Preventing & Curing Myopia: A Communist Perspective
We got a few comments on my inaugural contribution to Alex' blog! Well done. Alex responded by sending me a login to the site, and carte blanche (for now at least, till he realizes the folly of that decision) on adding posts. If you enjoy it, do leave some comments to calm his conservative Austrian nerves a bit. ;-)Just A Bit Of Background About Me:I come from the evils of institutional finance. I'm a pretty selfish guy, all things told. [...]
Transient Axial Length Change – Mainstream Ophthalmologists Don’t Understand Myopia
Following, a guest post by Jake Steiner, a brilliant practitioner of functional and holistic ophthalmology. Leave a comment if you would like more guest posts of this nature.---Technology doesn't necessarily make us any smarter. Going to see ophthalmologists, when I travel to a new country, is a bit of a strange hobby of mine. It's always fascinating to see how money (in a relative sense of wealth of the country), culture (self reliance vs. co-dependence), and the tentacles of Big Optometry™ [...]
Steve: High Myopia Progress Report (7 Months: -7.50 to -6.00)
I get a lot of e-mails from readers asking about high myopia and the possibility to reverse it. As I always tell them, high myopia is (in practice) no different from low myopia. You're just starting out a bit further away from full recovery to 20/20. Of course there are some differences in physiology (potential axial myopia), but none of that matters for how you approach your improvement goals. People often struggle to believe me. Can it really be so [...]
Sara’s Journey: The Truth About Long Term Vision Improvement Potential
Here is a testament of how much persistence pays off: Since we last looked at Sara's progress, she has cut her earlier close-up prescription strength in half (!), and is now again ready to reduce it further. From a -3.00 for close-up, she is looking at -1.25 / -1.00 now. Amazing progress, which we are going to look at here in a bit of detail.It's important to look at experience like Sara's, to put in perspective this particular method of [...]
The American Academy Of Optometry: Is Vision Therapy New Age Bunk?
I have been going through some of my favorite pieces of research for a friend, and an interesting book project. While I've been discouraged to talk about that, I'd like to bring you some of the choices pieces here, to the blog. It's hard to choose since so many of them are equally compelling and disturbing. So in no particular order, take a look at this (titled "Vision Therapy to Reduce Abnormal Nearwork Induced Transient Myopia"; by Ciuffreda, Kenneth J. OD, PhD, [...]
#1 Way To Improve Vision: Positive Stimulus – Here Is How To Get More
It's no secret that the whole world is becoming myopic as a direct result of our close-up lifestyle. For this reason the paid vision improvement course is focused primarily on how to deal with this most common lifestyle (close-up vision). Every so often though, participants come around who don't fit this mold. They may be spending far more of their time outdoors, or otherwise engaged in activities where close-up isn't their main mode.These participants have a whole lot of opportunity to [...]
