Aza’s Optometrist Confirms: 1.50 Diopter Astigmatism Reduction

Astigmatism reduced dramatically.  Myopia reduced as well.  And all of it, optometrist confirmed. Yes, it's that time again.  Time to strut the stuff.  Show off the gains.  Preen prodigiously on behalf of darling readers and practice-ers of  the guru's methods for all the 20/20 gains. We'll keep this one short and partially rant-free.  Note below Aza's percentage spherical reduction is actually quite excellent, as well as a lot less astigmatism.  That latter one is nice since it'll be much easier to start enjoying natural eyesight [...]

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.

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 [...]

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!
