Neural Response To Flicker Rates: Artificial Light Causes Myopia?
We're going to go serious on some full-on hardcore science, today. Neural activity and all the whatnots. Pull up your sleeves, for this one.Artificial-anything should be suspect, when it comes to your biology functioning correctly.We already figured this out. Often I think of artificial as equals = incomplete. We know this about food. We don't (people in general) know this about light. And without going over the edge here with hippie fruit loop talk, light is the food of our eyes, [...]
Video Edit: Outdoor Time To Improve Eyesight
If you're a regular blog reader, you already know all of what the latest Youtube video covers, in quick recap format.In some ways this is me practicing telling the story.It's also what we covered the other day, on outdoor time and improving eyesight. I try to talk about this often, even if it's repeating things, since so many of the questions I get are technical, about lenses and diopters and text sizes and astigmatism and centimeter results.Nobody ever asks, 'hey do [...]
12 Year Old Boy Beats Myopia
Lots of things occupy your darling eye guru's wee little brain, with this @endmyopia project. How do I get the new reader to stick around long enough to seriously consider natural myopia control?

Removing reality as a constraint, it's easy to come up with solutions for just about anything. [...]
Down to -1.50 D: Progress, Patching, Observations
* progress chart forum signature: Janna The forum is really very helpful for perspectives and insights and individual experiences with reducing myopia. I highly recommend reading it regularly (if you're in BackTo20/20), there's much you can learn from the collective experiences there. Here's Matthew's update from yesterday, working on low diopter equalization: I’m almost 30 days into a new normalized of L -1.25 / R -1.50. I have been working on patching for several months now, too. Here’s my observations: [...]
Did LASIK, Spent $4,000, Horrible Floaters & Headaches
Here's a comment Alex left on our Youtube video on crazy scary LASIK practitioners (if you haven't seen it, click over or read the blog post here): It's a serious gamble, no re-do's, this whole LASIK thing. On a lighter note, did you see the video edit of the story about the Indian boy who beats all of modern optometry? It's silly of course, but also watch it here: Thumbs up, subscribe to the channel for more videos. Count yourself [...]
