Update:  New video on Youtube, about glasses & headaches. And other update (April 2020):  Rui eliminates her headaches caused by glasses (shortsighted podcast). Headaches due to glasses is something often easily sorted out. Depending on whether you wear glasses or contact lenses, your usage habits, and when the headaches occur, you can troubleshoot the cause.  I have had what feels like countless cases where glasses were ultimately the cause of headaches and migraines. This article applies both to rehab participants [...]

Two Year Progress: -7.50 Reduced To -4.50

Here we go, another progress report. Rare but also nice, today's update is from our YouTube comment section.  Yes, that comment section.  Yikes.  To be honest an old barefooted Guru VonTotterface doesn't spend a lot of time reading YouTube comments but luckily today we did look at the notifications. And wouldn't you know it, we got some gains report happening: Nice ones at that. Mostly YouTube comments are plzzz-bros asking diopter specific advice or teh steeeepz. Once in a while, though [...]

Srinidhi: Passed Drivers License Test, NO GLASSES

There are two ways this all could go, kittehz. One, Jake behaves hisself while writing this post.  No rants, no told-ya-so, no taking all the easy potshots at retail optometry and their mind bogglingly dumb idea of "genetic myopia". Or. Or this could be yet another of the million exposes of an entire industry besieged by complete falsehoods, scientifically disproven claims, blind arrogance, and so much irony that even a most dignified eye guru couldn't possibly catalog it all for you. Before [...]

All contents on this site should be considered research material only.  We are not offering medical advice or treatment or cures for any illnesses. The reduced lens method is strictly experimental. Before considering taking steps to control your own myopia, you should definitely visit a qualified ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eyesight checkup.   Specific diagnoses illnesses aside,  most) myopia may be considered to not be an illness at all.  Most myopia is likely just a matter of environmental strain, and excessive prescription use.  You yourself may be able to control and reduce your own myopia by 1) managing eye strain, 2) conservative prescription lens use, and 3) targeted positive stimulus. We recommend finding a prevention minded optometrist to supplement your journey with professional advice and prescription management help.  While not a requisite, a supportive optometrist may make your journey that much more enjoyable! Potential Side Effects: (1) You may experience astigmatism-like symptoms, especially if you reduce too fast or without paying attention to this (transient) symptom. Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
