Reward System & Log: Protecting Your Child’s Eyes From Myopia
What I possibly like most about this venue of the Web, is the sharing aspect. Whereas before anything communicated would only be between me and the client in my office, you can now see a lot of interactions, advice, questions, and support via the forum. And sometimes we get great context, like Nate E's recent post: It’s been about 1 month, so I thought I’d give a quick update on my son. We’ve been pushing focus every day. But I [...]

Nate posts in the forum: A quick question about when to decrease normalized prescription. I started with a prescription of -6.75.

This year I’ve slowly worked my way down to [...]
Inge’s Mild Myopia: The Questionable Value Of A -2.00 Prescription
Overprescription, with any sort of serious medication, is generally something most medical practices avoid - for all the obvious reasons. This is unfortunately not the case in optometry. In optometry, prescriptions are made for the maximum possible degree of correction. It is certainly bad news for your long term vision health.

Haven’t touched my old full prescription glasses in all that time!For reference, my old prescription was:OD -3.25, -0.75 Cyl, 180 AxOS [...]
-6.75 D to -4.75 D: A Pathologists Experience With Improving Eyesight
Here, a guest post from Nathan (who you might know from occasional forum posts).

Nathan is a pathologist, so he is used to applying knowledge of the human body to logically analyzing the subjects we look at here in the blog (and the course, obviously). --- First, I’d like to thank Jake for the opportunity to [...]
