Bad Plateaus & The Looking Glass
There's a daily routine I try to stick to with #endmyopia. Part of it, checking in on the forum, and writing a new blog post for you. Another part, going through the Web sessions and updating one every day from the old course, to my updated sessions. Some things we keep from the original, others are tweaked, expanded, improved. And then I dig through my notes, studies, source material, for the extended sessions. When I took over here, I committed [...]
Optometry Science Admits They Did It
I neglected yesterday's post duties. Let's make up for it today, with some <3 science. --- As always, I show you studies published in the very journals meant for optometrists and ophthalmologists. The irony in all of this should be self evident. First up today, the Journal of the College of Optometrists. What you should take note of as you read these things, that these are journals as far removed from pseudo science or anti optometry rhetoric as you can get. [...]
Q&A: Contact Lenses vs. Glasses (for rehab)
A quick one today, from the forum. Blake asks: So I just had a thought. My Rx is so high it causes a fisheye effect and it causes me to be very self concious, which was a big reason for going back to contacts. Would it be wiser to wear my full distance Rx in contacts and wear a +.25 or so for distance and then a +1.5 or so for close up work as opposed to a 1.5 lower [...]
Are Insect Protein Bars Vegetarian?
Get ready, kittehs. We're taking the bus off-(topic)-road. The question today: Is eating eating insects vegetarian? What if you're spiritually opposed to eating meat, does eating a cockroach count as "meat"? (I know, I know. Trolling question. But ... does it?) Or, if you don't eat meat because of environmental impact, would you eat bugs but maintain vegetarian status? Rather than a long winded explanation that you don't eat meat, except for little insects? And lastly, if you don't [...]
Your Kid’s Eyes Are A Different Story
I had planned to write an article today, to (again) talk about how child's eyes aren't the same as adult eyes. Or rather, the child brain isn't the same as the adult brain. I've seen both a lot better success with children and improving eyesight than with adults, and a lot less success as well. The common thread in whether or not you get your child's eyes back to great vision, is always the same. Understanding child motivation is key [...]
Optometrist Confirms: Roy’s (-0.75) Astigmatism Is Cured
I'm only using the words "astigmatism and cured" together, because Google. People search for these things. In reality, it's not a cure, because of course Roy's eyes were never ill in the first place. Astigmatism, in the majority of cases, is not an illness. Roy's eyes were simply affected by artificial focal plane changes, introduced by unnecessary prescription complexity with his previous glasses. Once Roy started working on the right kind of stimulus, and addressing prescriptions, his eyes adapted. Astigmatism "cured" [...]
