Why You Should Be Keeping A Log
Of course it sounds like extra work, keeping a log, especially a proper one which includes: Prescription strength history Snellen results - morning, good natural lighting Snellen results - artificial lighting Snellen results - end of the day, poor lighting Centimeter results Factoring in centimeter results for various conditions, including before and after close-up time, that is quite a bit of data to keep track of. On the upside, most of the measuring you do in the first and second month. Once you [...]
How To: Finding Active Focus
A key aspect to improving your eyesight is active focus. Active Focus now has one page that gathers all of this in one place: what Active Focus is and how to find it. There are a number of posts dedicated to this topic, since it is quite important - and yet elusive until you find how it works, for you. Words don't translate the connection between brain and muscle control, it is a bit of a process to find that connection. I compare it often [...]
Active Focus Games For Your Children
There was a time, many years past, when our limited imagination at the #endmyopia project didn't make childrens' lives so easy.

Our brains will only do one thing at a time, even if quick 'task switching' may make it seem as though we are multi tasking. Why does this matter so much to vision health? Simple: [...]
How To: Getting The Most Out Of Your Peak Prescription
In Installment #58 of the Adult Vision Improvement program, we discuss the Peak Prescription: The whole question of improving eyesight, what has evidence and what does not, now has one page: how to improve your eyesight. If you have been doing the occasional centimeter measurement, and sneaking a look at the Snellen once in a while, you have noticed something interesting. Sometimes, your vision is just … better. You get an extra line on the Snellen, or your centimeter is an extra several increments further. It [...]
Protecting Eyesight: Fix Your Viewing Distance
Myopia recovery is all about taking small but persistent actions.The theory is simple, and if you follow the blog at all, you already know the basics. I won't repeat them here, you can take a look at some of the link at the top of the site for all the core subjects. What matters past that, is what you can do, today.This is especially relevant if you participate in any of my Vision Improvement Courses - just how do you keep that viewing distance, when you [...]
