Q&A: Does Blur = Stress? And How Much Focus Is Too Much Focus?
A little Q&A from forum threads, today: Christian asks: Today, I was walking with my normalized glasses prescription at a mall. Usually every time I go out I “pull focus” with my normalized prescription as much as possible. They way I do it is that I stop and pay attention to a specific thing, usually some writing, blink a few times and wait for the image to sharpen a little bit. But, recently I was thinking that I was doing too [...]
The Dreaded Plateau: “Why Aren’t My Eyes Getting Better?”
Sooner or later, on your vision improvement journey, you're going to encounter the plateau.Yikes, the plateau. Though first thing to understand is that all improvement is cyclical. The cycles change and you don't start to see the pattern until quite a ways into your own improvement experience. I always suggest you keep a log, which also helps me assess whether you are genuinely "stuck" somewhere.When you first start out, you're likely going to be improving very quickly.At some point, that [...]

Still here?Ok so here is a bit of some thoughts about the site and myopia rehab, and my peculiar involvement.Things are eventually, maybe going to get a bit weird(er) around here. I've [...]
Christian: Why You Should Wear Glasses
Christian posts in the forum: TL:DR? If you are following this program, are building good eyesight habits and know that you should wear your minus that’s fine. But if you have tried other things and haven’t seen results, have not been wearing your minus, or think it will speed your recovery to just completely go without glasses: you could save MONTHS and YEARS of no improvement by taking some minutes to read this. —————————————————- You may have heard that idiom [...]
Video: Habits & Mindfulness
If you've been having an interesting experience making friends with your eyes, you might enjoy this new video.A few things of note:I'm not naturally the mindful-hippie-yoga-meditation type.If you're not either, rest assured that everything I bring up here, is first sent through a finely tuned hippie-BS filter. There's not fluff talk.Also somewhat ironic, the things I talk to you about in the video aren't things that finance-Jake would have even listened to.Over time the travels, different perspectives and experiences mellowed me [...]
