Behind The Scenes. Highly professional outfit that @endmyopia is, behind the scenes is all entirely sanctionable, appropriate, and educationally valuable content.

The Diopter Ratio Trap: Don’t Favor One Eye
If you ever checked your prescription, you might have noticed this:The left eye diopter numbers are different from the right eye diopter numbers. Do you know why this is? Is it because your left eye is actually not seeing as well as your right eye (or vice versa)? Is there something wrong with the balance between your eyes, that the magic of optometry helps correct?Time to break out nope-cat for this one:Every human being who has two eyeballs (some pirates [...]
Roy Is Making Progress: -8.50 To -6.50
The core benefit of BackTo20/20 aren't chiefly the well sorted, carefully structured, consistent-success-producing sessions of instruction. Sure, important stuff. But that's not really what I'd put the largest part of the value of the program on.Really what is worth the most, is the support.I get e-mails quite often, asking me to troubleshoot some Internet vision improvement guide (not my own, but other random stuff). I get requests for BackTo20/20 invites from people who tried other things, and had either no [...]

Stuff I’m Doing When Not Answering Your Questions
I mentioned recently how much I'm not into social media.But the social media manager here, which is an actual position and part of the team, makes a strong case for social. Gracey, our brilliant Twitter captain. Yes, you guys here mostly today, aren't into social (neither am I). But Gracey is a real pro, and she has all the stats and numbers to back up her point. The future is in social media. The future audience, the myopes we want [...]
World Tour February: Tokyo
Following January's Singapore trip, we'll be doing Tokyo in February.As mentioned previously, locations are determined by gentleman-of-leisure priorities rather than student density or other such practical considerations. There's also the detail about staying close to home base, relatively, for a start. Depending on how things go I'll be venturing to Europe and eventually the U.S. later in the year (hopefully). I'm attempting to set future destinations with a bit of notice, so you may have a good excuse for a little [...]
Tweeeeter Things: Tim Ferriss, $200 Vitamin Prescriptions, Optic Shop Infestations
I'm not so big on the social media thing. More crap distractions we honestly don't need.But ...There's the social media minion-manager here at endmyopia, who is also a paid member of the team. And she, probably in some part for job preservation, is quite insistent that I continue to promote the Twitters. And post things. And other stuff, which I do only reluctantly. She's actually pretty awesome. Working hard while I keep sabotaging most of her efforts. And still accumulating what's [...]
