Questions & Answers. You have questions. And Jake has answers, especially if they haven’t been covered in one of the other sections of the blog / free guides.
Many of the topics here originate from your e-mails, or from Quora, or threads in our Facebook group, or even YouTube comments on occasion. Natural myopia control is a wide ranging and complex subject, and this might be the section to find answers to some of your questions. Browse and discover!
Why You Should Be Keeping A Log
Of course it sounds like extra work, keeping a log, especially a proper one which includes: Prescription strength history Snellen results - morning, good natural lighting Snellen results - artificial lighting Snellen results - end of the day, poor lighting Centimeter results Factoring in centimeter results for various conditions, including before and after close-up time, that is quite a bit of data to keep track of. On the upside, most of the measuring you do in the first [...]
How To: Finding Active Focus
A key aspect to improving your eyesight is active focus. There are a number of posts dedicated to this topic, since it is quite important - and yet elusive until you find how it works, for you. Words don't translate the connection between brain and muscle control, it is a bit of a process to find that connection. I compare it often to figuring out how to wiggle your nose, or wink. Many of us discovered this and other obscure [...]
Active Focus Games For Your Children
There was a time, many years past, when our limited imagination at the #endmyopia project didn't make childrens' lives so easy.

That and the intervening years of experience, and creativity of clients, made our child programs really come alive. Our eyesight improvement programs for the young [...]
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.

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 [...]
Protecting Eyesight: Fix Your Viewing Distance
Myopia recovery is all about taking small but persistent actions.The theory is simple, and if you follow the blog at all, you already know the basics. I won't repeat them here, you can take a look at some of the link at the top of the site for all the core subjects. What matters past that, is what you can do, today.This is especially relevant if you participate in any of my Vision Improvement Courses - just how do you keep [...]
