Should You LASIK, Or Shouldn’t You?
There is an interesting post in the forum today, from a new student. He signed up, giving this a shot, while also thinking about getting laser surgery for his high myopia. I always get the trying-to-talk-you-off-the-ledge feeling, when I get this question. From years and years and many, many first hand accounts from laser surgery patients who later came to me, I have strong opinions about LASIK and related procedures. Yes, in some cases, low myopia in particular, it's worked [...]
Am I Wrong About Health-For-Profit?
I've been thinking about my experience with the osteopath and my amazing neck recovery.Yes, that's still holding up, no neck pain no matter what I subject my body to. As unreal as it is, I'm already starting to take it for granted. We're pretty quick to forget pain and discomfort once is gone, right? Before the treatment I would have given the whole process at most a single digit percentage chance of success. During the treatment, same, perhaps a few points [...]
Emanuele: “Gained Almost 15 Centimeters”
Johnny's latest improvement update (here) spurred some comments in the forum. Here's Emanuele's:Nice milestone!Being able to go without glasses while in front of the computer is a really tangible bit of progress.

Today the blog is more of a just-for-students topic. This one is for those of you who already have made real progress with prescription reductions, improving your eyesight, and are now getting into reducing prescription complexity. I posted this in the forum the other day in response to a patching question, worth a quick read here: Obviously, this is a pro topic. If you're new to all this, don't go monkeying around with your prescriptions. Given the option, a holistic [...]
World Tour Travel Schedule: January – Singapore
It's perhaps a bit grandiose, the title "world tour". Intended to be a bit tongue in cheek (much like "eye guru"), it's really just my usual trips to go visit students. Mostly it's an excuse to go see new places and not get stuck in endless routine.Usually the world tour is pretty simple, since I end up having a home base somewhere central to upcoming months of visits. So I might be staying in Berlin or Budapest for a few [...]
