Session Updates, New Videos, & Audio Tracks!
Today, a BackTo20/20 update post (along with the latest Youtube upload for blog-only participants). You know what's not been getting as much love as it definitely should be?BackTo20/20. Missing the love. The functional core that holds this whole site together, a wee bit neglected. The cutting edge, structured, experimental process to naturally improve your eyesight, something not being done anywhere else, getting the scraps of Jake-attention. A global myopia epidemic, and this being the only true incubator for a meaningful solution that's [...]
Time to say Goodbye?
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristAs I keep saying, I love my contact lenses. They have served me well for over 30 years now. All types. I started with hard lenses, that's how desperate I was to be rid of glasses, the permanent redness winning hands down. I then progressed to gas permeables, and then, comfort at last with soft and disposable lenses. They have seen me through life until middle age quite successfully with no major hiccups or interesting stories.Recently, though, [...]
(-3.25) Zero Dollars Spent, Many 20/20 Gains Made
Serious vision improvement stories. You don't want to miss out on these! In this post we'll focus only on ones that are "blog readers only", ie. students who use entirely just the free materials, and none of the BackTo20/20 participants who pay for a structured approach (which is still the single best thing out there in terms of natural myopia reversal). So let's look at a few diopters of entirely free 20/20 gains, as told by readers themselves. First up, Andrew. Andrew, who [...]
Buying A No-Name Chinese Scooter: DIY Vision Improvement
So yesterday was a little bit of a rant about plus lens therapy.I imagine you come to read the blog, and wonder if you'll find some solid discussion about clinical studies this time, or detailed and insightful student progress reports, or instead another extensive rant by the (probably you think by now) bi-polar eye guru.Could be anything, you never know. If this show was run by your standard well-groomed, properly licensed, meticulously bearded ophthalmologist, you'd probably not get a rollercoaster of [...]
Why You Might Not Want To Do “Plus Lens Therapy”
So, plus lens therapy. Yet another thing floating about the Interwebs, when you search for answers about myopia.I made a quick video a while back, about plus lens therapy.In it I point out that I didn't like how the implied premise might be highly misleading to most myopes. You might want to wear plus lenses before you end up with glasses, at a point where you're probably still largely just contending with a ciliary muscle spasm as cause of your low [...]
Bad Optometrist For Your Eyes? Check These Warning Signs
Clicker VanClickbaitigan writes the post headlines. Not your darling eye guru Jake, obviously. It's real simple, the right vs the wrong ("bad") optometrist. You want one who is conservative with handing out prescription increases. You don't want the guy (or gal) who throws diopter increases around like it's candy, in the process accelerating your slide into bad times progressive myopia. Making that point eloquently, with a good backstory, Sarah in the forum: Hi! I’m Sarah and I wanted to make [...]
