Astigmatism. The correction that is exceedingly rare in actual necessity. Yes, you probably didn’t actually have astigmatism the first time they gave you glasses with correction for it. Surprised? Incredulous? Not sure what to think?
Browse this section for science about astigmatism, how-to guides, and a whole lot of students who successfully reversed their lens-induced astigmatism. Odds are you won’t need this complex focal plane correction for long!
Shipley: -3.75 Down To -1.75 (and HUGE astigmatism reduction)
Let's have another gains update today. GAINNNNNNNZ. This one in particular, since it includes a huge drop in cylinder, which really makes it easier to reduce your lens dependence. It's one thing to take off glasses and just have a closer blur horizon, but a whole different to take off the glasses and get a bunch of directional blur (double vision, ghosting). Here we go, Shipley's update: Way to go. Note of course, as always: Don't monkey with diopters, unless [...]
Amanda: -8.00 & -2.25 Cyl (!) Reduced To -5.75 & NO Astigmatism
Is astigmatism real, Jakey? Can I reverse my astigmatism, Jake? Can I? Can I, though???????? This, a question that's one of the many recurring themes in an old guru's inbox. Nevermind that there's an entire separate category here just on astigmatism or the countless improvement reports discussing astigmatism reversal. Because honestly, reading. What a bore. A beard shrugged. None of this applies to you because you're fully old school, reading written words and whatnot. You even put up with all [...]
Teh Astigmatizms: Retail Optometry Bets That You’re Retarded
And if they're right, then you'll give them money. What an awesome business! Yes, astigmatism is (largely) a thing created by retail optometry. If you're not new here and already understand basic vision biology, then this may come as no surprise. Getting "your eyes checked" is the most basic sales ploy of all sales ploys. You could literally have 20/15 vision without glasses, and you'll STILL be sold something: The f*ckwittery of retail optometry truly knows no bounds. It's almost [...]
Child Astigmatism – ‘Cured’?
Does your child have ... *gasp*, astigmatism? Let me give you the sagely holy eye guru analysis, right through this here computer screen. Give it just a moment for the mystical guru powers to reach through your router, through your computer, through your screen. Wait for it. Waaaiiiit for it. NO YOUR CHILD DOESN'T HAVE ASTIGMATISM. Wow. That was just amazing, wasn't it? Of course astigmatism exists. It's just that astigmatism is so exceedingly rare that you're more likely [...]
Aza’s Optometrist Confirms: 1.50 Diopter Astigmatism Reduction
Astigmatism reduced dramatically. Myopia reduced as well. And all of it, optometrist confirmed. Yes, it's that time again. Time to strut the stuff. Show off the gains. Preen prodigiously on behalf of darling readers and practice-ers of the guru's methods for all the 20/20 gains. We'll keep this one short and partially rant-free. Note below Aza's percentage spherical reduction is actually quite excellent, as well as a lot less astigmatism. That latter one is nice since it'll be much easier [...]
Kristen A (-4.25): Optometrist Confirms 1.5 Diopter Reduction
Here's a great improvement report for you, from our darling Facebook group. You might like this one since it's a) optometrist confirmed, b) has diopter equalization (left and right eye same diopters), c) includes more than a full diopter of reduction, and d) even has reduced astigmatism. All this in a span of a very short 7 months. Not bad at all for seven months start, and an "incurable genetic condition". Here's the full post: Win on every front. Myopia [...]
