How To: Reducing Focusing Muscle Spasms
The following is relevant if you a) use differential prescriptions only for all close-up work, and b) keep track of outdoor distance vision during the day. I mention this off and on here on the blog, as well as the Vision Improvement Courses: Contrary to popular belief, we don't multi-task. Our brains will only do one thing at a time, even if quick 'task switching' may make it seem as though we are multi tasking. Why does this matter so [...]
How To: Getting The Most Out Of Your Peak Prescription
In Installment #58 of the Adult Vision Improvement program, we discuss the Peak Prescription: If you have been doing the occasional centimeter measurement, and sneaking a look at the Snellen once in a while, you have noticed something interesting. Sometimes, your vision is just … better. You get an extra line on the Snellen, or your centimeter is an extra several increments further. It happens. It usually happens when you slept well the night before, you don’t feel stressed, you haven’t [...]

That edge of focus is where we get stimulus for improvement from, where we experience active focus. Past that edge though, where the image is just blurred, nothing beneficial happens. Some of us prefer not to wear glasses, no [...]
Simple Tips For Avoiding Child Myopia
A few excerpts from Installment #11 of the Child Myopia Program: There are two main components to close-up: Distance and time. If we observe neither, we may have a child that spends three hours at 20cm from a screen – which almost certainly guarantees significant myopia in the child’s future. Our goal is to affect both time and distance, without creating a major desire for the child to cheat. This requires slow and modest changes, to give the child’s mind time to [...]
Corinne: -3D to 20/20 in 18 Months
With Corinne's permission, a repost from her blog: You will find many statements in literature and on the Internet claiming that there is no cure for myopia. My experience shows the reverse to be true. These two images represent what my naked-eye vision was like before and after 18 months of hard work on improving my vision. In fact, the "Before" image is too good, but it is not easy to represent what myopic eyes truly see by means of [...]
