I have responded to your original comment. But I will add here, patience is so important in this process,. slow and easy is the way to go.

I am not entirely clear what you have happening here. But it sounds like you caught things early in the cycle and that is really great for you. The best advice I can give you is to take in information and then make informed decisions. My videos tackle the basics as applies to most people (who didn't catch on to the cycle early on) and the descriptions have links to still more related content.Much of the advanced stuff won't apply to you. If I were you: I would not use the new stronger glasses unless you feel you need to. I would only use correction as needed and I would work on better vision habits. I wouldn't change anything else at this time. Just address correction use and habits and see where that gets you. Again; if it was me in your position...

@Reannon5 thanks 👍 Buddy

yes you remember correctly, reduce one at a time. Anytime you can't recall I recommend the wiki. Best wishes

@Reannon5 and just yesterday I read Jakes response to always reduce cyl in differentials first. I haven't started doing anything yesterday my daughter got given -4 and I just need to get her those first so she can see the board at school. Then I can start all this, challenge is the optometrist,in the UK it's difficult

@@redribbonredribbon2430 Most important, don't rush! Small sustainable changes. US optos are a pain too

@@Reannon5 I'm not ready to do anything due to still reading up. If it wasn't for school I'd delay these glasses but she needs them urgently, teachers don't allow students to switch seats. They allowed whilst waiting for glasses only . I'll watch your other videos too. Sure does help .

@@redribbonredribbon2430 I understand the concern for sure, and that is hard. Does the child already have glasses? If not then failing to introduce cylinder is not the same as reducing it... It is really important to make educated choices regarding correction and that is why one must not rush. If correction cannot wait seek out an opto that is willing to keep the correction simple (if possible equalized and without cyl) and ideally slightly undercorrected. It might take some hunting around but hopefully you can find someone.

It is really important that you learn how to make informed choices for your own eyes. There are some guidelines, (see links in description) however in the end you will still need to make an educated guess and see how it goes.

You can try, but be mindful of strain. The idea is never to push too hard.

Thanks I was doing it from past 3 weeks without Glasses.After blink I get like 0.5 or 0.75 vision.There's very low chance I get a perfect vision after blink.BtW it last until I blink again.Thanks 🫨👊

Sorry so late on the response, my notifications don't always come through. In my experience spasm is quite an obstacle to active focus. It is a good idea to try to relax the spasm then work on active focus rather than attempting to take on both at once. To release spasm make sure you address your near vision habits and correction use, then with distance vision time that actually engages your vision I think you will find the spasm resolves and active focus should follow.

@@Reannon5 i have -0.5 ciliary spasm in the morning and then it goes to around -1 at night. Basically i have pseudomyopia and not real myopia. Can i use +0.5 or +0.75 plus lenses at near work because my near work is alot. Distance vision is not releasing my spasm completely. And i cannot active focus because it is very hard to do so with ciliary spasm.

@@hqknowledge45 Personally I would not mess with plus lenses. It feels like trading one lens dependence for another. Besides which it can lead to other issues. I wonder if your close work set up can be addressed ?

@@Reannon5 i bought +0.5 plus lenses as i got to know that plus lenses help release ciliary spasm because they take some weight off our eyes when looking at close objects. And i found relief and it improved my vision. Using plus lenses for accommodative spasm helps

@@hqknowledge45 Well we all must make our own choices, glad it is working out for you. Best wishes

Please explain to me how you push and pull in your eye to create Active Focus

If it is often repeatable, then most likely yes. In time the blink isn't as necessary.

Thanks! I know there are those looking for updates. Thing is, this channel was only really meant to reinforce and restate early concepts. I added my story for the sake of people wanting to hear how I got started... That said; I don't have much to report either. I have had some health related setbacks and complications. I have by no means given up, but I don't expect my current struggles to be to anyone's benefit were I to keep everyone up to date on what is going on with me.

@@Reannon5 Hi Reannon, I understand. Many EMers and other people I'm following are currently stalling or suffering a "collective burnout" if you will. Myself too. I'm either tired all the time or stressed. I'm lucky if I can get more than the absolutely mandatory 15-30 minutes of outdoor time at the moment. I haven't changed neither my norms nor my diffs in this entire year. I just can't muster the energy to make a reduction. These are weird times for sure. I do think things will get better again tho. We just gotta hang in there. Be well.

Measuring can take time to get good at, due mostly to the temptation to get your best measurements by using natural light and/or not being entirely in touch with the edge of blur. Further more ideally one never makes judgments about what correction one needs based on cms alone. How far short of 20/30 are you in the -2.5? Chances are you need about .25 more correction per line you aren't seeing

Hi norm brown. I use test lenses and Snellen Chart. That's more accurate. If a -1 D cleared the 20/20 lime, that is what I use.

What do your measurements say? In your situation I wouldn't use correction at all, that would be an excellent way to lock in spasm and then cause lens induced myopia... My advice: don't buy what they are selling. Do sort out releasing spasm and address habits to avoid lock up in the future.

@@Reannon5 yes when i do everything without my glasses, i feel strainless. But when i wear the -0.25 glasses even in distance vision, my eyes feel somehow strained, and when i take them off, vision is blurrier than before. Can you tell me in how much time lens induced myopia occurs? I am unable to do active focus as well, because my ciliary muscles are locked up everytime

It's a matter of engaging your vision at a distance but in a relaxed way. Keep trying things The fact that it is releasing during football is a great indication. But the fact that it isn't releasing during walks means two things: you are not likely as engaged with your stimulus and also that you might want to check your close habits

During close up use diffs and take lots of distance vision breaks. As much as possible do relaxing distance vision. Ciliary should start letting go. It might go in little bits and relock easily at first but it should release if you are consistent.

@@Reannon5 good!

You should look at the object in a relaxed way, try to notice details. If you feel strain switch focus, blink etc. However strain should be very minimal as long as there is only a small and manageable amount of blur.

@@Reannon5 thankyou for the advice

It isn't a thing you do really. Active focus boils down to looking with the intent to see well and the biology takes over from there.

I still struggle with AF, able to get it with each eye individually, but not as easy with both. It seems like trying explain to someone how to breath....you just do it. Tough to explain.

Well to be completely honest making videos is a thankless load of work and I for one never actually wanted to do anything of the sort. But I felt I could help so many people get off on the right foot and avoid a heap of early mistakes and then they wouldn't have to learn the hard way... But I have recorded the bigger points I felt needed another voice and have not been inclined to continue working on the channel (I'll leave that at that) As for my own vision I have had some set backs; not so much stuck as one step forward one step back and don't have much to report there as far a progress is concerned between health stuff and NY winters. That said, I still have better vision than I have had since like 1998 so over all my eyesight is great, thanks for asking!

​@@Reannon5 Thank you. I started at 20/60. That is where we all should start.

Honestly, pick one standard and stick with it. Use your corrected vision snellen results too to help you establish trends and double check your measurements. After you have tracked trends for a while and across all three measurement criteria you will learn all you need to know about your vision.

If you can barely see the 20/20 line in good lighting I would really recommend reducing. To be honest it sounds to me like you might be a bit blur adapted. Ultimately it is your decision what to do going forward but I don’t think a clarity reset would be a bad idea. I will add a reminder that clarity is a good thing and you shouldn’t feel like if you are not pushing your eyes your entire walk everyday you aren’t going to succeed. It is ok to just enjoy your vision and not constantly be thinking I need to active focus. Obviously you still need to do some active focus and engage with your visual stimulus but once people have been doing this for a while you do come to a point where you can be more casual about it.

I do agree with you! But since we are wearing our normalized most of the time and we are not doing active focus continuously then I think at some point we do get blur adaptation! The reason why I asked you this is because I once watched a video for Jake responding to someone and his answer was like “doing active focus with a little bit of blur is the same as doing active focus with a lot of blur even if you do not bring it to 20/20” and just like you said he reminded us about blur adaptation! I might consider reducing it soon because now it does not matter a lot because of winter! But when I was doing active focus with -1.5 I was able to see things really clearly! So I thought -1.75 would be somewhere in the middle plus it makes the blur a little bit more visible to actually do active focus a little more and notice the difference between before active focus and after active focus!@@Reannon5
