You Want A Quick Hack, Or Years Of Tweaks & Testing?
Marie-Claire writes in the forum:UpdateClose up:I reordered the differentials with AR this time, what a difference! No more glare fatigue. I take walk-around breaks every hour, and look away from the computer screen whenever I can. Get up and stretch, look as far as possible over the other cubicles to engage distance vision. Use the half-hour lunch to walk outside. The close-up saga continues. By afternoon, the edge of blur seems to be a source of strain rather than a challenge, and [...]
Visionworks Optometrist Calls Us A Hoax
If you found this site by searching for help with your eyesight, you're in good company. Most everybody who visits here did it the same way. Welcome, to you. ;)It's less word of mouth, because most people don't really care about health issues that can be remedied with a quick and easy fix (glasses, FTW). It's less advertising, since your darling host of-this-show is a bit phobic of large crowds, and low barriers of entry. It's less referral type traffic, [...]
The Bionic Eye
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristAn article in the British optical press caught my eye today. The world's first bionic eye, Argus 2, is waiting for approval by the National Health Service. In other words, the £150,000 price tag will be paid by the government and not the patient.High myopia is one thing. Blindness is quite another.

Boris put the first 40 days of his vision improvement journey in BackTo20/20 to some excellent use. Rather than me spoil it for you, here is all that, straight from him:Nice! (original forum thread, here)And if you were to ask me whether to go to the optometrist after 60 days, I'd probably furrow various eyebrows and suggest you give it some time. I might say that the optometrist tests all go for worst case scenario, and if you haven't been [...]
The Brien Holden Institute Needs Your Help
Be positive, Jake. Say nice things to your darling readers, today. Deep breath! So there's the Brien Holden Instiute, which for those of you not keeping track is another one of these organizations who "develop innovative vision correction products for the treatment of the most common eye conditions." (according to their own Website)You see where this is going, I bet. Brien Holden's CEO, Kovin Naidoo recently expressed his concern (?) about the growing myopia epidemic:"Addressing a full theatre as keynote speaker [...]
Optometrist Experiences Myopia Reduction First Hand!
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristOK, so he could brush up on his spelling (that lady is right, but I was too polite, like most of you, to mention it). And he continuously insults my profession, despite swearing he'll change his habits. So why am I still not offended, and unsubscribing from this program? BECAUSE MY CENTIMETRES HAVE CHANGED!!!Yes, changed!! After just under a month of wearing my normalized prescription, my cm have increased by 2cm in each eye!!! And I am thrilled!!! [...]
