Sometimes two people's descriptions of AF differ so much, that I am sure it must be different mechanics. And my own experience of Active Focus changes depending on my vision - whether I am clearing blur or clearing double vision once the blur has cleared. The amazing thing is that we can see better when we try, and that is helps our vision improve!

Hi Gemily, I always appreciate Jake, and his total efforts at recovery! I like your theories. Here is my definition of, Active Focus. I call it my, "Snellen Active Focus" where I work with my Snellen to determine the line that I can read, over several days, with both eyes open. This means reading letters, that might be marginally blurry. The official requirement, is that I must estimate 1/2 the the letters correctly. WHAT STANDARDS DO YOU APPLY? THE DMV REQUIREMENTS: One eye 20/60, The Other eye, 20/40. That is something you could achieve. This gives you some latitude in your success. Thus, I rock my eyes back and forth, as I do my Active Focus. I do the best I can on my Snellen, over one week. In fact, if I can read those lines, I quit wearing any minus lens. We all need our reasonable objective goals in out lives, and that is my goal. Good luck, and keep on clearing your Snellen.

I am going to try and find out what my prescription is for the current pair of glasses I got from Specsavers.

Hi Gem, For me, active focus, is working with my Snellen to see how good I can get on it. Thus, I would like to see me going from 20/100 to 20/60, in about one year.

Thanks a lot for your videos! They always give me new ideas. Your videos are informative, entertaining and extremely motivating! :-) I have already seen many videos about Active Focus and have also experimented with it myself. Unfortunately, I still don't know if I'm doing it right or if it's already what I'm doing. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but isn't Active Focus related to how far away an object is? The blur occurs at a certain distance. Let's say at a distance of 50 cm, a text is so blurred that it can no longer be read. If you move it further away, it doesn't get any better. Without squinting your eyes together, the text only becomes sharper if you bring it closer. At the point where a text becomes approximately readable, Active Focus can take place. Am I right? At least I have had this experience. When I blink, I sometimes have the impression that I am looking through my eyelashes and therefore see it sharper for a short time, like with pinhole glasses. Sometimes it is also the case that after blinking the eye tries to focus the picture like a camera. The sharpness cannot be maintained. In the video you also talked about the fact that the eye can relax when you look into the distance. But since the blur occurs at a certain distance, I wonder what advantage there is in looking further away? How can the eye relax even further and is Active Focus still possible? I hope that my description is understandable, because I wrote it with the help of a translator.

" At the point where a text becomes approximately readable, Active Focus can take place. Am I right? At least I have had this experience." - this sounds right! In EndMyopia, working on a computer on the edge of blur is good, but putting on normalised glasses and looking into the distance at the edge of blur is better. It is not quite clear why, but Jake has had so many students, and it keeps being true that distance vision is more effective - that there is a difference. You are right though - would wouldn't just look further into the blur - you would put on glasses for distance vision. And then you could still do active focus.

Well, I started off wrong - I got normalised before I got differentials, although I had been doing a lot of close work uncorrected since first reading the 7 day emails. I actually also didn't get any proper blur until my 3rd pair of normalised - so before that the reductions weren't making too much work for my eyes, and so I wasn't sure whether I was improving. In fact, I suspect I wasn't improving my, because while I had reduced the quality of my vision a little bit, it wasn't enough to make my eyes think it was worth putting in the effort to change. It's amazing how quickly that blur cleared though! Best things for me is - once I make a reduction, those first 2 weeks are so very important regarding habits. After I make a reduction, I get 3 hours of uninterrupted distance vision (walking, sitting in a park listening to a podcast, going for a drive), and am super strict with breaks from the computer. Your habits after you make a reduction are really important for your eye making the adjustment. So, I guess what I am saying is, at the beginning, just follow the timeline of a change every 6 weeks, alternating between differentials and normalised, as your guide with reductions, until you get to a point where you can perceive your vision adapting, and then you can listen more to your eyes.

I definitely think it is a combination of factors. There is the obvious element of the culinary muscle, but there is absolutely a mental aspect to it as well, and no doubt that the other portions are contributing factors as well. It is also probable that Active Focus works a little differently from person to person, which is why experiences with it are described so differently... it would be neat if there was a good way to get data on it, but I really couldn't begin to imagine how... meantime it is fun to entertain theories 😀

@@GemilyMez wish I could answer that... my double vision hit right before NY winter, then I plateaued through a very dark winter (even for us), fighting to keep my gains; so I kept going back and forth between blur and double vision and couldn't find a way forward (should have bought my day light lamp sooner), then I got that nasty virus and the fibromyalgia flare up that was several months of roller coaster for my health and vision... I am finally feeling like I am moving forward again now, but the double vision still pops up. Some days I think it is gone but it always comes back when my eyes are tired, when the light isn't great or I don't get enough time outside for a day or two in a row. Also I am starting to think that the clear people are aiming for is only on Normz level because DV is ever present on the outside edge of my diopter bubble with diffs and with no glasses. Personally I am of the opinion that maybe "close enough, is close enough" (my eyes tend to do that with small amounts of blur anyways...) it might mean more interest to pay at a later reduction, but waiting too long feels like lost momentum. So, for my part, I have using my next normz as a 'peak prescription' during optimum lighting (since we are at the time of year I don't need my night driving glasses, so I have been back down to 2 focal planes anyways) then I can get challenge, and avoid being over prescribed in the good light. Wish I could be more helpful... I have asked others about the DV stuff and found they tend to keep buttoned up about it 😒.

Hello Gemily, first of all thank you for this video. I have a small query though. 😅 If each of my eyes have a different prescription, should I do active focus on my weaker eye first by eye patching the strong one and then using both eyes only after my weaker eye's prescription equals the other? Or should I be using both eyes from the start no matter how different the prescription amounts are? I've been doing active focus for a month now by reading some books and word files on phone using only the weaker eye and that has been working. Other times I use both my eyes. 😅😅 I am in doubt if I'm doing the right.

Do active focus with both eyes. When you begin equalising, then you can do some patching (which is pretty much what you have been doing). You ought to make 2 "binocular" drops in your "normalised" glasses before you make a "monocular" drop and begin equalising (if you aren't familiar with any of these terms yet, let me know - I don't know how far into EndMyopia you are). When you are equalising, 15 minutes a day of patching is useful. More than that is not extra effective.

So I don't need differentials for closeup work. I also checked my centimeter measurements from endmyopia which you'd mentioned on one of your previous videos. The results were: right -1.5 and left -1.25 But the tricky part here is when I look something close like read books, my left eye has a clearer image and the right has a little blur but when I look at distant objects my right eye has a better vision, may be that's because of my astigmatism.

In one other situation like yous, I think Jake did recommend exactly what you are doing - getting very low correction to give your visual cortex a reminder of what clear it and work down from there. Using binocular vision without glasses - according to Todd Becker - would only help your stronger eye - this would be because your worse eye would let your better eye do most of the work, but up close, like reading a book, where there isn't really any blur would not have that issue, because both eyes would have good vision at that distance. Your plan sounds good to me though. Even if 15 minutes of patching a day already gives you maximum benefit (by getting your weaker eye to remember to participate, which it then continues to do after you stop patching), it can feel so good to feel like you can actually do something for your vision!

It does take about 1 year per diopter yes. 0.75 diopters a year is the minimum rate really. If you are progressing at less than 0.75 diopters a year then you are doing something wrong. 1 diopter a year is normal. 1.25 is also doable. It also depends a bit - releasing ciliary spasm can knock a whole diopter off really quickly! And with high myopia, 1 cm improvement can knock off another whole diopter! While at low myopia there are a lot more cms per diopter: -4 to -3 for example is about 9 cms. So more likely to be able to progress more quickly at higher diopters, and some people have made rapid gains - you can move quickly if you can radically change your lifestyle. Slower change if you can only adjust a couple of smaller things. So do not despair!! But hey, even if it does take ages, at least it'll be going in the right direction. Progress is where the fun is.

And the first 3 days I struggled with prickling in my mouth and not being able to eat for hours afterwards, and feeling hot, and then also getting a bit nervous about it. But then I started blending with coconut milk, and now 3 slices go down easy with no issues at all. So I reckon a slow build up would help avoid that. Good plan!
