1/2 Diopter Improvement In 90 Days – Not Enough?
From the entirely overflowing e-mail inbox: I've been wondering if even a low myope like myself, who has -1.5 and -1.75 loses one diopter in the first 90 days? It's been about 60 days and I've lost a quarter to half a diopter This inquiry, most likely based on the "1 diopter in 90 days" premise in various parts of the site. I guess some of the long time click-bait-ey site statements need asterisks and clarifications, for some of our readers. Asterisks which would read something like [...]
The Industry Looks Forward To Your Retinal Detachment
The retinal detachment surgery market is growing at a rock solid 7% per year. In 2015 it's going to surge past 2 billion dollars in revenue for the first time, much to the excitement of surgeons and device manufacturers. Well done, optometry, creating such a profitable sales funnel! Money, money, money money money.

How Can A Dog Fix Your Eyesight?
There's a huge thread titled "The Double Dilemma" in the forum. It's full of interesting insights and I've been meaning to post excerpts of it here in the blog.

Blake posts a good one in the forum: Now, I'm not saying that you need to get a dog to improve your eyesight. The point of that particular session, to look at the big picture and find [...]
My Interview on WebTalkRadio with Meredith Rhodes Carson
Meredith Rhodes Carson is the host of The Roots of Health on Web Talk Radio. It's a rather interesting channel, with weekly interviews and brilliant insights. This probably, because Meredith has some serious talents in finding interesting topics, and asking all the right questions. It could be her PhD in geology, or her well trained sensibilities in the human health arena (she certified as a holistic health coach by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners as well as the Institute of Integrative Nutrition). This week marks what is clearly one of [...]
Fleur: Suddenly Able To Read Distant Signs
Yesterday we looked at Roberto's progress from -3.75 to -2.50. In that post I emphasize that you really don't need to buy things from me to fix your eyesight. This is an important point.

How about me talking about myself in third person? But then lots and lots of people opt to buy things. And the not-hippie part of me does enjoy this as [...]
