Double Vision Awareness Practice
This is a reminder post, to keep yourself fully engaged with distance vision practices. The 60's Installments of the Vision Improvement Course discuss the difference between blur and double vision - and how you can leverage them to continue challenging your viewing distance. This is an important subject, especially when you are outdoors, practicing pulling focus for distant objects. Most of the ongoing improvement tends to come from this exercise, while the focus pushing (up-close) work takes on a secondary [...]
Gabriel: From Panic Attacks to 20/20 Moments
When we discuss vision improvement goals with clients, there is the general consensus that most individuals would like to 'see better without glasses', and to avoid having to get stronger glasses. It is often not until their vision actually improves, that they notice more specific benefits, that impact quality of life.I have heard many account of clients describing the quality of the image as superior, without glasses, rather than with (in low myopia cases, if they have improved notably, in [...]

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) [...]
