Unlock A Hidden One Diopter Margin In Your Vision
This is an advanced topic, suitable for those who already did the full Vision Improvement Course and made it specifically to a consistent double vision experience. ---If your normalized prescription gets you to 20/30 or 20/40 on the Snellen, and you frequently work to the double vision distance up-close, you probably have more margin in your vision than you might be aware of. To see if that is the case, and to leverage that hidden diopter, here is a good [...]
UK’s Biggest Parenting Site Wants Money To Tell Parents About Child Health Risks
Mumsnet is the UK's biggest parenting site, blog network, and forum. Hundreds of thousands of parents count on Mumsnet for advice and guidance. What parents don't know: all that advice and guidance is for sale.---Yes, mumsnet told us that they would let us talk about myopia, if we paid them 25,000 pounds per week for the privilege. If UK parents want their children not to become myopic, we'd have to buy in to tell the story. Same as a lens manufacturer [...]
How To: Getting A Test Lens Kit
The most reliable, and ultimately decisive tool used at the optometrist, is a test lens kit and eye chart. Sure, there is the autorefractor and various other options but ultimately you always end up in front of test lenses, and an eye chart. We talk about measurements a lot, here, and I offer a number of tools to measure myopia for yourself. These options are as good or better than what you get at the optic shop, for a number [...]
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 [...]
