Anna (-3.00): 1.5 Diopters Improved! (How She Did It)
I feel like we need the next few days exclusively for reader e-mails. It'll be the only way to get at least remotely caught up with some of the great improvement e-mails we've been getting. Here is Anna's awesome progress: Note too, Anna did this with just the blog (for those who like to cry how hard life is, clearly some motivation and perseverance pays off nicely). Anna is getting back to 20/20, there's no question about it. 2017 is a realistic goal, [...]
Yulia: “No F**ing Cylinders!”
Yulia's quite enthusiastic forum update made me smile, first thing this morning. Here it is, maybe it'll have a similar effect on you: Hey Jake, i want to write today the update! i started feeling lots of eye strain in my long distance glasses and i decided to go to my friendly optometrist today. So guess what? Based on what we tried with her i see pretty clear without astigmatism with my normalised as well. That was something completely blowed [...]
Yulia: 3 Diopters Of Astigmatism – Eliminated!
You hear me talk about 'junk' diopters and about prescription complexity and about using only as much focal plane change as you actually need. Sorting all that out, a big initial part of your road to improving eyesight. Take a look at Yulia's experience, as she updates us in the forum. For reference Yulia came in with -2 diopters of cylinder (astigmatism) in the left eye, and -1D cylinder in the right eye. That's a total of three diopters of [...]
Akira (-6.00): “I’m Only 21, Already Have Floaters And High Myopia”
Today, about a 21 year old taking action to keep his eyes. A great story! I look at Youtube like the puppy the kids brought home, the one that looks like he's for sure going to bite somebody (or everybody) before the day is over. Also, that doesn't even look like a puppy, kids. He's at least what, a half dozen years into a maingey existence? But so far the Youtube has been fairly well behaved. Occasionally even giving us something quote-worthy: Ak [...]
(-4.00 Progress) Eye Exam Confirms: 63 Year Old Cuts Myopia In HALF
Can we brag a little bit, kittehs? No, not the post picture. That's just lacking creative ideas today. Go ahead, Jake, you say. Probably no worse than your Instagram. So some days I've got the most awesomest e-mail inbox. It's been overcrowded one lately (since I managed to break myself with an especially dumb self experiment, lucidity to answer e-mails has been lacking). But as I keep digging through the backlog, so much of what I read is like Christmas, over and over. Take a [...]
Optometrist (-5.50 Progress): “Eyes Gone Back To An Older Prescription”
There's one key premise that made me moderately successful in my previous career: Never take anyone's word for things that will be critically important to your decision making. An example: I wasn't an accountant (I'd be the worst accountant, seriously). We'd get these in-house accountant summaries of financials, a neat few pages covering dozens of boxes of paperwork. Everybody was using the summaries. Everybody but Jake. I'd kept an eye on the in-house accountants, and I didn't trust them. I had my own guy (kid in school [...]
