Roy’s Equalization Breakthrough
Equalizing your prescription is a huge milestone in any vision improvement undertaking. First there are all the basics to cover, which takes a while. At some point you understand blur, you understand centimeters, you understand strain, you have a differential and a normalized correction, and you start lowering both of those successfully. Once you are past all of that, you get to the real pro level sessions. Equalizing is a huge one in that section. Reducing prescription complicity is an important [...]
Astigmatic (Cylinder) Blur Vs. Myopic (Spherical) Blur
The plan for today was to tell you about a big glaucoma study in Singapore. Interesting stuff, and it very seriously applies to high myopes and possibly will bring much earlier detection to a particularly insidious form of glaucoma. Alas ... that one will have to wait. Something popped up in the forum today that I want to share with you, before it gets lost in other topics. Boris describes the difference between astigmatic blur and myopic blur so perfectly, [...]
Skeptical Student Is Skeptical
Yesterday we talked about one of my favorite kinds of students: The scientist who has tried all pseudo, bro science vision improvement things before, and now is giving endmyopia a shot. Today let's look at another kind of student. I can't say "favorite" here, since it's a bit of a nail-biter scenario. This is the kind of student who is willing to give the endmyopia way a try, but is feeling rather quite skeptical. There's no definite way to predict [...]
Vision Improvement: Should You Start Wearing Glasses?

And even though that’s at the fourth method I’m trying in the course of only five months (1st: Bates, 2nd: some [...]
Despi Weights In
Jake has been on the optometrist-war-path again. Just when we thought it was over, and he had started to behave. It was the fever, he said. He was delirious. Not himself. Poorly educated, us optometrists, he says.. no way. Arrogant, he calls us.. well maybe, some of us.But as the week wears on and there have been no new rantings, I am assuming and hoping he has recovered, back to nice old Jake. So that's why I'm still around. Doing this [...]
Optometrists Calling Us Names (Again)
Before we get into people calling us names, let's take one wee step back for a little background.Despina, our contributing optometrist just wrote a draft post for the blog. In it, as always with well chosen words, she sounds less than completely excited about my recent lapse of tactful discourse (probably this post here). And she is indeed spot on, sometimes I lose patience, and that all still makes into into the blog and onto Twitter on occasion.Her post should be [...]
