One Single Question To Predict Your Success Or Failure
Ever notice how it barely registers in your mind as long as everything goes smoothly? It's like that with my students. Sometimes I feel slightly anxious thinking that there are literally hundreds and hundreds of people reading, applying, adjusting, working on their eyesight based on the BackTo20/20 lessons. And I don't hear from 90% of them, more than maybe once or twice a month. Sure, the program based on a decade of direct experience, besides fixing my own eyes. The [...]
Tori: Two Whole Diopters Less And Still 20/15???
Tori writes in the forum: Yesterday, my contact lenses arrived in an array of prescription strengths from -3.25 to -4.5. Since I have my Snellen chart, I put in my -4.00 lenses into my left eye (prescribed -4.50), opting for a larger reduction since I feel like my left eye was particularly over prescribed, and started with -3.50 (prescribed -3.75) in my right eye. Here were the Snellen results (at end of the day): R: -3.50, still 20/15 and crystal [...]
Fountain Of Youth? Fixing Your Eyes When You’re Over 70
You know the eyesight intro course you can subscribe to from all over the site? Well, I did something pretty stupid with it when I set it up. How stupid?

I wanted readers to be able to hit reply, tell me whatever was on their minds, and for me to actually receive [...]
Steroids To Boost Dynamic Visual Acuity
So my friend wants to come visit at the hospital, see the small monkey. She's taking the skytrain which stops at a station conveniently just a few kilometers from the hospital. I tell here I'll pick her up on the bike, help us dodge rush hour traffic. Since I haven't slept properly in days and spent all my remaining time indoors and reading books, my eyesight isn't amazing today. It's also after dark and rainy, altogether not making for ideal [...]
Paul: Increasing Vision Distance From 50cm To 65cm
Looks like I'm settling in for a few days at the hospital. All is well except for the lack of Wifi or even decent cell signal. Not quite yet comfortable being gone for long, girl is still just recovering from c-section and getting used to new baby things. But still, I said *daily* posts. So here it is. Paul posts an interesting progress update in the forum: Hi Jake, I’ve been quiet for too long now :(, a one week vacation [...]
Baby Time
The site promises daily blogs, so just a quick one today. Picture your average Western European guy. Picture him, inclined by questionable decision making or otherwise, far from the home shores. Asia. Thailand in particular. Picture him in Thailand with a Burmese girlfriend, who (oops) ended up pregnant, and just right now is in labor at some Bangkok hospital, where cultural and language and various other barriers are adding to the level of interesting-ness. Adding perhaps more than one might [...]
