Peripheral Vision Exercise With Contact Lenses
Very early on in the Vision Improvement Course, we talk about peripheral vision awareness. It would seem a bit odd to get into that so early on, since the main things that contribute to your eyesight's improvement are a) lowered strain, b) active focus, and c) the correct use of prescriptions. And while I do keep the first month tightly focused on the key subjects, peripheral vision is more important than we might think. Realize about how big your [...]
Expectations: How Fast Can I Improve My Vision?
You probably have asked yourself this very question, at some point while reading articles on this site. "How fast can I improve my vision, then?" This question comes up frequently of course, and I hesitate to put out a general response. In the clinic this was a bit easier to answer. It depends on every individual case, though many of these individual cases are reasonably predictable. Let's say you are 30, physically active, with a healthy diet, spend nine hours [...]

Child Myopia: Prescription Realities
Today is busier than usual, and I hadn't planned on taking time for a new article here in the blog. But then while answering forum questions, something came up that I want to share with you, before it gets lost in the to-do list of the day. This topic, a short comment about child myopia prescriptions: There is an interesting round of posts by Aparna in the forum, about Kedar, her young son and his myopia: Nov 2012 (optometrist): -4.5 RE [...]
Morning Exercise: Calibrating Your Vision
Some of the blog posts assume that you have an understanding of the #endmyopia Method, and ideally maybe even participated in the Vision Improvement Course. This is one of those articles. I have not yet come up with a good way to identify these 'previous knowledge necessary' articles. It is on the list though, for the next creative moment. Recently we talked about double vision vs. blur, in this article. It created quite a bit of inquisitive e-mail, and a small forum [...]
