Your Glasses: Dangerous Childhood Subconscious Programming?
I generally try to keep the stranger musings in the forum / for students, where that kind of quasi philosophical discussion probably belongs. When you're already well into the mechanics of improving your eyesight, it might be entertaining to contemplate some of the underlying strings being pulled in your head.What weird string things, you ask? Here's one for you:Most people aren't going to change anything about their lives, because they subconsciously believe that what they got, is exactly what they [...]

If you don't read much optometry industry "news", you are spared a lot of head shaking. Your darling host Jake literally has an appointment for Monday, for an osteopath [...]
THIS BUG WILL EAT YOUR EYES: Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Written by DespinaContributing OptometristI hate wearing glasses. I hate the feeling of them on my face, the look of them, the restricted field of view, the way they minimise everything (you will look thinner in the mirror, beware of this ladies), basically everything about them.

Lens Stock: Why I Secretly Bought Millions
Disclaimer: The following is definitely *not* investment advice. I've literally made millions of dollars over the years, betting that myopia won't be "cured" by the establishment.
