A Must-Read Progress Update (Jon & Optometrist, -8.00 Progress)
Jon just posted his latest progress report in the forum. If you've been following Jon (here, here, and here) you already know that he has a thing for very detailed charts, independent verification, and putting everything into great concise detail. This one is a must-read, combining Jon's usually attention to detail, and optometrist verified measurements: Just came back from my O.D. First visit since I started improving my eyes. I waited until the end of the visit to mention that [...]
A Secret About Rapidly Improving Eyesight
Today's been another really interesting day in the support forum. Good questions, good comments, and I've just spent over an hour writing explanations and suggestions and tips. I wonder how much of that gets forever buried in the thousands of posts and threads and pages, never to be seen again. So here's one for you, saved to the blog. If you're a casual reader, you really just want to take this as high level concepts, not actionable advice. Fixing your [...]
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. While both measurements *should* produce similar results, in practice they tend to vary, especially in various stages of improvement. You may get some months with Snellen improving and [...]

Cadence Progress Report: From -10.00 Down to -7.50 (In A Year)

Paul’s Progress: -2.00 to -1.25 (in 3.5 months)
Here's Paul's progress report from the forum: Hi Jake, long overdue, but today I will add to your unicorn farm of progress reports, with some questions attached. So how is it going? I started at the End of July, so approximately 3,5 months into the program. I started with prescriptions between -1.75 and -2.00 and I noticed my eyes were getting worse (that’s another reason I joined this program). After some starting issues I did one lesson everyday and started to notice [...]
