Tidbits Of Myopia Science

Here's some third hand repost from smarter-people-than-Jakey, about all sorts of bits of scientific explorations. Source, this post in our private member forum (login required). Source of the source, this site. This book is still a goldmine, and still updated. I’m copying some sections which I found particularly interesting from the latest additions: Liang et al. reported186 : “study demonstrated that near work significantly decreased CCPA [chorio‐ capillaris perfusion area].

DMV Restriction Removed (Can Your Retail Optometrist Do This?)

Well 'ello there, darlin's. Ready for some 20/20 gains that lead all the way to being unsubscribed from retail optometry treatments?   All that and yet another reverberating juicy slap in the collective faces of retail optometry? To recap first and apetizer-ey, for the seven millionth snarky fun time:  Retail optometrists lie.  About pretty much everything, from why you have myopia to what their treatments really do.  Whether it's out of unfathomable degrees of deeply embarrassing ignorance, whether of the collective failings of the lens [...]

All contents on this site should be considered research material only.  We are not offering medical advice or treatment or cures for any illnesses. The reduced lens method is strictly experimental. Before considering taking steps to control your own myopia, you should definitely visit a qualified ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eyesight checkup.   Specific diagnoses illnesses aside,  most) myopia may be considered to not be an illness at all.  Most myopia is likely just a matter of environmental strain, and excessive prescription use.  You yourself may be able to control and reduce your own myopia by 1) managing eye strain, 2) conservative prescription lens use, and 3) targeted positive stimulus. We recommend finding a prevention minded optometrist to supplement your journey with professional advice and prescription management help.  While not a requisite, a supportive optometrist may make your journey that much more enjoyable! Potential Side Effects: (1) You may experience astigmatism-like symptoms, especially if you reduce too fast or without paying attention to this (transient) symptom. Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
