Post: Re: -0.25 Dioptre success!

Post: Re: -0.25 Dioptre success!

Post: Re: -6.00D to 7.50D, Can it be cured?

Fiat, thanks for mentioning me. I was probably more contracted and tense and anxious than most people, most of my life, and this pattern was so strong in me it took a while to loosen. And it is still ...

DaniFixe, don't get fixated on the visual acuity measurement as your only sign of progress. Do you get fewer headaches? Can you function better and more confidently without your glasses? Are your eyes...

Even Bates said "Remember your successes, forget your failures". Partial success is still success: celebrate yourself! I see you focusing on what's NOT working (even the title of this thread). This mi...

Yes, a much lower prescription is necessary for me to see clearly. Nothing is permanent -- if I abuse my eyes or go back to really strong glasses they'll get worse, and if I maintain healthy vision ha...
