Winter Installments: The Vision Stimulus Un-Habit
Things are not quite on schedule this month, the second installment of the Winter Installments is running a bit late. I will make up for the delay by adding a few bonus Installments, beyond the four originally planned. In the second installment, due to be in your installments folder by the weekend, we discuss the un-habit. For most of the Vision Improvement Course we talk about the importance of forming habits from the content of the installments. The #endmyopia Method [...]
Reminder & Tip: Recognize Double Vision
This post is particularly relevant if you previously did the Vision Improvement Course (and read the 60s Installments). I am struggling a bit today. The new e-mail delivery mechanism that is supposed to send the free program, is sitting in the corner, staring at me blankly. All the pieces are there, everything else appears to work, but the free installments quietly sit in the queue, not being sent your way. Meanwhile I get a surprising amount of e-mail sign-ups every day, including [...]
Myopia And The Winter Season
I recently posted a few quick tips on how to deal with the winter months, in respect to keeping your vision healthy. As the days grow shorter, and the quality of ambient lighting reduces, our eyes have to work harder. If you have tried the eye chart in great light, vs. dusk, you already know this - your vision changes fairly drastically, depending on the quality of the ambient light. If you are actively working on improving your vision, the [...]
Ambient Brightness & Your Vision
Ambient lighting affects your vision to a significant extent. As program participant you already know this - even for you though, things to consider (at the end of the post). If you wear full strength prescription lenses, as prescribed by your local optic shop, you might not notice to what extent your vision is affected by ambient lighting. Your natural eyesight is much like a camera, in that lower light results in a less detailed image - and less detail, [...]
Double Vision Awareness Practice
This is a reminder post, to keep yourself fully engaged with distance vision practices. The 60's Installments of the Vision Improvement Course discuss the difference between blur and double vision - and how you can leverage them to continue challenging your viewing distance. This is an important subject, especially when you are outdoors, practicing pulling focus for distant objects. Most of the ongoing improvement tends to come from this exercise, while the focus pushing (up-close) work takes on a secondary [...]
Focal Plane Hangover, Chicken Livers, more
I am out for a conference, which has left little time to answer your e-mails, look over the forum, and take care of site updates. My apologies! I will be back to regular schedule in a few days. Meanwhile though, I updated Installment #65 for those of you who successfully managed not only to work out close-up blur, but also distance blur. There is a thread in the forum related to the subject, where some participants are discussing the results. [...]
