Emotional State & Vision Improvement Progress
Emotions, darlings. Emotions which may or may not run high, as you're exploring your way through the wee maze that is endmyopia, and the biology of why and how your eyes are all out of tune. Detuned by retail optometry. Figuring that out may make you bit emotional. And then there's the journey. Granted, ole uncle Jakey doesn't exactly make it any easier than necessary. If you're doing it the DIY, freeloader, thanks-Jake-but-i'll-just-take-your-labor-fruits-for-free approach, then I probably didn't add satin [...]

Never Let Your Optometrist Do THIS
Ahhhh crickbait. Not really, though. I do want you to get measurements from various perspectives. Eye charts, centimeters, real outdoor landmarks .... and yes, from an optometrist, as well. Though to be honest, I skipped optometrists for years myself, not having felt the patience for rudeness or arrogance. But there are nice ones. A supportive optometrist, a definite asset. And then, whoever this guy is: Double, triple yikes. This isn't news, or unusual either. In fact, this is the [...]

This just one I really thought was awesome, from the Facebook group. Justin made his own customized diopter measuring tape: How fancy is THAT. The starting point comes of course from the endmyopia downloads. Besides our custom eye charts and quasi astigmatism measuring tools and various Android and Windows measuring and logging apps, there [...]
