What You Missed: The Focal Plane Leap
Focal plane leap session: What we are going to find from this session, is that you can overcome a 1.25 diopter correction need, by using my blur focus method. This means, that if you currently need a -1.25 differential correction to see at 50cm distance, you can accomplish the same vision, at the same distance, without any correction (though it will take some work to make this persistent, and will take some notable effort and focus initially). In a [...]
Pushing Focus: Positive vs. Negative Direction
Pushing focus is the key stimulus we use to improve eyesight. Considering the 4 Pillars for Healthy Eyesight we need stimulus, along with reduced close-up strain to reduce myopia. As long as you don't wear full prescription glasses for close-up work and follow these practices, your eyesight will improve. For the basic practice of pushing focus, we simply move back from the page or screen, until the image just barely begins to blur. This is our blur horizon, which we can [...]
The Visual Cortex: Your Brains Significant Role in Healthy Vision
Most important, for most sufferers of myopia, is to fix the problem of too much close-up time and using the wrong prescription, while reading or working in front of computer screens. Once you have made it to one, two, or more diopters of improvement, we need to start looking beyond just the eyeball - the big picture happens in your brain. If you have done the core installments and decided not to do any of the advanced installments, feel free [...]
Leverage Vacation Time For Serious Vision Improvement
Jake posts in the forum: Following the “vacation series” of the Web program, pretty much exactly … Today I had a strange moment, at breakfast. Been doing the steps for maybe about a week now, actually paying attention. While I was sitting there, lake side, drinking tea, looking at the grass … suddenly, the usual green sort-of-blur just JUMPED OUT into individual grass blades. It was freakish, unsubtle, sudden, jarring. I could SEE the grass blades! Now, I’m still at [...]
Why You Should Be Keeping A Log
Of course it sounds like extra work, keeping a log, especially a proper one which includes: Prescription strength history Snellen results - morning, good natural lighting Snellen results - artificial lighting Snellen results - end of the day, poor lighting Centimeter results Factoring in centimeter results for various conditions, including before and after close-up time, that is quite a bit of data to keep track of. On the upside, most of the measuring you do in the first [...]
What You Missed: The Peak Prescription
I always say, we want low prescription complexity. No bi-focals, and lowering astigmatism prescriptions (which now you also have the tools for, and the forum to ask questions if you need specific advice). I say, that we need a prescription for close-up, and one for distance – and maybe one, for night time / driving / activities requiring optimal vision. And that’s enough, to keep pushing towards better vision. Sort of like it’s enough to go to the gym twice a [...]
