Kris Reduces Glasses From -6.00 To -4.50 (In 4 Months)
Youtube comment today, from Kris, a viewer and reader of the blog: I love getting these bits of feedback to share with you! Of course a reasonable diet matters (insulin issues often tie to eyesight problems) and from there it's not that much further to get some better eyesight habits as well. Nicely done, Kris. Housekeeping: Still in Indonesia for a few more days here, I brought various cameras and things but haven't done any proper videos. The studio is [...]
Glasses: Wear What You *Need*

(Fun) Eye Yoga Fluff vs. (Boring) Myopia Control Science & Data
Quick post today, to point you to a recent YouTube video I uploaded.The topic is about fun but useless vision health ideas that grab the public imagination particularly effectively, vs. the less engaging (though more realistic) concepts we get from looking at biology and clinical studies. It seems that certain personality types are more drawn to the side of shanti-shanti, relative to others who prefer the more methodical approach.As long as either makes you happy, by all means! Here's the video:Thumbs up, subscribe [...]
Alzheimer’s Disease and those Billion-Dollar Industries

Another startling fact, that many would like, once again, to blame on genetics.Each and every one of you will, at some stage, be affected by some form of dementia, be it a parent, grandparent, friend, neighbour, or even you. Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia, is the leading cause of death among [...]
