Optometrist OBSESSED (In A Good Way)
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristWhen Jake asked me to experience this program, I was intrigued and excited. But I had no idea I would become ever-so-slightly obsessed with it. And I didn't realise this until yesterday, 2 months into the program, when I went to the beach.But it wasn't to swim, or to suntan, that I went.It was to get some uninterrupted distance vision, a bit of peripheral vision and some active focus. That's what I do at the beach these [...]
“You Could Change Axial Length With Certain Lenses”
“When I started practice, [the cause of myopia] was genetic or due to a near environment,” Jeffrey Cooper, MS, OD, FAAO, said. “It was one or the other. Early experimentation showed that (in animals), if the eye was occluded, the axial length grew.Animal models showed you could change the axial length by putting certain lenses on the eyes. The peripheral portion was found to regulate growth.”And if by "certain lenses", we mean the ones you're wearing right now, for old [...]
Reversing Myopia: It’s IMPOSSIBLE
Time for a little video edit!Especially with the Internet, I hear the word impossible a whole lot, when it comes to what we talk about here @endmyopia. Oh, it's impossible!You know what? If the process of arriving at that conclusion is even remotely potentially entertaining, or if you find that it wasn't impossible after all you might have a significant win at the end ... you might as well go find out for yourself, what's what. It's way more fun to end [...]
Geeks! “Retina Its Own Sensorimotor Apparatus”
We're going to get super far off the regular corse today. If you're just here to get simple and actionable insights on natural myopia control, this post isn't the droid you're looking for. Inspiration for this delving-into-things post, from Andrea's e-mail: text version for easier legibility: Hi Jake, Wow. Although I am obviously super-expressive, I can hardly even begin to express how much this course has meant to me. And it's only the end of my [...]
THIS BUG WILL EAT YOUR EYES: Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Written by DespinaContributing OptometristI hate wearing glasses. I hate the feeling of them on my face, the look of them, the restricted field of view, the way they minimise everything (you will look thinner in the mirror, beware of this ladies), basically everything about them. Great coming from an optometrist, I know.So for now, until I reverse my myopia completely, I'm stuck with contact lenses, which, for me, were the best invention ever. I have successfully worn them for longer [...]
The 30 Day Trick, From Matthew (-4.00 TO -1.25)
Matthew started at out a -4.00, two years ago. He since managed to reverse most of his myopia (to -1.25), with persistence and good habits. If there's one thing I'll teach my child, it'll be to set yourself a goal, and then surround yourself with people who already accomplished what you're just setting out to do. There's no sense going at it alone, or listening to anyone other than those who are already where you're trying to go. Cut [...]
