Post: new here with questions

Hi All, I'd briefly experimented with Bates methods several years ago but, didn't continue with the practice. I'm now 41 and recently went back to my eye doc because, four weeks ago, my cat chewed ...

Good news: talked to my eye doc today and convinced her to NOT correct the -.5D in the left eye, as well as to remove the prism in the left lens of my soon-to-be-new glasses. Thank heavens. I tried...

Hi Clark, Yes, "weaker, reduced Rx" glasses is precisely what I asked the doc about. Told her if I decided to go with a pair of reading glasses, that I'd want them to be "minus lenses", not magnifie...

Thank you Nancy....! I was hoping you'd pop in on this thread. I may just end up having to "thank" my little monster of a cat for eating my glasses four weeks ago. He's the one who essentially "re...

I spent many years going to what I would call "head cranking chiros". Then moved on to "upper cervical only" chiros (a much gentler style). And just last December, at the encouragement of friend, be...

I've read some posts that talk about how many myopes stare and space off / zone out. I'm guilty of this. What's interesting to me is that at the end of the work day, when I take my glasses off for...

Hi folks, I'm back. Haven't had much to add recently as I've been waiting for my mid-distance Rx glasses to come in. Just picked them up from the eye doc this afternoon. Oddly, even though they a...

Thanks for the input Nancy. :) Agreed the goal is to see without glasses. But, I do appreciate the feedback since I'm in the intermediate phase of that goal. Pity that the "S" in "OS" is for "si...
