William: -2.00 Reduced To No Glasses 20/20 Vision
It's time to catch up on some of the guru e-mail. Prepare for a colorful multitude of improvement reports today! First up, William: So close. Last diopter, always the tricky one. See the low myopia section of the blog. And here's Jaqueline having made more than the average progress of a year of improving eyesight, with 1.25 plastic focal plane diopters eliminated already: Solid progress. Yes, today was (yet again) meant to finally write a quick post about the mystically revelatory [...]
Rachel: The Power Of Emotions (Risky Topic!)
Don't discount the power of emotions in your journey to improving eyesight. Yes, an old eye guru scoffs at this sort of thing from time to time. And that's not because emotions aren't important - but rather because first you have to understand primary causality, biology, and science. You need to look at factors that can be quantified and scientifically validated. You need to train yourself to think critically and logically when dealing with self improvement. Otherwise you're at risk [...]
Q&A: Can I Reduce More Diopters For More Gains?
Generally speaking, you can reduce by 0.50 diopters - but quite likely you shouldn’t. In some cases (high myopia) it can make sense to do so – see here a more detailed breakdown. But then also reducing diopters more just means that you’re reducing your distance to blur. Seen clearly less far doesn’t really improve your vision at all – so does it make sense to make your diopter bubble smaller by half diopter? Stimulus is key to improvement. Blur [...]
Wayne, Joseph, Paul: Sharing Progress Updates
Today, let's look at a few improvement reports, status updates, thoughts and musings. First up, Joseph: Sure, "eyes wanted more diopters". Caveat emptor, with the lens sellers. All Joseph needs now to keep making the 20/20 gains is to work on a good outdoor habit. Walks with active focus, or some hobby involving using distance vision. Pretty simple from there to keep reducing the plastic lens focal planes. Next up, a post from Wayne in the BackTo20/20 support forum: I'm [...]
Amanda’s Daughter: 20/63 Improved To 20/40 (In One Month!)
Child myopia? It's not a thing! There's literally no good reason to let your children become profit centers for mainstream optometry. Literally none, unless you don't feel like doing the annoying you-know-what thing - actual parenting. And as a darling eye guru is discovering having a 2 year old now, actual parenting indeed is a giant pain. Having a large extended family and lots of frequent visitors, some days it feels that all I do is swat away phone [...]
Kavish’ Optometrist Report: 20/20 By Dec 2018?
The guru time clock is ticking fast, my darling kittehs. Jakey must make it to the embassy today, and the cranky Chinese Hong Kong wizard watch maker, and the bank, and deal with stuffy suits on two conference calls, and then also look for particularly dumb ideas in a three mile long spreadsheet. That's before the afternoon list of to do things. And the endmyopia-work-time clock says 11 minutes remaining. So that's 11 minutes to post at least one improvement [...]
