General Vision Health Topics. Mostly we talk about myopia here, which we don’t consider to be an illness. While on that subject we do often end up crossing over into related issues that you may encounter, while working to reduce your myopia.
Everything from dry eyes, to the dangers of certain antibiotics, to risks of retinal detachment and glaucoma and lattice degeneration, you’ll find all the vision health related topics in this category.
Expectations: How Fast Can I Improve My Vision?
You probably have asked yourself this very question, at some point while reading articles on this site. "How fast can I improve my vision, then?" This question comes up frequently of course, and I hesitate to put out a general response. In the clinic this was a bit easier to answer. It depends on every individual case, though many of these individual cases are reasonably predictable. Let's say you are 30, physically active, with a healthy diet, spend nine hours [...]
Lasik Surgery & Retinal Detachment Risk
Let's touch on lasik surgery as a high myopia solution (to reduce retinal detachment), just briefly. This e-mail came across my desk the other day: I happened to stumble across your page as a desperate attempt to see whether my vision can be improved at all. I am VERY myopic, wearing contact lens at -10.50 and having glasses at -12. 2 days ago, I went to get an eye exam and the optometrist gave me a new glasses prescription of [...]

Morning Exercise: Calibrating Your Vision
Some of the blog posts assume that you have an understanding of the #endmyopia Method, and ideally maybe even participated in the Vision Improvement Course. This is one of those articles. I have not yet come up with a good way to identify these 'previous knowledge necessary' articles. It is on the list though, for the next creative moment. Recently we talked about double vision vs. blur, in this article. It created quite a bit of inquisitive e-mail, and a small forum [...]
Defined: Flashes of Clear Vision
If you have been working on improving your vision for some time, you likely have experienced clear flashes: Moments where your vision suddenly clears up, and everything appears unusually sharp and crisp. You will find references to this phenomenon frequently in forum posts, and some of the progress reports also mention their experience of clear flashes. These moments of clarity begin to happen once strain is reduced, prescriptions are adjusted, and you have been working on active focus for a [...]
Vision Improvement: A Good New Years Resolution Project?
This is the time of the year where I frequently get two questions: 1) Is Vision Improvement A Good Christmas Gift For Friends Or Relatives? That question I have no unequivocal answer to, and I won't use it as a sales pitch to get you to sign up someone else for the program. In truth, I think this type of approach works only for those who want it. So as a gift, the program subscription would only suit someone who a) [...]
