Vivian: Optometrist Confirmed Myopia & Astigmatism Reduction
We're overdue for some 20/20 gains updates! First up, Vivian making progress. This is one of those updates that doesn't fall into the category of unexpectedly massive gains, but rather the nice predictable variety. And while your favorite guru doesn't care what the optometrist says, many readers like the additional reassurance: Conservative, most likely. You're likely to self-measure more improvement than the optometrist will confirm. We talk about this occasionally in the blog, with things coming down to measuring environment [...]
Katarina: -8.00 Reduced To -6.50 (In 5 Months)
Initial gains! Important to note as you read this, that initial gains are usually 1) reducing over-correction from the optometrist and 2) reducing ciliary muscle spasm. It's not the magic part of getting all the way back to 20/20, but it's a great start. Here's Katarina: Beginner gains. It's great for motivation! Of course you can get beginner gains from doing all kinds of things. There are a million ways to reduce ciliary muscle spasm, and it doesn't take a [...]
Justin: From -4.50 D Down To -2.25 D (Since May!)
Time for a quick improvement update post. We've been doing mostly updates from our enormously popular, biggest ever, incredibly meow-rific Facebook group. Probably Facebook updates because an old guru is filled with personal insecurities and highly susceptible to external criticism, and I used to really cringe whenever somebody would claim that I'd make up the e-mailed improvement reports. Yea I know, those trolls were years ago. But there's a point in there somewhere. The Internet is full of treachery and [...]
Sander: From -5.00 To Martial Arts Without Glasses
Your favorite old beardly sage quite likes to read your improvement updates. I sometimes say there's no way I can post them all, but that's not me complaining. Getting them is great, they're the best part of my mornings while making it through e-mail and messages. Even if I don't manage to find the time to save each of them to post in the blog, do know that you're adding to my motivation by sending me updates! Here's a great [...]
20/30 With Bare Eyes, Optometrist Floored
We haven't done gains updates in a while, looks like. Overdue to add to the 20/20 journey pile! First up is Keith, who has done something I often recommend - changing optometrists if your existing one doesn't share your enthusiasm or curiosity, or isn't at least willing to indulge your wish to explore alternatives to sheeple lenses for life. Surround yourself with people who enable your ambitions! Keith's post from the Facebook group: Support great optometrists! There are a variety [...]
Nayana: Twin Daughters Becoming No-Longer-Myopic!
Kittehs. It's not easy to shares these updates with you, without lapsing into giant guru rants. In the face of overwhelming 20/20 gains reported literally every single day, you have to wonder how retail optometry the world over continues to be 100% oblivious. Or you don't wonder at all because you took economics 101 in school. EVERYBODY GETS GLASSES. NOW SHUT UP - retail optometry Either way here is Nayana defying capitalist 'health care' orders and getting rid of her [...]
