The Biggest Eyesight Improvement Gains
There is a fairly common theme in many vision improvement programs. They tend to be comprised of exercises (which usually are not effective, long term - as discussed elsewhere in the blog), and often suggest not wearing glasses. From there, I get a fair amount of e-mail from people asking, whether they should indeed stop wearing glasses. To further substantiate the idea of benefits of not wearing glasses, there is feedback of great improvements, from participants even here, in [...]
Charles: “More Than Ten Years Officially Reverted”
Charles, while posting a brief account of his eyesight improvement so far, has an interesting perspective on reversing his myopia:Yesterday, I have had a big (predicatable, but enjoyable) surprise.Note : my last “real” prescription was measured on 2008 (-3.75D, -3.5D).I took my old 2002 (-3.25D, -2.75) “real” prescription and I test my vision with my 20 feet “not so well lightened” Snellen and realise that I can now, easily, without any effort, read 20/15 !I knew that (by the measurements) [...]
Ciliary Myopia Symptoms
Lately I have been posting a lot of eyesight improvement accounts, leaving behind a bit more specific myopia related topics. Today, let's take a quick look at ciliary myopia symptoms. It is a fairly common (mis)conception that myopia is entirely based on an elongation of the eyeball. The full myopia explanation can be found here - in short though, myopia tends to begin as a focusing muscle spasm (from close-up strain) that later develops into that axial elongation. For the most part, axial [...]
Vision Improvement: Recognize Opportunity
Let's look at a recent question in the forum: At school I wear full prescription contacts for 7 hours. Up close and far away I use them. I know this is bad but I usually make up for it by pulling focus and reading all those cheesy signs teachers put up the classroom. So when I come back from school My vision would be what I imagine below 50cm because I was using them with contacts for up close and [...]
Ruth Ann: Motivation
As discussed in 'how myopia happens', most myopia symptoms are actually a sign of a healthy eye - which is merely adjusting to strain. While ciliary myopia is the better case scenario for a myopia cure (a focusing muscle spam, often easily reversed), even axial myopia is nothing more than your eye adjusting to counter focusing muscle strain. If you remove the cause of the symptom, and add targeted positive stimulus, your healthy eyes will respond accordingly. Reducing myopia is [...]
One-on-One Program Pricing Change
The One-on-One option of the Web program is an excellent tool for clients who were not geographically close enough to visit the clinic, but still wanted to work on improving their eyesight. When the Vision Improvement Course began showing results, I decided to update the distance care program to reflect the new direction. With my retirement, and the new online resources including the forum, blog, and paid program, a prospective client now has a lot more options on how to improve [...]
