How To Improve Night Vision (Advanced Topic)
Recovering healthy eyesight is all about moving backwards - from where you are now, to where you had initially started before that very first prescription at the optometrist.Remember, once you got that first prescription, your eyes kept getting worse.In the program, we have been working the exact reverse of what got your eyesight so poor in the first place - starting out, we remove the root cause of all myopia - close up strain.Once you have a clear sense for [...]
Contact Lenses For Computer Use: Tricks, Tips, Caveats
A recent post in the support forum reminded me of a trick I sometimes prescribe for heavy computer users (who happen to be in the one-on-one program). Since it makes sense to share this with everyone, let me give you a bit of the circumstances where this may make sense for you. This is a bit of an advanced subject - if you are new to this site, or just reading casually, this may not make as much sense to you! [...]

If you use a desktop some blue tack should be fine as long as you guesstimate how much of the tape measure you’re going to need to use first. The full thread is here. There are lots of creative [...]
Peripheral Vision Exercise With Contact Lenses
Very early on in the Vision Improvement Course, we talk about peripheral vision awareness. It would seem a bit odd to get into that so early on, since the main things that contribute to your eyesight's improvement are a) lowered strain, b) active focus, and c) the correct use of prescriptions. And while I do keep the first month tightly focused on the key subjects, peripheral vision is more important than we might think. Realize about how big your [...]
