Funny Bits: Mike Seems To Enjoy BackTo20/20
As you hopefully know by now, I try to give you as many ways as possible to improve your eyesight.There is of course the blog. I cover forum stories, I bring you how-to guides, clinical studies, and optometrist thoughts and advice. There is also YouTube, and a bit of social media (honestly, not feeling the social media - so it's just half-heartedly reposting blog bits). Lots of options besides BackTo20/20, which is the only option that might involve spending money.It seems [...]
Hugh (-2.50) Reduces Myopia 40%, Nobody Believes Him
I'm about to get huge trapezius muscles, from all the shrugging I do while reading e-mails (and now also various Youtube and Quora comments - thanks ya'll, talking me into doing Youtube). Here, what I'm talking about: You know how much that sucks, for Hugh? Imagine you find a possible fix for your pesky myopia. You go out on a limb, against all of what the mainstream says, and you try it. You go through the trouble of reading this blog and [...]

Above: Excerpt of my recent Skype chat with Despina (her update posted here of course with approval). At least it's the first ever for here online at @endmyopia, this story.

Now of course this is not an absolute surprise to you, frequent blog reader. But it's great nonetheless, having a properly licensed and mainstream connected professional try BackTo20/20 (and [...]
Atikur: Optometrist Confirms Lower Prescriptions!
Here is a nice reader e-mail, once again showing that the blog is full of eye guru powers for you to leverage. Take a look: Hi Jake I emailed you recently asking if I could get forum access to help with my myopia, you then kindly pointed me towards the free version the blog. So I started, I had a pair of old glasses -4.00 which I wore and stuck a snellen chart in my living room. Every [...]
Pro Topic: Correlation Of Close-Up Strain & Improvement Rate
You probably have seen a wide range of student vision improvement rates and diopter reductions. Very generally, if you look at the big picture, there's a first burst of improvement that falls into the 1 diopter reduction range, somewhere within the first 90 days (very, very generally speaking). Mostly that's reduced close-up strain, sorting out over-prescription, and reducing ciliary spasm. I sometimes refer to this diopter as the "junk diopter(s)", since what you get rid of in those first few months [...]
