CooperVision: “Treat Myopia With Contact Lenses”
Blog header image contains no political preference innuendo. Maybe you wonder ... where does all the optometry disinformation come from? Why do doctors tell you plain and utter nonsense, things you can conclusively disprove with a quick Google scholar search?They get it from people they trust, established "leaders" in their industry. If you don't read much optometry industry "news", you are spared a lot of head shaking. Your darling host Jake literally has an appointment for Monday, for an osteopath [...]
Brittany (-4.00): Improved!
You know the drill. BackTo20/20. Great, structured, bite-sized, 20-minutes-at-a-time sessions. And the forum with thousands of searchable stories and per-student breakdown of questions and updates. And my personal support for all your specific questions. It's great stuff. But because I'm part hippie (or perhaps just worried about my lifetime karma points), I sneak plenty into the blog here, so anyone sufficiently motivated can absolutely just freeload the key concepts. Options abound here, there are no excuses to have to live [...]

Optometrist OBSESSED (In A Good Way)
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristWhen Jake asked me to experience this program, I was intrigued and excited. But I had no idea I would become ever-so-slightly obsessed with it. And I didn't realise this until yesterday, 2 months into the program, when I went to the beach.But it wasn't to swim, or to suntan, that I went.It was to get some uninterrupted distance vision, a bit of peripheral vision and some active focus. That's what I do at the beach these [...]
“You Could Change Axial Length With Certain Lenses”
“When I started practice, [the cause of myopia] was genetic or due to a near environment,” Jeffrey Cooper, MS, OD, FAAO, said. “It was one or the other. Early experimentation showed that (in animals), if the eye was occluded, the axial length grew.Animal models showed you could change the axial length by putting certain lenses on the eyes. The peripheral portion was found to regulate growth.”And if by "certain lenses", we mean the ones you're wearing right now, for old [...]
Reversing Myopia: It’s IMPOSSIBLE
Time for a little video edit!Especially with the Internet, I hear the word impossible a whole lot, when it comes to what we talk about here @endmyopia. Oh, it's impossible!You know what? If the process of arriving at that conclusion is even remotely potentially entertaining, or if you find that it wasn't impossible after all you might have a significant win at the end ... you might as well go find out for yourself, what's what. It's way more fun to end [...]
