Michelle: From -10.25 Improved To -7.00
Michelle posts her latest (awesome) status update in the forum. If you're a high myope feeling trapped by your glasses or contact lenses (or have a friend who is), this is a bit of a quick must-read: I waited 6 weeks before updating my first normalized prescription to -7 contacts for the new normalized. From the 4-6 week point with the -7.5 contacts, I started wearing +.5 glasses inside as I could see well inside with no challenge and I [...]
Michael (-6.50): Optometrist Confirms 1 Diopter Improvement!
Michael posts this update in the forum: Well done! You notice that Michael says, "on the one hand". There's the other hand, which turns into a bit of a discussion about very small astigmatism corrections, and various sorts of optometrists, and things worth reading (if you're a participant, here's the whole thread). That part, another topic for another blog-day. I'm glad to see the many positive notes on my attempts at being gentle, warm 'n fuzzy. It works reasonably well [...]
(-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: [...]
Three Stories
I send out a "how's it going" e-mail periodically. The responses, often really worth the read. Struggle, success, questions, random commentary, I'm a little addicted to the whole thing. Let's peak at three of them, today. First, Ivana: Quick and to the point. The e-mail admin is pretty well trained by now to know what to let through and what not to. And while I'm really not so great at managing e-mail or keeping track, I'm being told that the volume [...]
A Must-Read Progress Update (Jon & Optometrist, -8.00 Progress)
Jon just posted his latest progress report in the forum. If you've been following Jon (here, here, and here) you already know that he has a thing for very detailed charts, independent verification, and putting everything into great concise detail. This one is a must-read, combining Jon's usually attention to detail, and optometrist verified measurements: Just came back from my O.D. First visit since I started improving my eyes. I waited until the end of the visit to mention that [...]
