I saw a similar technique posted here a few weeks ago [0]. This guy is even worse, as his blog sounds like the typical "five simple steps to loose 200lbs, only $99 a month!" (and he does actually charge $99 a month for coaching). I have a really high bullshit radar, so at first I was just "nope this is nonsense", but I saw past that (as it was mentioned here) and started reading more, and I'm starting to believe there is some truth to it.

The basic premise is that opticians often over prescribe glasses. I've had this personally, an optician prescribed me glasses that were 0.75 dipole too strong for computer use, as the way they test (unless you ask otherwise) is for long distance vision (i.e. driving), not for 50cm in front of your eyes.

The theory is that your eye muscles become lazy as they don't need to work so hard, and you get used to that, so you need glasses to see clearly. If you look at distance text that is ever so slightly out of focus, eventually your vision system will figure out how to correct for that blur, and you will be able to see in focus. If you rinse and repeat, changing ever few months to a slightly weaker prescription (e.g. a reduction of 0.25) you can greatly reduce the strength of glasses you need.

I've only just started, but there are other comments on HN about people who have done this.

God, just the frontpage of this site makes it look even more quacky. The call to urgency, the secret knowledge, the rant against Big Glass, the frankly cult-ish photo of this guy, etc...

And I wouldn't like to describe myself as "having really high bullshit meter", it makes one overconfident when you do fall for one. I'd rather think I try to avoid emotional arguments and contexts in which I would be vulnerable.

Nobody forces you to follow this method

It's up to you to believe in it or not

I personally haven't had the motivation to do it constantly/all the time

Read this guy @Aulig experience on that method https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29460591
