Questions & Answers. You have questions. And Jake has answers, especially if they haven’t been covered in one of the other sections of the blog / free guides.
Many of the topics here originate from your e-mails, or from Quora, or threads in our Facebook group, or even YouTube comments on occasion. Natural myopia control is a wide ranging and complex subject, and this might be the section to find answers to some of your questions. Browse and discover!
Cadence Progress Report: From -10.00 Down to -7.50 (In A Year)
There's a backlog of progress updates from the forum, and encouraging e-mails. A backlog! Love it. :-) Very awesome to read that many of you are benefitting from the blog and BackTo20/20. Even more awesome (and many thanks for the inspiration) that some of you are taking the time to write and share the details. You're helping others get inspired, find insights, gain self confidence. And it's keeping me motivated to dig into the e-mails every day and post on the blog. [...]
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 [...]
Scientists, 75% Astigmatism Reductions, & Pinhole YOLOs
A quick cross section of various questions and comments, today: It would be so silly easy, all of this myopia discussion, if we were all scientists. So, so, so dreamily easy. Trouble is, a lot of the PDFs and things I link in the science section, are all full of partially unnecessary academic lingo. So unless you're used to weeding through it, you might be inclined to skip the science due to complete boredom. That's very common and very unfortunate, [...]
Connected? Sugar, Sleep & Bad Eyesight
Glasses stop a key feedback loop from working properly. You're supposed to get "warnings" when you abuse your body. But with lens prescriptions, you might not be. At some point in the future, generations from now, the medical community is going to shake their collective heads at the folly of how we deal with myopia today. We have no idea what we're doing, prescribing lenses to billions of people. Billions. Meanwhile myopia spirals out of control worldwide, and nobody has [...]
Novartis Sabotages Reasonable Eye Treatment
Health for profit. Doctors and symptom treatment. Big pharma owning the narrative. I bring up stories substantiating this, often. Why? Because your darling frou-frou hippie eye guru knows about the power of doctrine. Both of my parents are medical doctors. It's like a pill-firing brigade of pharma sales yes-man, back in the childhood home of Jakey. You can't talk to them about it, either. My dad in particular, smart guy. Mensa. Private practice & ran major clinics. Published. Patients [...]
I Bought A Macbook Air In The Himalayas
Warning: This is just musings, not really worth reading for eyesight health advice. You might just go tl;dr, WTH, Jake. The long and short of this whole post, don't let technology enable bad habits. --- As you probably know by now, I have a tendency to vagabond around the world. It's not so much travel that I do, than actual vagabonding. I'm usually too lazy to travel, as in having a return trip ticket and some kind of a plan [...]
