How To Choose a Differential Glasses Prescription If You Have High Astigmatism
There's a recent thread in the forum where I spent quite a bit of time answering some questions that tend to come up a lot. It's relevant for just about anyone starting out with healthier prescription management, and a good primer if you need some pointers. I really do need to get a good FAQ for this aspect. The blog format isn't entirely ideal to keep key topics from disappearing into the archives! Brandon asks in the forum: I just [...]
A Doctor’s Job: Gather Symptoms, Identify Illness, Match With Prescription or Procedure
This article, a bit off-topic, is to provide a bit of perspective on what a doctor (most doctors, certainly not all) does for you. Not intended as a judgment, I merely mean this to help you identify the potential flaws of the current treatment paradigm.

How Optometrists And Poor Prescriptions Choices Can Hurt Your Eyesight
The eye is a dynamic construct. It is designed to see in bright light and in near darkness. Up-close and at great distances. It has an incredibly complex focusing mechanism, and billions of receptor sites to read the image received by your retinas. Glasses on the other hand, are a very primitive solution.

Jean-Pierre asks in the forum: Edge of blur for left eye at -1.75 is ~55cm, for right eye 62cm. I think my left eye is challenged a bit at my working distance of 60cm, while the right one has it easy. So, should I go to -1.75/-1.5, or should I trust that my left eye will “catch up” ? *** Be kind to your eyes. We often talk about how you can't just get rid of your glasses. Living in [...]
