Just because they overprescribe doesn't mean that you should go t0o far into the opposite direction with glasses.

The All Important 1,000 LUX Rule
Luxie, luxie.Just the other day I finally got around to updating the Web program to some lux-goodness. It's something Alex wasn't that big on, but I happen to think is not just interesting but also pretty key.You might find it interesting to know, the amount of available light notably affects your eyesight.(Which also, "night blindness" isn't really a thing, at least not in most cases.

Is It Possible? 20/50 to 20/15 Vision In 3 Weeks
Kim writes in the forum:So, it’s been about 3 weeks now with my -4.25 (L) and -4.75 (R) normalized prescription. For a while now, I could only see around 20/50 and sometimes 20/40.

Grabbed that shot above on the Bangkok subway last week.Look at those people, no clue that they're working hard on ruining their eyesight.Artificial lighting, pretty dim to begin with. A subway, in motion. Those three, faces just inches from those tiny screens. And the whole time the subway car is moving around, so their eyes are having to continually try to keep focus on those screens.If I had to engineer the highest possible level of eye strain ... there it [...]

Two interesting stories, today. First one is from Paul, who asks via e-mail: I’ve been browsing through your 7 day email course and first of all I wanted to say thank you for all the incredible and free information. If been also checking out your „join“ page and thinking about buying the course, but as I am a student, although health conscious and willing to invest if I see a good opportunity, which you course seems to be, I wanted [...]
