Healthy Eyes for your LIFE
Hi, Roberto!
Since I started vision imporvement (more then 2 years ago) I had expectiations that my diopter will get reduced. While my vision was getting better I was having dreams of my optometrist being fascinated by the reduced diopters in my prescription.
But it did not happen.
Not with my optometrist but not with any other too. I noticed some optometrist will give me stronger diopters some lesser.
My usual prescription was sph: -1.5, cyl: -2.5 180 degrees. (or 5 degrees) it is similar and worse for left eye.
In my words I am shortsighted with astigmatism that gives me doubel horizontal lines.
I just had examination yesterday and I am measuring s: -1.75, cyl: -2.75 ? degrees (I forgot to ask)
But I really can see better.
My question to you Dr. Roberto would be is it possible that there is something wrong with the measurement?
OR, in other words
Is it known that vision can improve but dipters still be those?
Thanks and Happy New year to you and all members in this group!
Elizabeta

thank you so much on your beautiful comment. I like you say the dioptre is a way of controlling.
No one likes to be controlled and still there is a silent control going on, and is wider serious question affecting humans and their lives (survival).
But anyway, my prescription before I started Vision Improvement without glasses was as follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!8/10/2008 (exam to check vision before training) Sydney
R: -2 L: -1.25
_____ ______
-1.25 x 5 -2.75 x 5
Actually my left eye is weaker.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is pretty much similar now. Even I got measured by some optometrists with their autorefractor machine of even (-3) of astigmatism.
Soon, in 8 weeks after, I could read perfectly with spectacles without astigmatism correction, so no cylinder, and sphere of -1. But I was given this after me persisting for optometrist to go as low as possible and for me still having clear vision. Normally, the initial astigmatism correction of -2 cyl would be very painful for my eyes, feeling like eyes would jump out and this lower prescription was OK, I didn’t notice any pain.
I am very interested into hearing your comments - if this prescription provides enough information to you. (I deeply apologize of not responding earlier – there was a lot going on, but I read very often blogs and comments here and also your articles, Roberto, it
Comment by Roberto Kaplan on January 7, 2011 at 5:20 Dear Elizabeta:
Thank you for your good blog post and very important point you are bringing up. The diopter measurements of the eyeball reflect one aspect of the EyeCode® and that is the structural print out of long standing perceptions that are distorted in some way. Because this is the structure of the eye, these measurements take between 6 and 18 months to change. Do not be despondent if this takes time. It will.
On the other hand, the eyesight changes can be very fast like a camera shutter, and this can be immediate or slow. There is a very low correlation between eyesight changes and diopters even though one would think this to be high. This is especially true when it comes to vision improvement.
If the structural measurements of diopters show an increase, it may also in the initial stages be a projection, that is not real, but a state of mind where the person wishes to go. A good eye doctor can make this discernment.
Most eye doctors do not think much about prevention or true corrective rehabilitation. They do think that if they were this way, they would go out of business. In my experience the opposite is true. The Doctors I coach sell more glasses are doing more business. Surprise!
Why don’t you send me your full lens prescription information and your eyesight findings and then I can comment from the EyeCode® perspective. Many good wishes, Roberto.
