Should You Be Equalizing Your Prescription?
Jean-Pierre asks in the forum: Edge of blur for left eye at -1.75 is ~55cm, for right eye 62cm. I think my left eye is challenged a bit at my working distance of 60cm, while the right one has it easy. So, should I go to -1.75/-1.5, or should I trust that my left eye will “catch up” ? *** Be kind to your eyes. We often talk about how you can't just get rid of your glasses. Living in the resulting blur does absolutely [...]
20/200 Eyesight: What It Means And How Bad It Really Is
What Does 20/200 Eyesight Mean? 20/200 means you have to stand at 20 feet to read what a person with normal eyesight reads at 200 feet.

Well over 90% of the natural vision experience is lost, when we combine 8+ hours a day of close-up, TV, and eyeglass frames. This translates to both tangible myopia, and less tangible but equally important psychological detrimental side effects.Since we base long term success on habit changes, getting all the right habits in place is key. And most of them [...]
Why Is Night Vision Getting Worse?
Recovering healthy eyesight is all about moving backwards - from where you are now, to where you had initially started before that very first prescription at the optometrist.Remember, once you got that first prescription, your eyes kept getting worse.In the program, we have been working the exact reverse of what got your eyesight so poor in the first place - starting out, we remove the root cause of all myopia - close up strain.Once you have a clear sense for close-up strain again, and are [...]
Anne: Disappointed, Frustrated, Angry
Anne writes in the forum:Hi everyone,I took my youngest son to see the ophthalmologist today and I am feeling so disappointed, frustrated and angry …. Let me first give you some background history:I joined the #endmyopia project program on March, 24th 2014 after my 2 youngest children (Robin,7 and Eline, 10) had been diagnosed with myopia. This made me really worry (it kept me awake at night) about their future eyesight. From my own childhood, I can clearly remember that, once I started wearing glasses [...]
David’s Progress: -4.00 to -2.50
If there is one thing I am glad I did, it was to have started a support forum.More of the insights come from there, than most things I write here on the blog. If the Web Program is the brush and canvass, the support forum shows the paintings you create. David writes:Hey all,I started the program back in October and had been not using glasses for a bit before that, but wasn’t doing active focus or blur horizon work, till October. Anyway, had my first [...]
