As you may have noticed if you're watching the endmyopia Tubes of late, we started doing video chats with participants. Jaaaaaaaaaa.

Al-Irfan: -4.25 To -2.50 | Shortsighted Podcast

Is Your Phone Killing Your Vision Improvement?
As you may know, your favorite old timey eye guru, uncle VanderJakenhausen Le Third, lives in an off-grid jungle. You know where my phone is right now? Right. I don't either. Somewhere in the house. Maybe near the charger. I do use it to tether to tenuous 3G Internet to make you these posts and videos, so it's definitely on and definitely probably somewhere. Where it's for sure not though, is in my pocket. It's nearly never in my [...]
Death Of The “Eye Exam”? 1-800-Contacts Buys Eye Exam Smartphone App
The online contact lens e-commerce site 1-800-Contacts buys at-home eye exam software maker 6over6. Doesn't sound like a big deal to most of us. And yet, it will be.

Imagine your retail optometrist being the dinosaur looking up at the sky right now, idly wondering what that huge rock coming towards him might be [...]

Here’s a great analysis from Jonathan over in our Le Meow forum – of how and why your eyesight seems worse according to lighting conditions: Hi, my name is Jonathan, and I’ve been a lurker here for a while. I’m currently at about -3.6 diopters in both eyes down from around -4.75 (20-20 measurement).

Live Chat With Sharada: -3.75 To -1.00 Progress Update
First live chat with a fellow endmyopian, darlings! It went ... well, it went like the sort of thing you'd expect from uncle Jake. Not very well planned, a bit off the cuff, with plenty of hiccups and glitches. Are we surprised. No. No we are not. Regardless, Sharada saved the day with an excellent accounting of how she made it down from -3.75 to being glasses-free for most of her day time needs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2OTIn9ivbc This is how we do [...]
