  • If your glasses aren't the same prescription for left and right eye, then maybe it's time to watch this video and learn all about ocular dominance (and one of the most common prescription mistakes).
    More on the topic, here: endmyopia.org/ocular-dominance...

    Ooh you've nailed it. So good to hear someone else say this. IMO the same goes for prescribing for astigmatism - not such a great idea. I have a wonderful optician who gives me plain identical lenses, no prescription apart from the plus I need.

    So I just tried equalizing my glasses because it seems like there's less than .25 diopters difference between eyes. It seems slightly uncomfortable, but I'm going to try it for a while and see how well it works. I'm glad you made this video, because I was wondering if de-emphasizing the difference between my eyes might be a good idea.... and it sounds like it is.

    I used to have -3.5 diopters in each eye and last year, I got my eyes checked and the optometrist gave me a prescription of-3.5 in my left eye and -3.75 in my right eye, recently I went to the optometrist again and the optometrist gave me a -prescription of 3.5 in my left eye and -4.25 in my right eye, how can I do to help the weaker eye (right eye) to be stronger again?

  • @GoldPunch

    My left eye is -2.00 cyl and right is -2.25cyl. (only astigmatism no myopia) So left eye is dominant. And I am also left-handed person. So basically there should be a connection. :) In addition my glasses is equal (both 2.00 cyl) So right eye is very little bir blurer than left eye. Is it okey? Or should I upgrade my right lenses of my eyeglass?

    ...except my dominant eye is my right eye, and it's decidedly worse, by a large margin, in fact, over a whole number diopter, and despite my non-dominant eye getting a reduction in prescriptive strength, my dominant eye has gotten worse. Why?
    Because my fucking eyes are different. That's why.

    Hi! In the last 3-4 years, I had two prescriptions, and two respective glasses made based on such prescriptions. I am kindly asking for an advice because I was never fully happy with both of them. To quickly give an idea, the first pair was made back in December 2013, whereas the second pair was made in May 2016. I always found the first pair of glasses (Dec. 2013) somehow too weak, whereas the correction made by the second pair (May 2016) felt too strong... First prescription of the glasses made in 2013: Right: +0.25, (-0.75, 0°), Left: (-0.50, 0°), no spherical lens correction therefore for the left eye in this case. The second prescription, made in May 2016, was as follows: Right: +0.5, (-0.75, 175°), Left: +0.5, (-0.75, 175°). First thing I notices is the difference in the axis: does 0° and 180° imply the same correction, or not at all? Concerning the other values, I realize the differences are not that big, but I never felt too comfortable with both of them (although I always preferred to use the older one). I plan to buy a third pair of lenses, and I am sorry to say it, but I kind of lost trust in the two doctors who made such prescriptions. In both cases I waited almost two months for having my eyes tested, and in turn the exams were always so quick (5 minutes) and didn't give me time to even understand the exam. For this reason, would anyone kindly have some advice for the next lenses, given the information above? Thank you.

      Copy-pasting from another comment here since same applies. ;) "Print an eye chart. Measure. Learn about centimeter. Measure that too. Read about astigmatism. Read about diopters. Figure out if your current correction is really what you actually need."

    This totally makes sense but for some reason my dominant eye is the one with a .5 higher prescription. Would you anticipate that this scenario would be easier to equalize?

    • @VivaMessico
      @VivaMessico 6 років тому

      The reason for that is in my opinion (note: my opinion, not science) more strain. You put more strain on the dominant eye (especially by wearing glasses) and so it gets a little weaker than the actual "weak" eye.

    Hello, my right eye changed from -1,25 to -2,5 of about 6 months of hard work for my studies, but the left eye is still strong. My actual glasses are -0,75 (L) and -1,25(R). But I can't see well with my right eye I'm afraid :/ I removed the glasses for close up work and I tried the active focus technique but I don't feel any difference. What can I do please?

      If the difference between both eyes is more than 0.5 diopters, work on the weaker one with active focus in close up with no glasses while covering the stronger one with your hand or just blinking. With distant vision also reduce your prescription in your weaker eye & work on distance active focus with the stronger one also covered.
      When they're within 0.5 or 0.25 of eachother then you can work on both together at the same time.
      When your vision becomes better than -2 diopters then it's time to add plus lenses while reading/close up while continuing to decrease minus prescriptions for distant vision.
      These things take time if they are to work so be patient, one month isn't enough. Your vision took time to get worse & it'll take time for it to get better.

    It's actually not true that everyone has a dominant eye. I am one of those lucky relatively rare people. Both of my eyes work the same. It has its perks and its detriments. It makes shooting difficult with both eyes open, but a quick squint from one eye or the other lets me switch almost instantly from my scope to my left mounted red dot without canting the rifle at all. (Those of you who shoot will know why canting the rifle is bad)

    So if the prescription for my right eye is -2.25, left -2.75, when my R -2.75 and L -3.25, it is bad and I need for example -2.25 for both eyes? Or it is supposed to be ratio between eyes prescriptions, according to actual vision of my eyes? Sorry for my english, its not my native language.)

I practicing bates method two years ago and didn't work for me.Week ago I accidentally saw a commentary under the video that was not related to endmyopia. Just some Russian guy mentioned your method which If it true or not helped him, and then I started exploring your website. Now I'm totally motivated, especially after searching any good information about vision correction.

    I got glasses and I’m right eye dominate
    Well the left lense was to strong and the right one wasn’t clear
    Now a year later my left lense isn’t strong enough and the right lense doesn’t work as good
    And I think my eyes are bad now I’ve wore my glasses upside down and my right eye seems to relax more looking through the strong left lense and I see fairly clear but looking through the right lense with my left eye it’s slightly blurry
    So I think they screwed with my eyes and made my vision worse
