I'm going to keep this post very short and to the point. Consciousness creates the physical body. It doesn't get any more fundamental than this. The ego is our primary consciousness-level function that generates resistance. The chronic ego-generated resistance (to any situation or any person or any idea...
Those of us monitoring our own intraocular pressure with professional tonometers are finding several common activities that reliably lower our eye pressure. Taking a shower is one of those activities. As surprising as it may be, the simple activity of taking a relaxing shower can lower intraocular pressure...
I haven't blogged much about my daily eye pressure records lately. However, I am continuing to collect data and work with my medical team. As of right now we have recorded 16,785 intraocular pressure measurements over 205 days. In the last 47 days my eye pressure has consistently been under 15 during...
Probably the most interesting thing about today's data is the series of measurements behind the IOP value at 19:20 (7:20 PM) for my right eye. The reported value below of 16.9 consists of 8 sequential measurements taken approximately 20 seconds apart. The values, in the order in which they were collected...
Today was not a typical day! For one thing, we took 200 IOP measurements today! For another thing, my IOP values were not well controlled. It was like my emotions were directly connected to my IOP today, and my emotions were varied. Consequently, today's data shows a large range from the maximum value...
Today, I intended to do all the things I did on 8-Nov to keep my IOP low, including working out twice and managing my stress. Unfortunately, I didn't do those things quite as well today . I spent part of the morning researching some regulations that could cause a problem to a new business venture I'm...
Today my eye pressure was about perfect. Here are the overall averages: Left 15.1; Right 13.7 (differential -1.4) I couldn't ask for much more. These are some of the best numbers I've seen. My right eye's IOP, which is usually the higher (and consequently, my right eye has greater nerve damage and more...
As little as 5 or 10 minutes of weight lifting gives me a post-exercise effect that results in reduced eye pressure after the workout . The weight lifting doesn't have to be super intense, but it can't be too easy either. There have been a few studies that have looked at this effect in the past. Here...
