How I Went From -5D To -3D (& Why You Shouldn’t)
Recent YouTube Jakey post, about my own journey from -5D to -3D glasses.And yes, I do get confused on locations. Pretty sure that was the first Laos round, though there was either there or Cambodia that -3 started working well. If only Jake had kept better logs ... (like you ought to).Either way, some possible lessons there for those who like to monkey with lenses, skip the learning process. You always come back to RTFM eventually, after a few rounds of "meh, [...]
Addicted to Lenses
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristJake's recent blog entitled, "Shh, don't tell them how to fix their eyes," got me thinking. You can take a horse to water but you really can't make him drink. There really is no point preaching about anything, reversing myopia included.

Matt Improves From -4.25 To -2.50 (and more stories)
Let's look at some reader and student e-mails, today. First up, Matt improves from -4.25 to -2.50. That's a healthy start right into low myopia territory. Well done. Avoided the LASIK. Lucky Matt! Some days it's easy to take all the improvement stories for granted. Especially if you've been following @endmyopia for a while, or if you're me, clicking through hundreds of e-mails a day (yes, I skim and hit delete liberally, and the e-mail admin does the rest).
