Behind The Scenes. Highly professional outfit that @endmyopia is, behind the scenes is all entirely sanctionable, appropriate, and educationally valuable content.

Nadim -10D to -9D Progress: Getting Out Of Double Digit Myopia Danger Zone
Having double digit myopia is almost inevitably pointing your future vision health towards a cliff. Whether it'll be glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal detachment, some long term consequence is bound to catch up with you at some point. If you have high myopia, taking steps towards to reduce this condition is really not optional. I often liken high myopia to obesity. It's not just that you don't look amazing in fashionable clothes that you have to worry about by neglecting your [...]
Did They Mean To Do That?
Jakey is a bit burned out today, on the whole myopia topic. So this is going to be a rather short and insubstantial entry for the daily blog.Here's just one thing I wonder about, inconsequential as it is. Yesterday I posted a somewhat less than flattering ophthalmology comment on Twitter. This one:And later I see this:Is that veird? I'd venture a guess that their social media manager is in dire need of being assigned a new job. Or of course, this [...]
Cut Lens Prescription In HALF! (-6.75 Diopters To -3.00 Diopters in 5 Months)
Almost every day that I go through my e-mail, there's a story like this one.Somebody takes all the content on this site, digs through the science, does the free e-mail course, and gets to work on reducing their own lens prescription dependence. For most people who are determined and reasonably intelligent, it does turn out something like this:Do take this particular vision improvement story with a few grains of salt, because:Centimer, while an accurate measurement, is easy to look at optimistically. Your interpretation [...]
Was The Bates Method Right All Along?
Not quite. Bates was right that eyesight can change, but his exercises and living in blur don't reduce myopia. Measured focal-distance and correction work does.
It Was Just One Glass
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristSo it's graffiti now, really? Will he stop at nothing?? I'm just glad that wasn't my shop..Anyway, enough about Jake. The point of today's post is alcohol, and that one glass of wine. It really was just one. In spite of carnival week out here, I really have been very good, with Jake's session on alcohol and myopia (you know the one) ringing in my ears every time I even think about enjoying a glass of the [...]
Has It Gone Too Far?
Bad Jake!Much like a graffiti artist defacing corporate art, you will find @endmyopia's brush on more and more outlets where people might go to get real answers on eyesight health (title image, obviously photoshop). Whenever you sell a bad bill of goods to a large enough group of people, sooner or later somebody is going to ask questions. I can't tell you why exactly, but it makes me personally happy to be this particular graffiti artist. Maybe it's the anti-corporate [...]
