Vision Improvement: A Good New Years Resolution Project?
This is the time of the year where I frequently get two questions: 1) Is Vision Improvement A Good Christmas Gift For Friends Or Relatives? That question I have no unequivocal answer to, and I won't use it as a sales pitch to get you to sign up someone else for the program. In truth, I think this type of approach works only for those who want it. So as a gift, the program subscription would only suit someone who a) [...]
Reminder: If You Lower Prescriptions, Use This Strategy
I am sure we have discussed this before, but it bears repeating: Anytime you get a reduced prescription, make sure to limit your mind's point of reference from the previous prescription. If you get new differential (for close-up) lenses, don't start wearing them on the same day that you were wearing your previous, higher differential. Doing so will exaggerate the sense of blur, and have your experience starting off on the wrong foot. Instead, put the new ones aside (resist [...]
From The Free Mini Myopa Rehab Course
A few of you have reported that the automatic e-mail sending the promised free installment had some hiccups. You may have received the first installment a second time, rather than the second installment itself! For those of you this happened to, here is the e-mail content you missed: If you go to the optician every year, you may find that your eyesight gets worse by an average of 0.75 diopters per year. From 42 years in this practice, I find [...]
Winter Installments, Updates
The second Winter Installment should have loaded for you this weekend.

Also, verbatim the installment should be used only if you are below -2.00 in correction already. Otherwise you don't want to go without glasses for that time, instead use the [...]
Why Does The Optic Shop Require Prescriptions?
This is a very frequent topic in e-mails and the forum, and often the cause for frustration: Optic shops require an optometrist prescription for you to get glasses. There is a large degree of arbitrary enforcement of this rule. For one, it depends on the locale you live in. Some areas are more strict than others about prescription requirements. A good idea is to look around and find an optician who is willing to prescribe you lowered prescription per your [...]
Winter Installments: The Vision Stimulus Un-Habit
Things are not quite on schedule this month, the second installment of the Winter Installments is running a bit late. I will make up for the delay by adding a few bonus Installments, beyond the four originally planned. In the second installment, due to be in your installments folder by the weekend, we discuss the un-habit. For most of the Vision Improvement Course we talk about the importance of forming habits from the content of the installments. The #endmyopia Method [...]
