Not really a podcast.  More just the audio file of my recent video explaining intermediate distance active focus, and some troubleshooting ideas for vision improvement progress.

Piotr has been at it since 2017 - improving his eyesight, reducing diopter dependence.

-2.25 diopters to (mostly) no more glasses in a year.   Lots of details on possible plus lens use for additional improvement opportunity.

Michaela found active focus in a way we haven't explored before.   Also two young children, discussing mistakes made, lessons learned, one almost out of glasses now, the other lens free altogether.

This is a hardcore episode.  All the things you can do with endmyopia and understanding biology and stimulus and diopters, if you really have a complex eyeball situation to sort out. As always, no doctors and no medical advice here.  

Dr. Morris Waxler is the former Chief of Surgical and Diagnostics Branch, Division of Opthalmic Devices at the FDA.  He explains in great and lurid detail how you are entirely on your own, taking changes on LASIK.  This is stuff none of the surgeons will tell you, and you probably really want to know before going in for this procedure.

Well, this feat took Erik a little while, but all worth it in the end.  Check out this progress episode!

Another day, another episode another bunch of diopters untangled.

Another episode of awesome 20/20 gains.  Dan asks lots of questions so if you're on the fast gains track and want to know how it will derail, this episode is for you.

A little rough audio on my end, since ... stuck on the back of a tiny island.  Didn't bring proper gear.  Perhaps still worth it though, for Andie's story!

Another episode is ready!  Zoltan goes from -2.50 to mostly not needing glasses.  Also some interesting side notes on hair loss and dental development in children.

Great episode with James, we've been talking about making this one happen since last year!

Today we're chatting with Greg who is down to a 1.00 diopter for night time driving, and no glasses needed during the day.   Great progress update!
