Pro Topic: Another Active Focus Post
Pro topic. Blog visitor noobs, don't email me asking me why you can't find active focus. Read! ;) Active focus is a very key premise of our method of natural myopia reversal. You go from passively seeing your world, the way high prescription glasses will force you to do, to being actively engaged in the quality of your eyesight. Sounds fluffy unicorns, right? Not really. Some will have you believe that making zero effort is just fine for human biology, but [...]
The 30 Day Trick, From Matthew (-4.00 TO -1.25)
Matthew started at out a -4.00, two years ago. He since managed to reverse most of his myopia (to -1.25), with persistence and good habits. If there's one thing I'll teach my child, it'll be to set yourself a goal, and then surround yourself with people who already accomplished what you're just setting out to do. There's no sense going at it alone, or listening to anyone other than those who are already where you're trying to go. Cut [...]
Free, 100% Effective Natural Myopia Control
If you are a parent with a newly myopic child, you have very likely heard of things like Ortho-K, or perhaps explored atropine drops to slow myopia progression. There is even now support for close-up specific focal planes, a premise previous decried and vilified by much of the mainstream.These are signs of our time, where the mainstream is starting to look at myopia control.I love it!But not because I'd advocate Ortho-K (I wouldn't), or putting poison drops in your eyes. [...]
Pro Topic: Double Vision Ruining Your Life?
Have you ever heard me say ... the forum is gold? Yes Jake, you say. You're saying it all the time. But unless you're one of the big ballers in the very shiny, very exclusive BackTo20/20 club (from where Jake get all the yacht-fuel monies), you don't get to see most of it. Or you wouldn't if I didn't magnanimously frequently post some of the highlights here, in the common-people blog. Joking. Love for everyone, (almost) equally! Here's the deal, [...]
Pro Topic: How To Reduce Prescription Complexity
Super quick today, the roadmap of how you want to untangle your complicated lens prescription.Note: Don't go monkey around with lenses if you don't know exactly what you're doing. A friendly optometrist can be a great asset. Local laws, be aware of those, and this of course isn't medical advice (because, your eyes aren't sick or broken). A little background, first:You are starting out your vision improvement with what's a complicated mess of a prescription. There's going to be a diopter ratio [...]
Pro Topic: Switching From Contacts To Glasses (For Close-Up)
As you probably already know, the single prescription paradigm of mainstream optometry is the #1 contributing cause of progressive myopia. Glasses intended to correct the focal plane for distance, cause all sorts of problems when used for close-up (not the least of which being hyperopic defocus, stimulating unwanted axial elongation). But that's not news to you, if you visit here regularly. You know that you need to account for close-up, with the correct focal plane change for the distance. [...]
