Bates Method: Getting In The Way Of Real Solutions (Video)

Quick YouTube story telling time, today. In this one I attempt to explain the harmful nature of the otherwise benignly silly concept of eye exercises. For most health related topics, there's the symptom managed, mainstream, quick-fix, pill popping side.  And then there's the other side, a causality addressing, solution seeking, "healing" approach to the problem.  Both of them are generally known to people who do any real amount of research. Take dentistry.  Yea, you can eat candy and get cavities [...]

(Video) The Status Quo, Not Amused By Jake

Jake done did go and post a video on the Tubes, again. Mostly just a bit of a rant on some more of the general disdain of fancy doctors with fancy BMW leases and fancy mortgages, busy selling you elective surgery (nice way of saying, cutting you open when you don't need it).   Here's the Tubes: YouTube link Interesting thoughts, from the video comment section: Al said it, not me. Troublingly for them, this particular narrative is on a bit of [...]

Plus Lens Therapy: READ THIS BEFORE TRYING

Maybe you've been looking for solutions to your myopia online. You probably found a zillion eye exercise sites.  Sounds less than credible to you, the hippies, plus who's got the time for all those exercises.  You probably found eye vitamins.  But you looked for studies on those on Google Scholar and found it's just fluffy B.S.  You saw eye yoga and snickered derisively, thinking about all the poor saps who fall for that lightweight Internet marketer nonsense. And then.  Then you find [...]

Angie’s Must-Watch Eyesight Update (YouTube)

Vision improvement is a fringey topic. The sort of Internet health thing littered with all the unicorn pony farming and feeding on your hope and trust to sell you magic herb vitamins and secret-handshake eye exercises.   Which, some people live for that stuff.  Vague symptoms and magic weed cures.   As much fun as that might be, our goal here is to get you all the 20/20 gains.  I don't waste your time on the esoteric nuances of the self help hamster wheel and [...]

Q&A: Ergonomic Distance, Differential Glasses Indoors, Low Myopia Glasses

What's "ergonomically comfortable close-up distance", and how do glasses affect it?  Should you wear differential glasses or normalized glasses correction indoors?  How about -1 D (just diagnosed myopia) - do you want to wear glasses, or is it better to avoid them? This, all covered in today's video Q&A. He's back again. Your favorite grizzly faced, freezy wind swept, mountain cave bound eye guru.  This one's been having some guilt issues, not posting to the endmyopia YouTube channel more frequently.

All contents on this site should be considered research material only.  We are not offering medical advice or treatment or cures for any illnesses. The reduced lens method is strictly experimental. Before considering taking steps to control your own myopia, you should definitely visit a qualified ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eyesight checkup.   Specific diagnoses illnesses aside,  most) myopia may be considered to not be an illness at all.  Most myopia is likely just a matter of environmental strain, and excessive prescription use.  You yourself may be able to control and reduce your own myopia by 1) managing eye strain, 2) conservative prescription lens use, and 3) targeted positive stimulus. We recommend finding a prevention minded optometrist to supplement your journey with professional advice and prescription management help.  While not a requisite, a supportive optometrist may make your journey that much more enjoyable! Potential Side Effects: (1) You may experience astigmatism-like symptoms, especially if you reduce too fast or without paying attention to this (transient) symptom. Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
