Polycarbonate Lenses – Bad For Your Eyes?
Science time. Fasten your seatbelts! Before we get into it, let's address the clickbait title. It's exactly about that, this post. Getting baited and scared into buying things. Know how they get you! First, I want to show you that clinical science knows a lot, a whole lot more about the eye than most of the retail outlets we have all frequented for myopia advice. Let's see that the so-called optometry medicine has little to do with optometry science. Retail optometry owns the right to make certain claims (lobbying & shady law making, [...]
This Tea Tastes Like Fish (& Christina’s 1st Month Progress Report)
Your darling Jakey, updating the proceedings today for you from a very local flavor coffee shop in some very tucked away, very windy town. Somewhere in Vietnam. It's not a tourist spot, that's for very definitely sure. A vaguely bearded guru-face rode along so many endless miles of seemingly abandoned (and shockingly beautiful) coastal road, fate seemed committed to run me out of fuel completely and permanently. No vaguest semblance of a gas station in sight for hours. Jake would end up stuck on that vast, [...]

Shortsightedness is reversible?!
Does The Optometrist Respect You?
Respect. Glasses. A Jake post. Oh-oh, you say. Don't worry, this will be an entirely rant-free post. We're just going to take a bit of a look at what should be acceptable interaction with you as customer, and what might be less so.

Curiously and what you may want to contemplate first, is the often notable disconnect between the outside of this sort of establishment, and the inside of it. I'm going to point [...]
How Much Does Vision Therapy Really Cost?
Let's start this all off with, eye guru. Going to see an eye guru is like trekking up the faraway mountain to the old, wizened Kung Fu guy, with his wispy Kung Fu guy beard and all his old timey pottery and his Bonzai tree garden. Clearly this isn't a doctor's office. Medical disclaimer: Jake is no Kung Fu master. All that said, most people have no idea that there such as thing as vision therapy, mainstream and degrees and all. There is. Google behavioral optometry and [...]
Kicked 2 Diopters: -6.25 Down To -4.25 Since August!
Warning: This post turned into a tiny bit of a rant. Yikes! ;) Yes, "kicked diopters". Because, let's look at diopters realistically. They're not much else than a (manufactured focal plane) drug addiction. You were fine without the diopters. Then at some point you had a focusing muscle spasm (blurry vision) and the establishment said, wow great, come in here, we can fix that for you right now. With this product. With this subscription-based, come back next year, you'll want more of this, product. No, not [...]
