Stalkerfans: Dead Frogs & Follow Me On Instagram
[fusion_alert type="error" accent_color="" background_color="" border_size="1px" icon="fa-slideshare" box_shadow="yes" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" class="" id=""]Warning: Off-Topic + Disturbing Imagery[/fusion_alert] Yesterday one of my favorite darling friends sends me a dead frog, on WhatsApp. Don't blame me for this. Why? I couldn't say. I respond, wondering whether kissing a dead frog might turn it into a dead prince. #unexpectedconsequences Then later that day, outside my favorite restaurant, I come across a dead mouse. Middle of the road. It's fate saying: Return the volley of urban roadkill messages. The Asian mouse [...]
Low Myopia: Improving Your (Almost Good) Eyesight
Long e-mail this morning, from a BackTo20/20 student. The question, low myopia. I'm not reproducing the e-mail here because it's rather quite long, and also since the student opted not to post it in the forum. Respecting the privacy. Here's the long and short of it, though. Low myopia. Less than -1.75 diopters. It's that twilight zone that's the most vexing, in all of vision improvement. I talk about this very topic every so often, since it bears repeating: Low myopia is the most challenging part [...]
Do You Really Need Distance Vision? (Ghost Tower Edit)
In BackTo20/20 we talk a lot about process. Measurements, lens use, and all the steps and details that yield the most potential for progressing towards better distance vision. I figure it makes sense to have it that way. 20 minute sessions, you know exactly what to expect. Follow the process, no fluff, and a consistent platform to help you troubleshoot challenges and field questions. It's the most efficient system I could come up with. And yet ... I struggle with the aspect, of "soul". It's [...]
James: -4.00 A Year Ahead Of Schedule (plus: crashing Ferraris on Hollywood Boulevard)
As you read this, bear in mind: Off-topic Sunday. A mash-up of off-topic and on-topic today. James posts an update in the forum: Update time! It took two weeks but I got my glasses re-lenses to -4.75. In the intermediate period I used an old pair of -5.25s. Oh how my eyes got tired and started hurting… Good way to reduce close-up time though, when you can’t stand looking at anything! Now, a “problem”. When I got my -4.75 prescription it allowed me to [...]
Contacts For Peripheral Vision? (Q&A #6)
Quick Q&A today. We'll take a look at whether it makes sense to start wearing contact lenses just for peripheral vision. And, if you should concern yourself with single eye exercises. These are from the support forum, feel free to add your own observations. And if you're not sure whether to ask? Then definitely don't. We can't have silly questions. That or do ask. Always. You can't even imagine how many months I went chasing answers for the most seemingly silly things. Having the forum [...]
To Buy Or Not To Buy: The Best (and worst) Fashion Frames
Before you ask, yes. That is the original quote and no, I have no comment on the man's frame choice. Best and worst frames you can buy. Or in this case, best and worst fashion frames you can buy. I have them both (best and worst), because I have about a zillion frames and I keep buying more. For clients, for demo things, for my own amusement, plenty to go around. Trouble with where fashion is headed, is the trend towards these big, thick frames. Basically, [...]
