Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 4 First distance glasses

I just ordered the first distance glasses. After some consideration and measurements I decided to go 0,5 diopter lower than what I have now. Maybe that is going to be too much blur and I will have to go just 0,25 lower, but I have the feeling I am already a bit overcorrected as I see super sharp with my glasses even when it is a bit dark. I can always get just 0,25 lower and keep the 0,5 lower for later if there is no improvement in three months. I had to start somewhere. :) I ordered the glasses online and received message that my order is not being processed and they are going to contact me about what we do further. I though the frames are already sold out, but the problem was my prescription. They thought I made a mistake in the order, because the prescription was different than my first prescription (the close up glasses). So I explained those were for screen and these are for distance so it is ok. Next time when I am ordering the 0,25 difference up or down I will have to mention m...

Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 3 This is going to be harder than I thought

Ok so this is going to be harder than I thought. After four weeks: I was not able to figure out active focus.  I realised that my hobbies are mostly close up.  My dry eye symptoms haven't improved. Active Focus Some people took it 6 months to figure it out so I am definitely not giving up. Maybe it is something that just comes with time and there is no magic trick needed. We will see. Close up Hobbies Apart from the work that is just screen work I like to use the screen for my hobbies. Learning Japanese online is probably the biggest part. There are so many resources online, but even if I would use a textbook that would not make it less close up. Smartphone addiction is also a big part. I tried to force myself to switch the glasses to close up glasses before I check my phone every time, but it just made me faster in switching glasses and I am not checking the phone less. :) Dry Eyes I did some tests and I see better after eye drops, but I don't want to be dependent on eye drop...

Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 2 The First Close Up Glasses

My first close up glasses arrived and I started testing them for screen use and book reading. I am moving my screen a lot to find the edge of the blur, because it is changing during the day. After a month or 6 weeks I should get the first reduced glasses for distance. For now I am trying to work on active focus and on eliminating  eye strain . I also couldn't resist to compile this collage of all the frames I had during the years. I noticed that my new frames are a bit similar to my very first frames. :) To be continued...  

Why I am never again planning to go to the hairdresser

It is fortunately not because of a really bad recent experience. :) I was actually not at the hairdresser since 2016. There were always two possible outcomes when going to the hairdresser. The first one was that it didn't end up well and I was not happy about the result from the start. For example too short or too long or just generally different from the expectations. Then the whole point of going to a professional to get a haircut was somehow losing the point. And these were not rare experiences either. Everytime it was a gamble if the hairdresser is going to understand what I want and will be able to do it as I want. But I think that the second outcome of getting the perfect haircut is also not so great in the long run. And here is why. So the visit went well, the haircut is amazing, but what about the next day after washing the hair again. It is still good, but not as good as the first day. And then it is just a ride downhill until the next fix at the hairdresser. So not just t...

Endmyopia Journey Blog - Part 1 The Discovery

How it started  I went to the optometrist, because my lenses were scratched and I needed to replace them. After the usual check up I was told that I need more correction in my left eye. I was not too concerned about that as it was a long time since I needed more correction. But the optometrist also said that I have astigmatismus in the right eye that can't be fixed by an astigmatism correction as in by adding cylinder correction. This was interesting and I started googling for "astigmatism eye yoga" and "exercises to fix astigmatism" to find out if there are other options if cylinder correction can't fix it. This is how I ended up on the Endmyopia website and discovered there are people that reduced their myopia or completely got rid of it with the Endmyopia method. Books I found I was already pretty convinced I will give it a try, but I anyway started to look around for other sources. I found these three books in the local library and checked what they are...
