Fleur: Suddenly Able To Read Distant Signs
Yesterday we looked at Roberto's progress from -3.75 to -2.50. In that post I emphasize that you really don't need to buy things from me to fix your eyesight. This is an important point. You're not being asked to spend money for knowledge (because of course Jake is part hippie and believes in sharing more than capitalist imperatives). How about me talking about myself in third person? But then lots and lots of people opt to buy things. And the not-hippie part of [...]
Off-Topic Sunday: Vintage Vespas, Payment Gateways, & Pooping Babies
Above: A tranquil moment while on a walk outside the hospital. ---- Every time it's Sunday, I forget it's Sunday. And I write an on-topic blog post for you. And then half the time during the week the motivation factor is a bit low and I really just want to put up some random pictures and totally unrelated musings. It's sort of like if you spend eight hours a day in the office. You make friends with co-workers, and you bring some parts [...]
Roberto’s 10 Month Progress: From -3.75 Reduced to -2.50
There is one phrase I type so many times that my fingers probably twitch these keystrokes while I sleep: You don't need to buy anything from me, to improve your eyesight. Everything you need is in the blog. Usually it's something I mention responding to e-mails from people saying they wish they could afford BackTo20/20, or that they'll do it eventually, or asking whether they can get an extension for sign-up, or an exception if their invite already expired. And I [...]
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 set the "reply-to" e-mail address as my main e-mail. My reasoning at the time? I didn't want to blast out e-mails in a one way type of dialog. I wanted readers to be able to hit reply, tell me whatever was on their minds, and for me to actually receive [...]
