The TLDR is that a lot of people have very high myopia that causes severe eyeball elongation, which then causes retinal damage/detachment, which sadly could progress into blindness.. I myself was -5.75 and -6.25 with some non-negligible cylinders. I experienced discomfort when looking at my phone phone and reading book with my glasses on. I General check up said that my eyeball pressure and all were normal, but I know the discomfort is nothing good and can be quite serious. I read up online and found out that myopia could cause eyeball elongation, which could cause discomfort and ultimately could cause retinal damage/detachment. The discomfort I was experiencing was probably due to my elongated eyeball. I prayed and began looking for way to work around my myopic eyes without having to get yet another thicker glasses... And I'm super thankful to have found out about this life-changing video by Todd Becker on how to reverse myopia: [VIDEO] . The TLDR is that eyeball elongation (and hence myopic eyes) can be reversed in a way very similar to how strength training is conducted (hormesis). You simply need to keep wearing reduced prescription and do eye-focus exercises regularly. It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I was scared too at first, and when I went to a glasses store to get a lower prescription glasses, the store attendant warned me too. But I went ahead anyway. My latest eyes exam before the attempt (back in August 2021) was -6.75 and -6.5 with -0.25 and -0.5 cyls.

[VIDEO] Are you aware of Todd Becker's method to reduce myopia? I've been doing it in the past 1 year and am happy to report that I've had 1.5 reduction in my glasses prescription (from 6.75). There's a PDF from a different person with a concrete guide on how much to reduce. I can share it if you're interested, feel free to email me at denny at nusantara-cloud.com :)

Important article particularly for us folks who sit in front of Computers for most of our waking hours. Key points: he says that working on our vision has the power to transform how we think, feel and function. In fact, our vision is so fundamental to our health and wellbeing, Appelbaum describes it as “the new microbiome”. “But vision is so much more complex. It’s how our brain processes, organises and stores the information coming through the eyes.” He adds: “Vision is a direct reflection of brain function.” We have to focus on the Whole Organism rather than just the Vision part i.e. stop overloading the Visual System, sync our Circadian Rhythms with the day/night diurnal cycle and understand/use Visual Technology (eg. Nits) properly.
