Sudden Onset Child Myopia: From 20/20 To -6 Diopters (in a day?!)
Sudden onset so-called child myopia. One day your child sees just fine, the next day - hugely short sighted. High myopia diagnosed. No explanation, no treatment besides glasses. This happens, and I wish every parent in this situation would find this post before saying yes to glasses. At the risk of sounding like an elderly matron turned Internet unicorn hippie: Odds that your child suddenly becomes highly myopic in some irreversible manner, pretty slim. Odds that there's a huge bit of focusing muscle (ciliary) spasm, [...]
What MEOW Means – Finally Revealed
Meow has been going on for years here on the blog, entirely unexplained. If you've been reading here long enough you already know that mystery abounds. Imaginary beards, the entire eye guru premise, alternating between serious science discussion and more definitely unhinged (but surely amusing) rant posts. And all the high quality blog pictures. Pretty reasonable. Why all the strange bits? Because at the end of the day I do want to help you find answers to your myopia challenge - but then also [...]
Sander: To Good To Be True? (28cm To 38cm Gains)
I've been meaning to post the following rather lengthy progress update from the BackTo20/20 support forum. And since today a Jakey actually slept enough and kited his little heart out all day yesterday and also didn't completely abuse the Vietnamese coffee so far, this is really just going to be an 20/20 gains update, and no epic rant. Zut alors, Jake! Here we go, Sander's got updates: Pretty good so far. There are a lot of ways to do things. This particular approach, perhaps lacking [...]
Pro Topic: One Eye Improves Quickly, The Other Does Not (Why?)
You're working on your eyesight. Things are going well. Except, not really. You got one eye improving like a champ, and the other is lagging. It's making you a little nutty, and you wish you knew what is going on. If this is the case for you, read on! This is a scenario that comes up every so often, that warrants a bit of an entry in the freeloader blog guides section. Because of course and fortunately you have your trusty eye guru to uh-splain [...]
Nicole: Ophthalmologist Confirms -3.5 D Myopia Reduction
Dear all the holy gods, old and new, please let us find the serenity not to launch into an epic rant in this post. Shanti-amen. Here we go. Nicole improves her eyesight. Reduces her myopia. Has a supportive proper ophthalmologist (not just some runty chain store optician) to help her along the way. Nicole makes all the 20/20 gains, reports her progress in the Facebook group. Like so: That's right. All is well. That's it. Improvement report posted. Hit save, Jake, close the window. [...]
Drone Flying For Vision Improvement
Notice: This post is at least 60% an excuse to buy toys. If your wallet is already huffing and puffing this next story might be the one to skip reading. Good news. Finally a post not about another 20/20 gains progress report. Seriously, you are so spoiled. We are so spoiled. Even I literally sometimes groan, looking at the folder of vision improvement reports. I love them, they're amazing, they're 95% of what keeps me going creating these free resources for you. And yet [...]
