What You Missed: The Focal Plane Leap
Focal plane leap session: What we are going to find from this session, is that you can overcome a 1.25 diopter correction need, by using my blur focus method. This means, that if you currently need a -1.25 differential correction to see at 50cm distance, you can accomplish the same vision, at the same distance, without any correction (though it will take some work to make this persistent, and will take some notable effort and focus initially). In a [...]
Reducing Potential Harmful Prescription Complexity
Have you seen your eyeglass prescription recently? If you haven't, it might be worth a look! Chances are, it is anything but straightforward, and looks like something in the above image. There will be a difference between your left and right eye spherical values. Then, there will most likely be an astigmatism correction. This one adds a whole lot of complexity to the lens that you see the world through. You have different values for each eye, and then also [...]
Key Prescription Risks That Everyone Should Understand
Two recent forum topics bring to light the need to discuss eyeglass prescription strength, both for program participants, and casual readers alike. I also have a pair of +1.25 glasses, which was the lowest power I could get at the drugstore. I hope to “grow into” these but in the meantime am wearing them about 1 hour a day at the computer. This has my face about 6 or 7 inches from the screen — not that comfortable, but it’s [...]
Unduly Neglected: The Importance of Using Distance Vision
There was a recent thread in the forum, discussing the lack of improvement on part of a few program participants. While of course I prefer to highlight the positives of the program, and build trust and a positive attitude (which helps you improve your eyesight as well), we can't ignore the lessons from some of the setbacks. Here is the thread in question, if you would like to read the first hand account: http://www.frauenfeldclinic.com/myopia-forums/topic/active-focus-focus-pushing-and-pulling/ If you spend enough time in [...]
Defined: The Blur Horizon
Taken from the program, while doing a little clean-up - this topic deserves a spot outside of the paid program. It is key to understanding what the #endmyopia Method is about, and how to actively manage prescription strength to minimize eye strain (and if you want, to improve your vision). While I try to keep specialized terminology to a minimum, there are a number of concepts that require definition, to help us quickly refer to ideas and methods of your [...]
The Significant Power of Habits for Vision Improvement
We talk a lot about habits, here in the blog, and in the Vision Improvement Courses. We discuss the specifics of habits that will enhance your eyesight, but I never really expanded on the nature of habit itself. Habits. It is a subject outside of the scope of this site, and yet it is key to the whole premise of the #endmyopia Method. This is not an exercise program - this is a program designed to help you identify habits [...]
