Yulia: 3 Diopters Of Astigmatism – Eliminated!
You hear me talk about 'junk' diopters and about prescription complexity and about using only as much focal plane change as you actually need. Sorting all that out, a big initial part of your road to improving eyesight. Take a look at Yulia's experience, as she updates us in the forum. For reference Yulia came in with -2 diopters of cylinder (astigmatism) in the left eye, and -1D cylinder in the right eye. That's a total of three diopters of [...]
Eye Strain Awareness: Prevent Pseudo Myopia
Eye strain. It's what put you on the path to myopia in the first place. It's insidious because you're eyes are like the slow boiled frog. You don't notice the eye strain as it's been building up over the years. You were doing really fun things (computer games, books) or really challenging things (school tests or job assignments) and before you knew it, your eyes were already strain habituated. And also you probably had pseudo-, or near-induced transient myopia. [...]
Akira (-6.00): “I’m Only 21, Already Have Floaters And High Myopia”
Today, about a 21 year old taking action to keep his eyes. A great story! I look at Youtube like the puppy the kids brought home, the one that looks like he's for sure going to bite somebody (or everybody) before the day is over. Also, that doesn't even look like a puppy, kids. He's at least what, a half dozen years into a maingey existence? But so far the Youtube has been fairly well behaved. Occasionally even giving us something quote-worthy: Ak [...]
Casey: “How Clear Can I Get With The Lasiks?”
Some days I find my finger is stuck, just hovers over the delete button. I feel like if I press down once now, I'm not sure if I can stop. Just keep hitting the button over and over deleting e-mails till everything marked 'reader inquiry' is gone. Just a blank, white screen, task complete. Imagine the moment of peace. All questions averted. Everything I would answer anyway, can be found in the blog. Questions that couldn't be sorted with a search, [...]
(-4.00 Progress) Eye Exam Confirms: 63 Year Old Cuts Myopia In HALF
Can we brag a little bit, kittehs? No, not the post picture. That's just lacking creative ideas today. Go ahead, Jake, you say. Probably no worse than your Instagram. So some days I've got the most awesomest e-mail inbox. It's been overcrowded one lately (since I managed to break myself with an especially dumb self experiment, lucidity to answer e-mails has been lacking). But as I keep digging through the backlog, so much of what I read is like Christmas, over and over. Take a [...]
Optometrist (-5.50 Progress): “Eyes Gone Back To An Older Prescription”
There's one key premise that made me moderately successful in my previous career: Never take anyone's word for things that will be critically important to your decision making. An example: I wasn't an accountant (I'd be the worst accountant, seriously). We'd get these in-house accountant summaries of financials, a neat few pages covering dozens of boxes of paperwork. Everybody was using the summaries. Everybody but Jake. I'd kept an eye on the in-house accountants, and I didn't trust them. I had my own guy (kid in school [...]
