A quick cross section of various questions and comments, today:
It would be so silly easy, all of this myopia discussion, if we were all scientists. So, so, so dreamily easy.
Trouble is, a lot of the PDFs and things I link in the science section, are all full of partially unnecessary academic lingo. So unless you’re used to weeding through it, you might be inclined to skip the science due to complete boredom. That’s very common and very unfortunate, since there are literally tens of thousands of studies, substantiating just about everything we discuss here.
I even get optometrists calling my approach “mumbo jumbo”, and then admit they haven’t read one single scientific study I sent them. That’s my life.
Here are some interesting bits, from Cindi:
Did I miss Cindi’s 2.25 diopter, 75% astigmatism reduction success story?
Maybe! My apologies to Cindi, if I neglected to post it. The Jake-e-mail is overloaded with these things most times, and unless I do a screenshot right then, I’m bound to forget to share later.
And just one of the many, many questions I get daily:
Short answer, no. Noooo. Nope. Mais non!
Long answer in this pinhole glasses blog post, by our darling behavioral optometrist friend, Dr. Steve.
Longer long answer, goes back to the first part of this post. The science. If you read the science first, understand how the human eye works (stimulus response system!), then you can answer all those questions for yourself. Strain and stimulus, that’s the whole game. There is no eye yoga, there is no eye vitamin, there is no pinhole-nothing. Quit looking for some new age BS shortcut. Health is no shortcut.
(Actually, my method is already ridiculously, amazingly close to what people would qualify as a proper shortcut.)
Cheers,
