Hey, everyone, its Dr. Sam, and I'd like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. It's fabulous day here. I'm having a great time. We, we have a number of questions we're going to get to today in the podcast. And so let's let's just jump right in. This is a question from Dimitri. And he is suffering from nearsightedness or what we call myopia. And he has a couple of questions about that, because he would like to improve his myopia like to reduce his prescription. And he wants to know, how much should he reduce his prescription? And how many months is it going to take for his eyes to get better? So I love this question. And I have personal experience with it. Because when I was a kid, I was very nearsighted. And I went through a physical therapy program in my early 30s with a holistic eye doctor, and I completely dissolved my need for nearsighted glasses, and I haven't worn them over 30 years, I see 2020 at distance and near. And so if I can do it, you can do it. So I'm gonna give you a crash course this is called myopia, 101, Dr. Burns, myopia 101 protocol. And so if you have been diagnosed with nearsightedness, and you're tired of going back to the eye doctor, you know, every year or every two years and getting a stronger prescription, like many of my patients have done and you're feeling frustrated. And of course, all you hear is, Well, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm gonna give you about eight different steps that you can kind of go through to improve your nearsightedness. So number one is to have an inquiry about how old you were when you got your first prescription. This is really important because, you know, we want to blame any eye problem, and especially especially a refractive problem. Whether you're nearsighted, farsighted, and have a stigmatism on genetics, it's like, well, if my parents or grandparents were nearsighted, I'm going to be nearsighted. And there's a little truth to that, for sure, genetics is definitely influencing and informing our genes in a certain way. But I find that the environment really affects our eyes in terms of how they develop environment, lifestyle, diet, stress, trauma toxicity. So in terms of the, the question, how old you were, when you got your first prescription, this is telling because usually about a year or two, before you got your first prescription, there was probably some event or series of events that occurred that caused you to pull your eyes your vision in to a very close part of yourself. You know, I call it close to the vest, so to speak, where you pull your visual world and you blur it out there at you know, 20 inches to four feet to 10 feet. And it's a tightening of your vision, your eyeballs. And so then when you go to the eye doctor,
