General Vision Health Topics. Mostly we talk about myopia here, which we don’t consider to be an illness. While on that subject we do often end up crossing over into related issues that you may encounter, while working to reduce your myopia.
Everything from dry eyes, to the dangers of certain antibiotics, to risks of retinal detachment and glaucoma and lattice degeneration, you’ll find all the vision health related topics in this category.
📺 Size Matters
Here's a quick Daily Beard episode on why screen size matters. Quick tl;dr (dw?): You're always going to be tempted to hold smaller screens, closer. And closer of course means more focusing muscle tension, more spasm, more strain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdLH60TgqEs More video, less text posts. Times we're living in! Cheers, take care of them darling eyeballs. -Jake
Neck Vs. Eye Movement: Impact Of Glasses
We've been expanding lately, from just talking about myopia causes and ways to deal with the problem - to why you should actually bother with any of this in the first place. Because for most people, the problem with glasses isn't apparent. No big deal, walking around life and the world with some plastic strapped to the front of your face. Surely, that won't have cascading effects all over, as your body probably won't even notice this change in physiology. [...]
Eye Exercises For Myopia – MUST READ Before Trying!
Eye exercises for myopia are the single most searched term on Google when searching for improving eyesight methods. Eye exercises. For myopia. It's a good hunch. Now first, for some context.

I love them, they're amazing, they're 95% of what keeps me going creating these free [...]
Myopia, Glasses, Destroyed Vision: Did They Hack You?
Ever been to the zoo, see broken looking wild animals in their cages? You're thinking, nobody goes to the zoo anymore Jake. Don't be melodramatic about some patchy old depressed looking toothless tiger in some five dimes zoo. But that's exactly the problem. "Bad" eyes, no teeth, same difference. Your brain isn't all that different from your phone or your laptop in interesting ways. Your brain is running an operating system, a large set of rules that govern how [...]
Is Myopia Genetic? (Video)
"Sorry, dahhhling. Your myopia, it's genetic." Here's the bottom line, before we fully get into this topic. If a 'doctor' says those words to you, then he or she is an idiot. You're thinking, Jake. That's a bit harsh. But it's true. For you or me not to know how genetics work is excusable. And actually if you consider a doctor to be an individual who collects information from you about a series of symptoms and then sells you some [...]
