That Doesn’t Even Feel Right!
Don't get cranked to 11, at the optic shop. Seriously. That's how it all starts to go south, with your eyesight, when the optician plays the "clearer now, or now" game. It's the wrong way to deal with prescriptions.I just made it back from the airport. Bye-bye Singapore!Today's post, I really want to make in video format. But it's 4PM, I'm nowhere near a video friendly place, so maybe this post will have to do instead. Even if words really don't do it justice, [...]
Your Glasses: Does Your Ciliary Muscle Love Them?
In video format today, a quick explainer why your eye's focusing muscle might love (and be better off) with glasses.This is in response to a few recent forum stories where students (before finding @endmyopia) went no-glasses, cold turkey.

At least though there's a quick bit for you on the astigmatism topic. You'll notice that we're quitting a bit with the editing of [...]
