Headaches With Glasses? Here’s What You Should Know
Put on glasses and get a headache? You are absolutely right that the glasses have something to do with your brain complaining. You should never, ever experience any sort of adverse symptom when wearing glasses. No funny "pulling" sensation in your eye, no headache, and no dry eyes. The reason glasses may give you a headache, is an incorrect focal plane somewhere in one (or both) of those lenses. Your visual cortex, tasked with interpreting the visual signal from your [...]
Pro Topic: Double Vision Ruining Your Life?
Have you ever heard me say ... the forum is gold? Yes Jake, you say. You're saying it all the time. But unless you're one of the big ballers in the very shiny, very exclusive BackTo20/20 club (from where Jake get all the yacht-fuel monies), you don't get to see most of it. Or you wouldn't if I didn't magnanimously frequently post some of the highlights here, in the common-people blog. Joking. Love for everyone, (almost) equally! Here's the deal, [...]
Peak At My E-Mail Inbox (-4.00, No Glasses, Etc)
Every day has a three hour window of Jake-time for @endmyopia. Some days its a bit more, others a bit less. I keep track of it, make sure it averages out to about three hours. The three hour rule helps to solve time sucking problems, instead of just accepting to have to work longer.

A little background, first:You are starting out your vision improvement with what's a complicated mess of a prescription. There's going to be a diopter ratio [...]
Pro Topic: Switching From Contacts To Glasses (For Close-Up)
As you probably already know, the single prescription paradigm of mainstream optometry is the #1 contributing cause of progressive myopia. Glasses intended to correct the focal plane for distance, cause all sorts of problems when used for close-up (not the least of which being hyperopic defocus, stimulating unwanted axial elongation). But that's not news to you, if you visit here regularly. You know that you need to account for close-up, with the correct focal plane change for the distance. [...]
Semi Secret Low Myope No-Glasses Trick
Matthew posts in the forum: Original thread If you have forum access, I suggest you hop over for a quick read of my comment to Matthew, for some low myope tips. Short version: You want to focus on equalizing when you're that close to getting rid of your glasses altogether. Why? Because it reduces the subjective disruption of your vision when you take off your glasses. Having different focal planes for left and right eye with glasses, then not having [...]
