Private advisory · Jake Steiner · 5 to 10 people at a time

Your work depends on what you see. Keep your eyes at the standard it demands.

Twenty years of work on how eyes respond to the way we use them. 423 published case records. A small number of people a year work directly with me, by voice note and a weekly log, on their own schedule.

Pilots, surgeons, athletes, and anyone held to a vision standard. One person watching your numbers with you, month after month, and telling you exactly what to change.

What the work is

Eyes adapt to the distance they are asked to look at.

Long days at a screen, a panel or an instrument at close range, in glasses made for the far distance, ask the eye to adapt to near. Over the years the numbers climb and the margin above your work's standard shrinks.

My work changes the ask: how far you work, which glasses you wear for which task, how much real distance your day holds, and how you measure at home so you see the trend months before your next eye exam does. You do the measuring and the changing; I read the log and tell you what to adjust.

Week one

Your numbers and your standard

Current glasses or contacts, how fast they have changed, the standard your work holds you to, a week of home distance measurements.

Each week

The log, my voice note

You send the week's numbers. I send back a short recorded directive: what to change, what to keep, what to watch.

Each quarter

The trend

Measured at home and checked against your next eye exam. The goal is a flat line, then a falling one, at about the pace eyes actually change.

Who this is for

For people whose work, licence or sport sets a vision standard, who will measure at home and change their daily habits, and who want one accountable person on their case. Eyes change at about one diopter a year at best, and the work runs alongside your regular eye exams.
