Els, good for you, and keep spreading the good word that vision improvement is possible. How does that saying go? First they laugh at the different non-mainstream idea, then they attack it and argue with it, then when it gains traction they act like they believed it all along! Our own experience is all the &quot;proof&quot; we need.]]></description>

Wow, reading your comments makes me feel rather awkward, Rob. 
Yes, I&#039;ve tried this what you call quackery, nonsense and utterly irresponsible method and had amazing results! 
Yes, I went to my optometrist to get my eyes checked and she was stunned she could NOT find &#039;my&#039; -2 and -1,75 diopters of astigmatism anymore in my eyes. 
I truly wish you could experience this too. 
It is SO liberating...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Actually, there&#039;s a guy that tried the reduced lenses method, and he achieved success. He also has a free e-book out as well. So it&#039;s entirely possible to restore good vision in both eyes. However, his eyes were mildly myopic; so in the -2.00-ish range.

Rob,
Thanks for your thoughts. The post represents my own experience. I know of many others who have reduced their dependence on eyeglasses, and seen an eye-doctor-verifiable improvement in acuity. That is what this site is all about! I am not encouraging doing anything dangerous or foolish. I&#039;d simply like folks to consider what might be possible for them, if they want to experiment.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Everything in this post is entirely wrong. Anyone who knows anything about basic optics should understand that this post is entirely without foundation. A good quality spectacles lens gives 99% transmission. Comparing this to a window pane just shows complete ignorance of the subject. A window pane is flat, has no anti-reflection coating and therefore will reduce quality. A good spectacle lens is the complete opposite. 1% difference is not detectable by any human being. A quarter dioptre of visual correction (generally the minimum step used in spectacles) will give vastly more improvement than the 1% loss of light transmission (and many people struggle to notice the difference of a quarter dioptre change). Also, any half competent optometrist will always undercorrect. ie. give the least correction required. If it is a toss up between -3.00 and -3.25, the optometrist will always go for -3.00. They do NOT give stronger than necessary corrections unless they themselves are incompetent. And let&#039;s face it no optician or doctor is perfect, but who is? I am talking accepted good practice.

As for peripheral vision, a lack of correction severely limits it. This is very easily provable. If you have any significant visual correction, your ability to detect movement and detail in your periphery will be sorely reduced without that correction.  If you don&#039;t like glasses, fine! Get contact lenses or even laser surgery (not my choice) but don&#039;t fall for this. 

I have searched the internet and have yet to find even ONE example of anyone who has actually achieved ANY change in their prescription by using this method. If you want to see the world as a blur and feel &quot;free&quot; then fine, your choice. BUT don&#039;t pretend this method has any effect in the real world. It is all a delusion.

It is also dangerous to tell people that they are fine to drive without spectacles. It is any driver&#039;s responsibility to see as well as possible when on the road. Why, for heaven&#039;s sake, would you not want to see as well as possible when driving, improving your ability to see danger earlier and react accordingly. The majority of people are sensible and realise this, but this kind of quackery could encourage susceptible souls to get behind the wheel without proper visual correction.

And regarding babies, I assume you have never seen a 6 month old child get their first pair of spectacles and see a life transformed! Suddenly they can see and interact with the world. Their life improves dramatically as does their development. This is fact. Your utter ignorance knows no bounds. I am beyond anger. This is utterly irresponsible and at the very least you should get your facts right before posting this nonsense.

Just to finish, if you go without visual correction for a while, you will adapt and feel you are seeing better. This is the brain&#039;s natural ability to adapt and cope with a new situation. Try getting your eyes tested however, and I guarantee nothing significant will have changed. Try it.]]></description>
