Steve: High Myopia Progress Report (7 Months: -7.50 to -6.00)
I get a lot of e-mails from readers asking about high myopia and the possibility to reverse it. As I always tell them, high myopia is (in practice) no different from low myopia. You're just starting out a bit further away from full recovery to 20/20. Of course there are some differences in physiology (potential axial myopia), but none of that matters for how you approach your improvement goals. People often struggle to believe me. Can it really be so [...]

And despite this, you might ask fifty British optometrists about the cause of myopia, and you'll be lucky to get [...]

Johnny: From -5.50 To -3.00 Diopters In 5 Months
Johnny writes in the forum:Hello all + Dr AlexI thought I’d relate my experience of eyesight improvement as some may find it interesting/useful.First some background. I started wearing glasses about the age of 12, when a school nurse tested all the kids in our class and decided I needed glasses. From that day I hated being short sighted with a passion. I refused to wear them until my myopia progressed to the stage where I didnt have much of a choice. [...]
