Solving Myopia - Impossible With Peat's Ideas ?

[CoolTweetPete]

Katy Bowman is a brilliant movement specialist, and she wrote a great article comparing myopia and pelvic floor dysfunction, here.

She advocates distance looking (more than 1/4 mile in the distance) and this has helped me improve my eye sight (especially since I'm in front of a computer all day for work).

"Here’s my opinion: I think that the researcher domesticus believes distance-looking has already been researched and disproven. I believe that the researcher domesticus is operating under the assumption that because near-work is defined as less than two feet from the face, “distance-looking” has been covered by “time not doing near-work”–even thought “not near work” is likely to primarily consist of visual input less than 30 feet away. By not defining “distances from the eye” more specifically, one fails to consider that the geometry and shape of the eye’s lens vary drastically between looking at something 30 feet from your face and looking at something 1/4 mile in the distance."

post 80385 Belladonna takes its name from the Latin “beautiful lady”, referencing its use amongst the women of Rome as a cosmetic, due to the presence of a unique molecule in the tropane family of alkaloids – atropine. This is the very same drug used by the medical profession to 'dilate' someones eyes. Historically this was extracted from Belladonna itself, however today it is synthesized in laboratories."

Thus, it's an issue of deformation of the structure of the eye due to poor viewing habits (excessive viewing of things that are near).

please watch this






Reduced lens therapy is the solution, and the idea is similar to endmyopia.org, but simply more effectvive

if you are -5 in both eyes, buy a pair of -4.75 or -4.5 glasses, and look at your screen. try to notice a little bit of blur, and over a 3 month period the eye will adjust and clear the image.

if there is too much blur, for example going from -5 to a -2 lens, the eye will not adjust and this is the equivalent to lifting the heaviest weight in a gym.

the goal is to stimulate your eyesight to improve by making everything you do slightly blurry, by undercorrecting by -0.5 or by -0.25 ,

Also, avoid close up work with glasses, because in theory this makes a -5 lens act like a -7 lens. simply take off the glasses for close up work.

Really interesting, thank you. You highlighted the mistake I am making. I took too large of a leap, thus not getting better. I need to again get my correct prescription and have it filled to -0.5.

when you are reach -2.00, start dropping by -0.25 increments for best results

does this work for farsightedness?

Great thank you!

 

[johnwester130]

cool, no more worthless bates method.

it was always a total scam

then came along endmyopia.org,

but the lens reduction method is better

does this work for farsightedness?

yes but you would do the opposite

so for example you need +2, use a +1.75 and make things a little blurry

really ?

sounds like more bates method nonsense and guesswork

It seems that everyone has already tried reduced lens therapy at some point in time. For example if I have myopia and have a prescription for -2.0 in both eyes, overtime as my eyes get worse (go to -2.25) these -2.0 now become reduced lens. And if the theory holds up they should keep my eyes from getting worse. But this is not the case.

The same could be said for someone who barely needs glasses but puts off getting a prescription. They too are using the reduced lens method (without the lenses) but their eyes also don't improve. Am I missing something?

The goal is not to get a reduced lens. the goal is to see things in a slight blur, then use active focus to try and see it clearly.

but to do this a reduced lens is very helpful.

other people simply move their laptop back until the text slightly blurs and read at that point.

if you use active focus (it feels like the eye is breathing, text becomes clear then blurry/clear) then your eyesight will get better.
if you see something blurry and do nothing, then you don't improve - this is why the people you described don't improve.

 

[johnwester130]

I know

but these techniques work for so few people

I have seen them all

bates
plus lens
reduced lens

so few work

the reduced lens method works, if you combine it with active focus
(noticing the blur and letting the brain clear it up).

too much blur and it will not clear it up. this is why you should reduce by -0.25 so the eye can adjust, so there is just a slight blur.

you will know if you have active focus if you see a text blur/clear/blur. it feels like the eye is contracting and breathing and alternating between blurry and clear.
if you find this point, eyesight improvement is inevitable.

 

[johnwester130]

you can jump from -4 to -3.5, instead of using -3.75

as you can see the difference is only 1 inch,

but going from -0.75 to -0.5 is 25 inches

@johnwester130 im not saying you are wrong,
But
I think its a very mechanistic approach to vision. Kind of mechanical stimulation (or lack there of) = mechanical adaptation.
Partially maybe. But in my opponion its not all to it, even very little to it.
I tried all of those methods i think, did not stick to any for long, so cant judge.
But my nearsightedness set on after puberty (estogen at play-> Swelling? Eye musculature (as any other musculature) stuck in exited contraction ?) lack of sunlight stimulation cause school all day long? Too much blue “screen time”? Nerves damage? Idk
Thats why im not sure that biochemical issue can be solved by mechanical approach.
Fyi my nearsightedness slowered and progressed differently though out last 10 years.
My enviroment was changing, not my contact lences or glasses.
and looks like it seezed during last year (peating?)
I wonder if it will improve...

If you would actually read Peat he says his myopia improves after a few weeks at high altitude. Google that.

i still disagree

the eye will adapt to stimulus and strain the same way, by making the eyeball longer or shorter

Making Those 20/20 Gains - endmyopia.org

also, if you are over prescribed glasses, the eye adapts.

you can do this simple experiment yourself, just by reading something at the edge of blur, you will notice your eyes and brain co-ordinate to make it clearer.

myopia is simply caused by too much close up work - really nothing else.

I could purposely make your eyesight worse, for example, if you are -4 both eyes, if I give you -5 glasses, the eye will adjust to them in about a month, and you will become -5.

sorry but that isn't helpful.

this is how to really make improvements in eyesight, realistically, getting to 20/20 will be difficult, but 20/40 would be a reality for most people

“myopia is simply caused by too much close up work - really nothing else.”

Ok, i have a rule: i dont argue with those who say “it is simply caused by” LOL
