Do I Need A Test Lens Kit? (for vision improvement)
Here's a quick video lesson on whether you need a test lens kit. Note that this is based on many years of experience, which isn't easy to whittle down into a couple minutes of video. (Especially when you deal with the sort of majestical guru who doesn't script or plan his videos.) And as usual, don't go monkeying around with stuff unless you know what you're doing. I get comments on videos from people who can't grasp basic math or [...]

So here is a vaguely common and recurring problem. With some newbies to endmyopia. They read, browse, see all kinds of talk about reduced diopters. So they think, hey that's great.

Doug: 20/40 Without Glasses (PLEASE LET’S BAN SCIENCE)
Update: Post picture updated (minus previous awesome Jake guru image) after some fairly intriguing online threats from the "**** community". Note, I'm totally for religious freedom but equally for not being sh*theads towards people who happen to not share whatever beliefs. Various gods and idols may from time to time make an appearance on this blog, lending their divine cred to our cause. Cheers. So, darlings.

Optometry Student: We Don’t Give A FUU#%$

The ones in particular with soft hearts and big eyes and open minds and high hopes for humanity not irradiating itself in the nearest future. For others, it'll be, meh.
