Weekly 20/20 Gains Reports: No More Glasses!
Seems more than a week has gone by, and it's time again for some of the 20/20 gains updates. Not more has been going on here in the blog in the past week since your favorite darling eye guru has been on the road. I did manage to make a video summary for parents with myopic children, and as usual all the daily one-on-one discussions with members of BackTo20/20 in the support forum. But excuses for not more posts aside, let's look at some 20/20 [...]
Darling Reader Mailbag: All The 20/20 Gains
Quick recap of the past week of guru-inbox and some of our darling participant gains highlights. First up let's venture to the Le Meow forum and an update from a starting point of -0.75 to currently lens-free eyesight: Charts! That's beautiful. And here's an 'eye doctor' approved update from Clement: (don't get Outlook for Android, though) Another one to file under optometrist-confirmed gains reports. And here's another -0.75 to 20/2o report: I'm not rigging these. It's a low myopia update week, what can I say. [...]
Acuvue Oasys For Astigmatism: How To Read The Specs
Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism: Finally the perfect daily contact lenses (if you have astigmatism)? Astigmatism now has one page that gathers all of this in one place: astigmatism, what it is and what changes it. Contact lens options have been exploding over the past several years, with way more features (and marketing hype buzz words), and sometimes eye-water prices. Acuvue Oasys is top of the heap on both counts, with more buzz marketing words, and a higher price tag than a lot of the would-be [...]
Conny: -3.25 Down To -1.75 D
Ok, so ... Your most favorite and ever wise and sagely barefooted guru has been wanting to post some of the more recent videos for you, here in the bloglet. It's something I keep looking forward to. But then every day (every. single. day!) we keep being interrupted by all these pesky gainz reports. Like Conny: Interruptions. And I have to post them here for you. Since it's just the sort of thing that most of the industry claiming to be the official stewards [...]
Ehsen: From -2.50 Reduced To -1.25 D
Think about milestones, when making all your 20/20 gains. -2.50 means having to have two pairs of glasses (differential & normalized), and definitely needing glasses for distance. -1.25, no more need for close-up glasses, and often no need even for distance glasses (at least during nice daylight outdoor walks). It's just a bit over one diopter of difference in numbers, but a huge difference in terms of everyday vision. DIY. Takeaway - milestones, rather than just looking at the final goal (of 20/20). That's [...]
Shipley: -3.75 Down To -1.75 (and HUGE astigmatism reduction)
Let's have another gains update today. GAINNNNNNNZ. This one in particular, since it includes a huge drop in cylinder, which really makes it easier to reduce your lens dependence. It's one thing to take off glasses and just have a closer blur horizon, but a whole different to take off the glasses and get a bunch of directional blur (double vision, ghosting). Here we go, Shipley's update: Way to go. Note of course, as always: Don't monkey with diopters, unless you know what you're doing. [...]
