Todd: Getting First Normalized Glasses at -2.25
I'm a big fan of structured approaches. Call me lazy (or maybe just efficient). Somebody else already figured it out, great. Introduce me to that guy. Give me the cliff notes. Let's get straight to the key bits, I don't get a huge sense of accomplishment taking the long way if there's no need for it. Fine. Maybe I am just lazy. Here's somebody who is definitely not lazy though, and also demonstrates how one might benefit from a finely tuned structured approach. Todd is getting ready [...]
Should You See Your Optometrist To Verify Vision Improvement?
How's that post title for a loaded question? It's actually a question from our darling Facebook group, one that warrants a repost here. The truth is, I myself avoided optometrists for quite a while once I started improving my eyesight, since the largely disparaging attitudes caused me to feel anxious and frustrated. But then that was before we knew all the things we know now. Today I say, by all means. Get data from every possible source, the more perspectives you have access to, the [...]
Rachel’s (-7.00) Update: Optometrist Excited!
Have you ever heard of an optometrist getting excited about measuring clients improving eyesight? It's a rare thing, for sure. Read on! I had planned to get through some of the usual backlog of improvement stories today, get some motivating and great first hand accounts posted here for you. It's not to be though, at least for today. Because something else came along. Also an improvement story of course (as most are), but this one with a particularly heart warming twist. Since I've spoiled [...]
Another Quick & Awesome DIY Centimeter Measuring Tool
Centimeter. A core tool of the endmyopia method. Since centimeter measurements translate directly to diopters, you can get a lot of valuable information from your centimeter results, inter-day fluctuation in centimeter, and knowledge about whether your glasses have the right amount of correction for your primary viewing distance. And if any of this is news to you, start with the diopter calculator. One of the greatest strengths of endmyopia is that we continue building better myopia control tools through the combined insights of thousands of readers [...]
Endmyopia & The Powers Of The Internets
How the day (today) starts: I wake up to more than the usual pile of LASIK related e-mails. Actually that's not true. I wake up for the 14th time at 5AM which is sunrise, a bunch of roosters begging to be murdered, and my little boy who has a fever and has been puking all night, wanting to get up and see the world. And the e-mails. Multiple of these, today. Usually I ignore whatever causes spikes in particular inquiries. It's always because Google ranks [...]
Got LASIK – Now Need Glasses Again?!
They won't tell you about this, the LASIK sellers: You will probably need glasses again! Why is this? If you're reading this post, then you probably already had the surgery, and your vision did get worse again. You go back to the laser shop and they'll sell you a "touch up" and reassure you that this is all perfectly normal. Well, they're lying to you. It's not normal. I get e-mails asking about post-LASIK eye problems, especially needing glasses again, literally all the time: [...]
