We talk about numbers a lot, when covering vision improvement reports. That's all fine and good. Tangible. Relatable. Quantified data, not emotional unicorn farming. This is largely the environment created by your darling eye guru, so we don't fall into the trap of the subjective, the flowery adjectives, the faith and shanti unicorn pony zoo. Once in a while though we need to remind ourselves that the end result isn't about numbers. It's about something much more. Janna, in the [...]
Val’s One Year Progress: -8.50 D Reduced To -6.00 D
Just about exactly one year ago, Val posted this progress report in the support forum: Hi Everyone, I just got back from the optometrist, and my eyes are still dilated, but here’s some good news. My prescription for distance vision, corrected to 20/15, no longer has any astigmatism, and the difference in the eyes is down to only -0.25 diopters. I knew that from my cm reading, but my snellen suggested my normalized of -8.00L -7.75R was pretty damn equal [...]
Todd: Getting First Normalized Glasses at -2.25
I'm a big fan of structured approaches. Call me lazy (or maybe just efficient). Somebody else already figured it out, great. Introduce me to that guy. Give me the cliff notes. Let's get straight to the key bits, I don't get a huge sense of accomplishment taking the long way if there's no need for it. Fine. Maybe I am just lazy. Here's somebody who is definitely not lazy though, and also demonstrates how one might benefit from a finely tuned structured [...]
Rachel’s (-7.00) Update: Optometrist Excited!
Have you ever heard of an optometrist getting excited about measuring clients improving eyesight? It's a rare thing, for sure. Read on! I had planned to get through some of the usual backlog of improvement stories today, get some motivating and great first hand accounts posted here for you. It's not to be though, at least for today. Because something else came along. Also an improvement story of course (as most are), but this one with a particularly heart [...]
Optometrist Improves: No Longer a High Myope!
Written By Despina Contributing Optometrist This week has been quite momentous for me. A major milestone. I am no longer a "High Myope". In March this year, I started out with a contact lens prescription of R -5.00, L -5.50. That's about -5.50 and -6.00 in a spectacle prescription, plus a bit of astigmatism. Definately high myopia, from the age of about 12. Two days ago, I am thrilled to report, after a good 20 minutes of no prescription on, [...]
Ian’s -1.50 D Progress: “Dream Of Being Glasses Free By Summer”
What's it like when you can just about see the no-glasses light at the end of the tunnel? Ian is getting close: By this time next year, Ian's going to be all ... "glasses, what glasses". Interesting, how things have evolved. First, back in the day, nobody cared (or knew of, let's be honest) about @endmyopia. Then word got around slowly, and we were getting a lot of haters. If you've been around long enough, you remember the various drama moments with [...]
