How Long To Get From -2.25 D To No-Glasses 20/20?
"How fast can I improve my eyesight?" Jake. Tell me, tell me now!In the top 5 of most common questions, no doubt. And while I can fully appreciate the sense of urgency, I would be doing you a disservice by not telling you what you actually should really know. More on that, in a moment.Adele asks in the forum:There it is, the "how fast" question.Btw, notice how things are getting nicer, bit by bit, in the forum? We've got the centimeter charts [...]
Singapore Eye Doctors: Reign Of The Clueless & Inept
Does that title sound like there's a rant coming on?Oh, kittehs. I'll try to just shut up and let the eye doctors do the talking for all of us. Because as we know, doctor knows best:Ok, don't mind us, scratching our heads a bit."Wearing glasses, unlike to contribute anything significant." That's classic, really. Unrelated and real quick, if you go to Google Scholar and search "lens induced myopia", how many results do you think come up? (47,800 for me). That [...]
Nakanita: From -3 Diopters To 20/30 Without Glasses!
We don't really Facebook. Mostly that's your darling host's fault, who just doesn't have the attention span for juggling the social media. All for the better anyway, considering the type of heresy that we appear to be inciting all over the world. I'm embarrassed, frankly. Take a look at Nakanita's insouciantly flaunted disregard for professional advice: Go ahead, shake your head. There we go, people not listening to their retina specialist about further increasing a -3 diopter prescription - and then [...]
Debbie’s Progress: 25% Improvement In 4 Months
Progress update time! Debbie posts in the forum:Eye drops for cataracts, we're curious how they work for Debbie (keep an eye on Debbie's forum posts for future updates on that front). Besides that, just the usual here. Reduce close-up strain, create positive stimulus, and the biology does what it's designed to do. The hustlers selling you lenses and telling you that you're broken, refuse to acknowledge that you're actually fine and don't need their "treatment".Yes, I kind of phoned in this [...]
Astigmatism Correction Greatly Exaggerated: Why We Love Test Lens Kits
Test lens kits. Three little words that get Jakey all kinds of riled up!I always say that most of modern retail optometry has zero to do with medicine. Look at any optic shop in any mall, and tell me that you expect to get medical advice in there, while looking through their shop window. Rows of fancy glasses, models sitting on the beach, two-for-one offers, sales pitches everywhere.Come on, what a sham, the whole thing.16th century invention, not by doctors, [...]
Eric”s (from -4.25) Optometrist: “Amazing! What Did You Do?”
Opening e-mail is a bit like Christmas, these days. Lots and lots and lots of great stories. Check out what Eric just sent over, brilliant experience (and he's lucky too, to have found an optometrist with some sense and curiosity, and not an outsized ego). There's hope for myopes, yet! Big thumbs up to Eric for making those gains, and especially taking the time to write! If you haven't started yet, take inspiration from Eric. He read the blog, he [...]
