Jake Steiner here, your temporary blog host.  

Everything is here in Alex’ blog for the motivated reader, to improve their vision.  You don’t need to spend money on the paid course, you can easily dig through the forum and blog, and impressively enough, it really is all here.  Props to Alex to spend a lifetime providing myopia rehab advice, retiring, and then building an amazing resource like this.  

More impressive even, if you ever met Alex.  This guy has never even owned a cell phone, much less used a computer or e-mail (till in his 60’s!).

Anyway, let’s look at Robin, who is making great strides, with the help of only himself:

quotes-blueThis is not my first post on the forum but I haven’t yet introduced myself.I’m 21 , a college student
and I am an avid reader of the blog and forum posts for information,tips and motivation though I’m not a paid member.Though I hail from India I started my schooling abroad(in KSA) and stayed there still my 7th grade.Well I had a close up lifestyle now that I think about it.Well,I became myopic by the age of 10 starting at -1.5D I think.Bythe age of 12 I was at -3.25(now that I think about it , I went to the optometrist after dusk and the lighting was quite bad,so I think that was an over prescription then).Then my prescription become stable before it jumped up again at the start of college to -4D(Though I am again guilty of making the trip to the optometrist in bad light conditions.)It was then that I really started looking seriously at my eyesight and decided to make use of the internet to look up ways to improve my eyesight.I found out about some Tibetan eye exercise and palming and started practicing them though I never felt that it would help my vision though I should say that palming still feels really good and eyes feel relaxed after doing it.Then I found out about gettingstronger.org and subsequently this site.I started rehab in Dec2013 starting at -4D,25cm in both eyes(no astigmatism)
After removing full prescription for all close up and print pushing(pushing focus with naked eyes :
By Jan 2014
Cm reading:LE:30-32cm
RE:27-28cm
I only got hold of my normalized prescription by the end of march which was a mistake as my improvement stagnated there.
My first normalized was -3.25D in both eyes.I started at 20/30,20/25 in April to 20/20 in July.My night vision though was still lagging but improved gradually.By September 5 I switched to -2.75D starting at 20/40,20/30.By Oct 23 I could read 20/20 in the morning though my night reading is in the 20/40s have attached the progress report below.
My question is:
The main reason that I have not mentioned cm is that I had stopped measuring cm regularly as I had lost motivation to measure cm as there is not much improvement cm wise(Last cm measurement on Oct 23:
LE:32-33cm
RE:28-29cm or 30cm)

I took the liberty of bolding the key aspects.  And here is the whole forum thread.

Alex is still answering all of the e-mail that is relevant, I’m just helping out with the Website (briefly and very, very temporarily).   

Since I’ve been having to look at it quite often recently, one might say that whole project could possibly use a bit of additional organizing (and a bit more of a clear approach on the basics).  I wouldn’t say that it’s made easy for the first time casual visitor, I feel your pain if you just started out browsing around here.  Another one of Alex’ tricks no doubt, having me deal with this long enough to have my OCD kick in and write you a few quick ebooks on all the key aspects of improving your eyesight.

Also and meanwhile, the paid course is easily the best hundred bucks you will ever spend on protecting this very precious one of your five senses.  It’s quicker, easier, and it also supports this project.

Hopefully the man will be back in action next week, and everything will be back to normal.  He’s fine, don’t worry. Do take care of your eyes!
