Al Does It With Just The Blog: -4.75 To 3.00 Progress
You can significantly improve your eyesight, just using the blog. I often say that you don't need to buy things from me. The e-mail series, plus reading, will definitely give you all the right ideas. Al reduced his prescription dependence by 1.75 diopters, in 11 short months. Inspiring, right? Al posts his progress update in the comments, in response to my freak-out rant from earlier:What a great post. I once had a martial arts instructor who held similar attitudes to [...]
From -2.25 To No-Glasses Clear Flashes
Matthew posts an update in the forum: I posted last month about a nice prescription reduction and my excitement about the progress I have made since last year. I reduced to: OD -2.50 *-.25 *177 OS -2.00 *-.50 *177 I adapted to the reduction faster than I thought, and could consistently clear to the 20/20 line on my snellen in good lighting. After 4 weeks at that prescription, I decided to try another reduction. Now, I am at: OD -2.25 [...]
US National Academy Of Sciences: Near Work Causes Myopia
A quick thanks to those who e-mailed in response to yesterday's post. Yes, I was losing my mind just a little bit there. It's a real issue with committing to bring you daily posts here on the blog, I'm bound to have an off day or two. Just know that I'm still doing a bit of finance consulting, then there's the baby thing, and I get a bit overambitious with helping you with your myopia. Too much, sometimes. We'll get [...]
I Don’t Spell Check
Rant post. Best just skip this one. I know. I'm not professional like the rest of the health talk world. That ship long sailed, somewhere around the time I started referring to you, my darling reader, as kittehs, as well as the countless references to my lack of Indian style beards, and probably the countless jabs at mainstream optometry. Although that last one, I'm really having on my list as a thing to stop doing. Today is one of those [...]
Finally: More Checkout Options
A quick housekeeping note: I know you've asked for this to-do item for years, quite literally. More payment options for your membership. If you've been following the blog you probably already know about the various administrative and technical stumbling blocks in the way of making more payment options a reality. Or so I say. A moment of brutal honesty: Neither I nor Alex we super serious about never missing out on potential business or money or payments. The whole not-just-Paypal thing could have probably been [...]
Prescription Tracking: Create Your Forum Signature
Help me help you - create a forum signature with your diopter details. If I can just look at your signature (which shows up under every post you make) to get your current prescription numbers, it saves you having to retype the numbers every time. Handy! It's also great as you look at other's questions to have a frame of reference for their prescriptions. Until we have a more sophisticated system to track your changes, this is also an easy [...]
