How I Kicked My Screen Addiction
Spoiler alert: I didn't. (kick it) But that's not the actual point here. There's something more interesting than trying to beat what is probably the oncoming tidal wave of humanity's evolution. And that more interesting is, finding inspiration to do things other than stare at screens. This all is about t0 fall squarely into the realm of fruity hippy talk, clearly. But imagine, what if we did go outside? What if we found ways to amuse ourselves that involved creating our own experiences, rather than [...]
Active Focus – Beginner Tips
Adding another one to the active focus link list, more words to help newbies find active focus. Active focus is really the only part of the whole approach that has that intangible aspect that I can't reliably explain the application of. Finding it is super easy for some, and a challenging journey for others. Since I don't want you to get hung up on not being able to find active focus, I keep adding new perspective to hopefully help you out. Here's the most recent [...]
Mildred: 9 Year Old Daughter From -3.00 To -1.50 Progress
Time to add another report to the child myopia reduction column, darlings. As usual and not to beat the dead horse too much, screens are the complete enemy of child eyeballs. What you really need for your child is to go no phones, no iPads, no close-up screens. If need be, computer screens at reasonable distance, and avoiding having screens become your child's de-facto parent / babysitter. The cause of child myopia is not introducing your child to the wonders of playing with real, three [...]
2018 – Stats Of The Year Review
Numbers. Numbers don't really reflect what matters to most of us here, but let's have a quick review of 2018 numbers, anyway. Google / Search 2018 wasn't a great year for us on Google. Mostly because your darling eye guru tried to do the right thing and update the site to SSL and mobile friendliness. In the process of doing so we lost about 30% of our regular traffic, because yea. An old tottery eye sage isn't good at Internet things. But we recovered. It's still a [...]
Dave: -4.50 Down To -2.50 (Optometrist Confirmed)
Gains report time, darlings. This one to balance our last post, where unfortunately an old guru about went off the rails again, discussing the collective ineptitude of the so-called vision care establishment. Ss with everything in life, it's not all one way. Today it's the opposite of the less than stellar experience we looked at yesterday, with clearly someone who knows what they're talking about, and supports their customers (not 'patients', since we're not sick here). Check it out: So there's that. I post all [...]
“Medical” Diagnosis Vs. Critical Thinking
Friends. Darlings. Kittehs. Let's pray together for a moment. "Dear Lucky Gods, don't let ole Jakey VonBeardenstein get into a massive, giant, endless rant again, today. Thank you, Lucky Gods. Amen. Om Shanti. A bientot." (substitute your deity of choice as appropriate) Why the prayer? Because we live in interesting times. We live in a time where we're about to overcome the old timey dogma of paternal, authoritative "medical" personas. Google, the Internet, all the tools we have available now allow us to explore symptoms, [...]
