A Mind Bending Premise: 20/20 Could Bad News For Your Eye Health
Bad news is a matter of context. But think about this: how many people do you know who ever got better after they went to the temple of the 20/20 worship? The thing is, what you are being told by the optometrist, the whole story about 20/20, is a fairly gigantic fallacy when it comes to the realities of your eyesight. Yes, sure. You can get glasses to let you see 20/20. Or 20/10. Or 20/8. But ... is [...]
Shannon’s First Week: -9.00 Lowered To -7.50
Shannon kindly took the time to post an update in the forum: My job is that I make online courses for universities, so I love self-directed learning. I would say that so far the course has been a completely transformative learning experience for me because I didn’t know that myopia rehab was a possibility at all. It’s like being in a wheelchair, being told you’ll only get worse, and that you have no control over your condition due to genetics, and [...]
Sara’s Progress: -5.50 to -3.25

Your Favorite Vision Stimulating Activities

Others include going for walks outside with little/no prescription usage to work on peripheral awareness, fusing double-vision, etc. There is one activity in particular that I feel has really helped me though. Racquetball While [...]
Behind The Scenes: Books Coming
Neha: "Do you think people hate the site? I write all these posts and it's just an odd process in my mind. I have no idea what people think. There's no feedback, like talking to a person." Me: "Yea, they probably do. Except I like your articles. I bet readers do, too. If you write them all and I just keep quiet, things will probably turn out great." Neha: "I'll only keep writing blog posts if you get those book guides up on [...]
Headaches & Depression: Why You Don’t Want 20/8 Vision
Shannon posts in the forum:I just wanted to send you my deepest gratitude for helping me with all of this! I think I was grossly overprescribed because I can see like a hawk now, and I could never see this well before with my strong prescription. I was actually prescribed -8.5 and -7.5 contacts which is totally wrong. It’s literally a magical experience being able to see again. So I just wanted to thank you!There is a whole thread related to [...]
