Q&A #17: Equalizing Low Myopia
Cutting it close today, on the daily blog. 10:13PM, just getting home, have to get this up so you get the daily dose of all the things. Since I don't quite have the energy left to talk about studies or improvement reports, we'll have to make do with the latest video Q&A for today. Little bit of pointless trivia: There was a time that I had gotten it in my head that I'd need a bit of a nest in [...]
Can Axial Length Be Reduced For Less Myopia?

William (-5.25): 50% Improvement In 6 Months
Lots of interesting stories and commentary in the forum, today. Quick aside: I've been doing screenshots instead of text copy/paste lately just because it somehow feels more authentic (but then also slightly more blurry, ironically). Here's William's comment: "0.5 centimeter improvement, per week". Great work. Always remember to check Snellen as well.
