Can Crooked Glasses Make Your Eyesight Worse?
In the course we talk about prescription use in a number of installments. I also have an entire category of paid support that includes prescription suggestions. The reason for this is of course that prescriptions significantly affect your eyesight health.As you likely already know from reading the myopia basics, all of your myopia past the first -1.50 diopters is likely caused by nothing other than your prescription glasses. Glasses seriously affect your eyesight!At the same time, I often make your [...]
Improve Your Eyes With This Fun Maze Game
I always refer to using letters and text in general, when working on pushing or pulling focus. Unlike other objects, text has the significant benefit of giving you feedback - if you don't see a tree leaf, you won't know it. But if you can't read half of the letters in a word, you surely do! This is why you want to use writing as a reference tool for your focus work, a ubiquitous feature both near and far, most [...]

Nate’s Progress: -6.75 to -3.25
Nate posts in the forum: A quick question about when to decrease normalized prescription. I started with a prescription of -6.75. I heard about myopia rehab at gettingstronger, and did it on my own for about 2 years. At the start of this year I had a trip to the optometrist, and was told that my fully corrected prescription was -4.75. I started the year with a normalized prescription of -4.25.

Preventing & Reversing Child Myopia: Practical Considerations

I also tried to teach him to “pull focus” in the distance. For the last month, [...]
