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.
Modern Medicine Time Machine Presents: The Bates Method
Let's take a break from talking about modern day myopia rehabilitative practices, client reviews, and viable eye health topics. Instead, let's talk today, about a time, long, long ago. A time where medicine was as much a matter of vivid imagination, as it was an excellent time to not get sick. We easily forget, how as recently as 50 to 100 years ago, our species had preciously little idea about the human body and what not to do to [...]
The Benefits Of Seeing A Behavioral Ophthalmologist
You may have read my recent article about eyesight improvement programs on the Internet. In it I strongly suggest that you forgo any kind of internet program, in favor of seeing a local practitioner.

Excerpt from original post in the forum here. *** Most optic shops are no different from a fast food restaurant. You go [...]
Fall & Winter – Take Care To Have Good Lighting
A quick note for those of us, who live in climates not blessed by tropical sunshine: Since there tends to be much less in daylight hours available, and many of these daylight hours are likely to be more overcast, you may want to take more care about getting good light into your day. Most of the slowing down of progress in vision improvement tends to come in the fall and winter months. We don't have the luxury of decreasing our [...]
Eye Strain & 3D Television
Demands (and temptations) on our eyesight continue to evolve, as more technology and entertainment options enter the market. We saw it with smartphones, then tablet, and to a lesser extent, 3D content that made it into IMAX and regular theater. Then came all the marketing for 3D televisions, which are now quite prevalent in many retail outlets. Also getting into the game are head mounted displays, and coming soon, direct retina projection. Some of these technologies should give [...]
Ciliary Myopia Symptoms
Lately I have been posting a lot of eyesight improvement accounts, leaving behind a bit more specific myopia related topics. Today, let's take a quick look at ciliary myopia symptoms. It is a fairly common (mis)conception that myopia is entirely based on an elongation of the eyeball. The full myopia explanation can be found here - in short though, myopia tends to begin as a focusing muscle spasm (from close-up strain) that later develops into that axial elongation. For the most part, axial [...]
