Transient Astigmatism: Reduced Diopters, Now Got Astigmatism?

Posted on by

Likely answered this before, but it still keeps coming up:

If you’re making reductions and also seeing an optometrist, you may at some point get a ‘diagnosis’ of some new astigmatism.  Or you might notice some double vision / ghosting after a reduction, possibly just in adverse lighting conditions, ie. dusk, evening, artificial light.

Don’t get cylinder correction for that.  Just don’t reduce again until the effect is gone.

Hopefully useful!

P.S.:  Your eyes aren’t “broken”.

It’s your lens use and habits that keep making your eyes worse.  And the massive hundred billion dollar optics industry loves it.   They keep selling you stronger and stronger glasses, and tell you stories of some mysterious genetic “myopia illness”.

It’s nonsense.  Your eyes are perfectly healthy.  

Check out Annette’s post in our Facebook group.  From -5.25 down to the last diopter already:

Exactly.

To find out how Annette did this, grab a copy of my free (yes, darling freeloaders, don’t pay me for this one) 7-Day guide.  It’ll teach you all the basics on how to start getting your eyes back.  No sales pitch!  

*No eye exercises, no Bates Method, no unicorn farming.  Just science and evidence based stimulus and habit changes.

Active Focus Triggers: Habits For Better Eyesight

Posted on by

New Daily Beard is up on them there Interwebs-eses, kittehz.

The longer your most favorite ole Jakey is at this, the more our communities grow, the more random peoples stumble on our resources, the more I realize that this isn’t really for everyone.  Lots of the questions suggest that plenty of people just aren’t ready for anything more than “five easy stepzzz”.  

Really though, you’re about to learn how to re-tune your vision.  There’s plenty of nuance and details and self discovery and habit adjustment and general acquiring of knowledge and experience involved.  As much as I want to make all of this easily accessible and easily usable, we have to concede that this topic requires some immersion. 

So immerse yourself into this video, and the terrible face therein:

There we go. 

It’s kind of obvious once you consider it.  Build in the triggers for habits and let that do the work for you.  Much easier than relying on future-you to keep remembering and doing something and continually investing conscious effort.

This advice and art direction, brought to you by Captain Lazyface himself.  

I only do well with things that make it into habits and routines.

Also as much as I am not in a rush to promote corporate social media, we do have a new-ish Facebook page.  I’ve started posting some of these videos there early, along with various other bits of content.  Reason currently mainly that we have a chatbot there that helps a bit answering newbie questions.  Just hit the ‘send message’ button to try it out.

And of course as always, if you want to escape the social media madness, there’s our old timey and simple community forum.  Best place to catch up with fellow darlings, if you ask me.

But don’t ask me.  Just go make some 20/20 gains.

Cheers,

-Jake

Q&A: Too Much Active Focus?

Posted on by

The question was recently asked in the BackTo20/20 support forum:  

“Am I overdoing active focus?”

Important note:  If you want to get started improving your own eyesight, I offer a number of courses, including options for one-on-one support with me personally.  Check out the courses page for what’s currently available to help your eyeballs.

This really gets into the nitty gritty of daily habits and implementing stimulus concepts into your lifestyle.

I made a video explaining when you may be overdoing it with the active focus.  It’s available as part of the Rough Guide with pro topic videos, as well as BackTo20/20 – see the courses page.  

If you aren’t currently a supporter of endmyopia via any of the courses, here’s the cliff notes:

If you’re getting headaches, tension in your eyes, reduced centimeter measurements, or dry eyes following a long active focus session, then you’re overdoing it.  There should be no symptoms of any kind following active focus work.  

Further, it’s more important to build a habit of doing active focus regularly, than doing a whole lot of it at any one time.  

I’ve also made quite a few videos discussing active focus and habits, over in our YouTube channel.

Keep making all those 20/20 gains!

Cheers,

-Jake
