Felix: -9.00 High Myopia To 20/40 WITHOUT GLASSES

Hello darlings! Your favorite eye guru has been increasingly less completely on point of keep track of 20/20 gains updates posted by our kitteh gang.   Every time I say there are more updates than I can post here, and every month it seems like the last time I said it was much fewer in comparison to the current moment.  More and more and moar gains updates are coming in, as the site and project continue to get more participants.

Ophthalmologist Claims 3 Year Old Has 4 Diopters Of Astigmatism

Meow, kittehs. Today, a bit of a rant.  Or rather, sweeping up the pieces of a rant that exploded all over various darling screens yesterday. All of it because of some completely insane optometry meddling with child eyes. Here's the e-mail that kicked it all off: Dark clouds on the horizon, I see. All the things wrong with this, it's hard to know where to even begin. This is what I had posted in our Facebook group yesterday: 3 Year [...]

Presbyopia: What It Is And How To Reverse It

Video format post, kittehs! Today we've got ouseffs a quick one on presbyopia.  Yes, an old guru has gotten all the questions about presbyopia half a trillion times, and half a trillion times has said that this is end-myopia, not end-presbyopia. But alas, reason doesn't get you far on the Internets, and finally a beard relenteth. Presbyopia: The face of resignation. Takeaway? Yes you might be getting old and yes your lenses are hardening.  Whether that's enough of an excuse [...]

Pro Topic: Managing Your Maximum Diopter Gap

Diopter Gap: Number of diopters between your differential and normalized correction. This one falls squarely into advance topics. For most people, choosing a differential based on ergonomically comfortable close-up distance from a computer screen, and a differential based on about 20/30 on a Snellen chart, results in a diopter gap of around 1.5 diopters.   Lots of factors can play into the individual diopter gap. Anything from accommodation range (age), ambient lighting, alternate close-up distances, preferences for distance vision diopter [...]

Kashyap: 9 Year Old Daughter From 27 cm to 139 cm

Right to the point, today. Jakey's got kids (just one for now but more hopefully coming soon).  It's one thing to be myopic yourself, letting yourself go.   Your kids, though.  They deserve for us to give them the best possible head start. A head start that often doesn't benefit from retail optometry.   Here's Kashyap: Up to you. Myopia isn't a "condition".  It's only a refractive state your eyes adapted.  Too much close-up and minus lens focal plane stimulus. [...]

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!
