(-4.50 Progress) You Can’t Force The Clear Flash
I struggle with the blog articles sometimes, and even with the sessions in BackTo20/20. Some things I really want to convey, just don't seem to quite make it. It's one part of the reason I want to get good at video. There's quite a bit of nuance to work out. There are the aitactual parts of centimeter and reductions and stimulus and diopters. And then there are the less tangible aspects, like finding active focus and the wide range of emotional aspects [...]
Improving Your Eyesight: An Emotional Journey
Eyesight exercises don't work. If we ever start a swag shop, that'll be on the first t-shirt. What does work, is habits. And where there are habits, and change, and challenge, there's emotion. It's something you want to consider and be ready for. You're not going to jump in and start seeing better, without some ups and downs. So if you're working on improving your eyesight (or kind of wishing it was a real thing), this is for you. Posted by Matthew: [...]
Charts & Graphs Of Your Progress
There's a fun thread in the forum right now, "Introduction & 7 Day Observations". Lots of insights coming together there to help Julia with her initial impressions and questions. Unfortunately you can only see it, if you have forum access. I haven't figured out a great way to copy entire threads, there are hidden formatting things that make everything all funky when pasted. But if you do have forum access, check that one out. Another interesting quick progress report, courtesy [...]
Fara: -4.00 To -2.25 In 2 Months
Topic of today's post had already made it over to Twitter a couple days ago. (and apologies, the title is a wee bit glamorizing reality) I get a fair amount of e-mail, of two varieties. There are the ones who ask tons of questions about glasses and myopia and process, that a quick search of the blog would answer. And then there's the other ones, which grab the bull by the proverbial horns, and figure things out. Quick aside: I [...]
Overcoming Improvement Plateaus
One of the great benefits of the structured approach of BackTo20/20 is the built-in "plateau prevention". With data from thousands of recovering myopes over quite a few years, and having a consistent process for everyone made it possible to predict plateau risks. This means that if you are making consistent improvements and are following the sessions correctly, your odds of long plateaus is greatly reduced. Here are some of Jon's observations on the subject, in a recent forum thread: I’ve [...]
1/2 Diopter Improvement In 90 Days – Not Enough?
From the entirely overflowing e-mail inbox: I've been wondering if even a low myope like myself, who has -1.5 and -1.75 loses one diopter in the first 90 days? It's been about 60 days and I've lost a quarter to half a diopter This inquiry, most likely based on the "1 diopter in 90 days" premise in various parts of the site. I guess some of the long time click-bait-ey site statements need asterisks and clarifications, for some of our readers. Asterisks [...]
