the next few months. If it does take longer, that’s no problem.

Jake, I want to thank you again. This morning I read #49 on how to “prevent burnout” which was really encouraging. Thanks for finally giving me the chance to ditch those glasses for good, without getting lasik (which I was thinking about).

I hope we’ll one day meet in person so I can thank you then :).

I thought I had some questions up to this point, but not so far! I will post them if the come up again 

Best,
Paul

Keep those eyeballs healthy!
