Back To 20/20: Emily Passes DMV Vision Test
People ask, every so often ... Jake, do any your students actually get all the way back to 20/20? They realize that they read hundreds of improvement reports, diopter after diopter, but the full 20/20 stories are comparatively few and far between. So it's fair to wonder, at first glance. Does endmyopia just offer some vision improvement, based on the general nature of reports from students? Many Diopters, But Only One 20/20 The biggest piece to consider is exactly this. [...]
Another Study: Glasses Cause Rapid Myopia Progression In Children
Studies, darlings. Today we've got a very interesting one, showing very clearly that minus lenses cause children to get myopic faster - and conversely that *not* wearing glasses, while already mildly myopic, slows myopia progression. Yes, maybe you're rolling your eyes right now. Obviously all this is obvious. Still though, it's fun to rub studies in the establishment's clueless faces. So let's get to it. Study, titled: "Effect of uncorrection versus full correction on myopia progression in 12-year-old children." [...]
Bates Method: Getting In The Way Of Real Solutions (Video)
Quick YouTube story telling time, today. In this one I attempt to explain the harmful nature of the otherwise benignly silly concept of eye exercises. For most health related topics, there's the symptom managed, mainstream, quick-fix, pill popping side.

Take dentistry. Yea, you can eat candy and get cavities [...]

It's time for another (supportive) optometrist confirmed improvement report, darlings! Look at this one for all the ingredients of good progress. High myopia as a start, proper measurements of diopters required, improvements logged fitting the average expected annual rate of myopia reduction. Courtesy of Steven, posting in our Facebook group: Original post here. Bring out the horse, Jeeves, for this next bit. Myopia is one of the largest "health epidemics" humanity is facing today. Failing vision is affecting as many [...]
Strain-Stimulus Equilibrium: No Gains, Plateau Talk
Plateaus. A dreaded word, of no more 20/20 gains. Here's the thing, the progression that you're likely to experience. You start out with endmyopia, accepting the bearded sage's wisdom as your only true and divine eye-gospel. You find gains-ful salvation from the lens sellers and find yourself needing less and less of their artificial diopter eye poison. You're making righteous gains, just like the ones you keep reading about in all the improvement reports. Your vision improves, you're feeling [...]
Optometrist Confirmed: Jayesh Reduced -8.50 D To -7.00 D
Despite my best attempts to diversify the blog content, improvement reports remain our single most common feature. Why, you ask? Because we're awesome, that's why. Here's Jayesh: Full thread. Note that even the autorefractor, aka. optometry's Magic Eightball(tm), comes to the same conclusion here. How's this possible, day in, day out, all these gains from all these darling students? The only entirely reasonable explanation is the obvious one. Jake is actually back from the future, time traveled to your [...]
