Astigmatic (Cylinder) Blur Vs. Myopic (Spherical) Blur
The plan for today was to tell you about a big glaucoma study in Singapore. Interesting stuff, and it very seriously applies to high myopes and possibly will bring much earlier detection to a particularly insidious form of glaucoma. Alas ... that one will have to wait. Something popped up in the forum today that I want to share with you, before it gets lost in other topics. Boris describes the difference between astigmatic blur and myopic blur so perfectly, [...]
Skeptical Student Is Skeptical
Yesterday we talked about one of my favorite kinds of students: The scientist who has tried all pseudo, bro science vision improvement things before, and now is giving endmyopia a shot. Today let's look at another kind of student. I can't say "favorite" here, since it's a bit of a nail-biter scenario. This is the kind of student who is willing to give the endmyopia way a try, but is feeling rather quite skeptical. There's no definite way to predict [...]
Vision Improvement: Should You Start Wearing Glasses?
Let's dive into the forum a bit today, for interesting stories. I feel that regular blog readers miss out on some of the most insightful and intriguing experiences by not having access to the forum.

And even though that’s at the fourth method I’m trying in the course of only five months (1st: Bates, 2nd: some [...]
Eureka!
Very excited this morning. Because yesterday, I found it! Yes, I found active focus! And it wasn't actually that difficult. I expected to be that one person that can't find it. I must have read the session on it about 10 times, until it sank in, but that's ok, it's a totally new concept for me too. We are after all making our eyes, and those poor ciliary muscles, work in a way they have never worked before. But it [...]
Optometrist Update: Second Week Into BackTo20/20
I've been a bit quiet on the blog this week, I know, and it's only my second week in. I've been busy. Busy reading and re-reading the sessions, measuring centimeters, checking my vision in various lighting conditions, measuring my near working distances, and checking my distance prescription. Yes, I do do my own eye-tests, that way I only have myself to blame. Finally, I found my differential prescription, and I'm not going to lie, that part was indeed tricky, as I [...]
Motorcycles, Contact Lens Push-Back, & Some Loves
Some odds 'n ends, bits and pieces today:Poppy is commenting on another student's experience with a change in brand of contact lenses reducing distance vision a bit. While I had taken a more laid back approach, this is clearly a good way to look at it: Love the forum!Then there's this one, I'm always fond of progress reports. Over time they make a great bigger picture, when you can look back at anyone's range of experiences throughout the the course:That [...]
