Video. More and more endmyopia content is available with video. We have an entire YouTube channel filled with various levels of cringe while Jake attempts to explain core concepts, goes on epic rants, and digresses via extensive rambles.
If video is your thing, our YouTube channel is definitely your thing.
Not that pro topic how-to guide videos are no longer available publicly on the channel. This is since Jake likes dialog and community and two way streets of contribution, so for the advanced topics you’ll have to be a member of the free endmyopia Le Meow forum. There the how-to forum contains dozens more videos discussing advanced actionable strategies to get all your 20/20 gains.

Myopia: Do You Accept Their Diagnosis? (Video)
Myopia is for life. Most will never even contemplate that it could be the treatment, the very "prescription", causing the future degrading of their eyesight. They aren't likely to ever find the professional journals that discuss optometry's role in increasing myopia.

To contemplate the mere possibility of escaping myopia, you'd have to become a renegade. Making sense of clinical studies [...]

PRO TOPIC: High Myopia First Differential (focal plane challenges)
High myopia can be tricky to start working on, especially if you are starting out with a complex correction scenario. Astigmatism, likely even different diopter value and different degree values for both eyes, plus the high spherical correction, plus diopter ratio in left vs. right eye - it's a delicate knot that you want to start to untangle with some care and planning. On this subject, here's a post from Marina in the support forum: This, not an entirely unlikely initial [...]
Step Into My Time Machine
First rule of endmyopia club, let's have fun with all the things. Yesterday, the drama with Bates fans in the Facebook group. That's fine, let's get all wound up on occasion. Then Jake says, enough with the Bates talk. But even then, several people still have to have the last word.
