Wayne, Joseph, Paul: Sharing Progress Updates
Today, let's look at a few improvement reports, status updates, thoughts and musings. First up, Joseph: Sure, "eyes wanted more diopters". Caveat emptor, with the lens sellers. All Joseph needs now to keep making the 20/20 gains is to work on a good outdoor habit. Walks with active focus, or some hobby involving using distance vision. Pretty simple from there to keep reducing the plastic lens focal planes. Next up, a post from Wayne in the BackTo20/20 support forum: I'm out of jokes. Differentials becoming [...]
Amanda’s Daughter: 20/63 Improved To 20/40 (In One Month!)
Child myopia? It's not a thing! There's literally no good reason to let your children become profit centers for mainstream optometry. Literally none, unless you don't feel like doing the annoying you-know-what thing - actual parenting. And as a darling eye guru is discovering having a 2 year old now, actual parenting indeed is a giant pain. Having a large extended family and lots of frequent visitors, some days it feels that all I do is swat away phone screens that they let my [...]
Kavish’ Optometrist Report: 20/20 By Dec 2018?
The guru time clock is ticking fast, my darling kittehs. Jakey must make it to the embassy today, and the cranky Chinese Hong Kong wizard watch maker, and the bank, and deal with stuffy suits on two conference calls, and then also look for particularly dumb ideas in a three mile long spreadsheet. That's before the afternoon list of to do things. And the endmyopia-work-time clock says 11 minutes remaining. So that's 11 minutes to post at least one improvement report here for you. And [...]
You Have More Ciliary Spasm Than You Think (A Guide)
Endmyopia and the sagely method to all the 20/20 gains, based on two very simple concepts: 1) Strain management and 2) productive stimulus. As the divine 20/20 rules state - you can't make much use of refractive state changing stimulus, as long as your eye's focusing muscle is locked up from excessive close-up use. Those countless daily hours of screen time take their toll. You might have great habits for all of your computer time, but perhaps you're really discounting the hours that add up [...]
Rayann’s -5.5 D: Optometrist Confirms Full Diopter Gains
From -5.5 diopters to -4.5 diopters improved, and all sorts of skeptical scrutiny. It does pain an old eye guru to attribute any credibility to the mainstream lens sellers by having this whole category of "optometrist confirmed" 20/20 gains. As if their opinion mattered, or as if their measurements were any better than your own. But ... perhaps look at it as despite-attempted-denial result, something even the propagators of myopia can't deny. Sow some doubt among the lens seller faithful. Here's Rayann's full e-mail: [...]
Alexandra: -4.50 Down To -2.00 (In 12 Months)
People sometimes make excuses about reducing their myopia. Oh Jake they say, whether I got -4 or -2, I still wear glasses either way. Seems like a lot of hassle you know? Why am I going to spend a year, two years, for really what's just glasses anyway? Darlings. The difference between four diopters of the fake minus plastic focal planes, and two diopters of the same - is huge. Four diopters, you're not finding your glasses, without your glasses. It might as well [...]
