10yo: Reading? Computer games? There are myopia cases that are not stress induced but they aren't all too common.

On the 60 day myopia rehab front ... we found someone to help us with the...

Unfortunately not. We see about 60% less cases of presbyopia reported by our clients of the past getting into that age range, than the general population. Being a small practice however, and...

Annual eye exams?

Recovery potential from stabilized high myopia is unpredictable without some exploratory work. All depends whether you have a strong desire to reduce prescription and put in...

How long have you been at -6.50? Do you wear glasses / contacts consistently throughout the day, and during near work?

The program will work well for an individual matching that case...

This thread and its 6,000 views raised a lot of questions, comments, e-mails in my mailbox.

Since there are many repeating themes, I came to a conclusion to address the largest amount of topics...

One could cut out 90% of our rehab program, and just do these few things: No sugar or grains for 90 days, cutting TV, no minus prescriptions when working up close, a few exercises. 90 days. Just...

I've been saying for years that we'll start putting resources online for free use of our therapy exercises, ideas, suggestions, etc. I still have no idea how we'll ever get around to it, we're...

Peripheral vision is quite important to myopia rehab. Pinhole, no good.

Here is a quick visual for 'edge of blur'" A Visual: The ‘Edge of Blur’ | Frauenfeld Vision Clinic

Theories abound. Much of it, while fascinating, is challenging to ascertain as fully factual.

What I see as truly meaningful to the *individual* are the practices that help reverse myopia. Take...

Near-focus and glasses are the single largest contributing factor to myopia, but absolutely, it's not a one-fits-all diagnosis. It is a very complex system at work, and I've seen many strange cases...

Clients report a pressure sensation behind their eyes or forehead. If they continue to wear the glasses, dizziness, then nausea.

From a practical, not research / theory perspective (running a myopia prevention / rehab practice):

I can only make some educated guesses about the contributing causes of myopia of any client. ...

'Funny' and 'kind of worried' might warrant a visit with a professional in your area. Coconut oil alone likely won't counteract any notable and sustained symptoms. You can PM me with details about...

If you are changing vision / lifestyle habits and had a strong prescription prior to these changes, it's quite likely that your eyes will begin to actively reject the original prescription. The...

There is a fairly well substantiated, scientific aspect to my practice - primarily as it relates to vision exercises (focal, peripheral, color, gradient, etc) and diet.

On the other hand, there...

You are correct. In a way, it's much like primal living. If you are just living in the mainstream dietary 'wisdom', and are experiencing health issues, looking for alternatives, it's not easy to...

At -5.00 you will need a (reduced) minus correction to get the distance at a usable font size.

No harm, technically. Though with your prescription strength, you may not enjoy it.

There's the matter of your quality of life - if your surroundings appear blurry, you may not have a great time....

In some client cases I have seen refractive change that I had personally not deemed achievable. There is a majority consensus that the elongated eye will not return to a healthy shape - and while...

Wearing a minus prescription while having your eyes focused up close is a massive stress for your eyes. If I were to just give a single piece of advice, it would be not to wear glasses when focused...

E-mail today from Michael (translated from German):

"Today I woke up late, was out of coffee. Took shower, walked the dog, stumbled to computer to check e-mails. All morning passed, and just now...

You are on the right track. Here is the problem you are running into:

A core concept of our rehab program is "disrupting vision". The idea, as with any rehab, is to expose the body to controlled...

What is your prescription? Is it -1.00?

Part of the very concept of a rehab program is to 'time' the exposure of your eyes to corrected vs. uncorrected vision. Just as you get dizzy with...

This thread has caused quite a number of e-mail questions. There is something important I want to clear up:

We speak often of the beginning of rehab as 'disrupting your vision'. If you think of...

Along with that, in our rehab program we talk a lot about working on the active understanding of your body and brain about the change you are working to induce. All these are best done in the early...
