You Have More Ciliary Spasm Than You Think (A Guide)

Endmyopia and the sagely method to all the 20/20 gains, based on two very simple concepts: 1) Strain management and 2) productive stimulus. As the divine 20/20 rules state - you can't make much use of refractive state changing stimulus, as long as your eye's focusing muscle is locked up from excessive close-up use.  Those countless daily hours of screen time take their toll.  You might have great habits for all of your computer time, but perhaps you're really discounting [...]

Rayann’s -5.5 D: Optometrist Confirms Full Diopter Gains

From -5.5 diopters to -4.5 diopters improved, and all sorts of skeptical scrutiny. It does pain an old eye guru to attribute any credibility to the mainstream lens sellers by having this whole category of "optometrist confirmed" 20/20 gains.  As if their opinion mattered, or as if their measurements were any better than your own. But ... perhaps look at it as despite-attempted-denial result, something even the propagators of myopia can't deny.  Sow some doubt among the lens seller faithful. [...]

Alexandra: -4.50 Down To -2.00 (In 12 Months)

People sometimes make excuses about reducing their myopia.  Oh Jake they say, whether I got -4 or -2, I still wear glasses either way.  Seems like a lot of hassle you know?  Why am I going to spend a year, two years, for really what's just glasses anyway? Darlings.  The difference between four diopters of the fake minus plastic focal planes, and two diopters of the same - is huge. Four diopters, you're not finding your glasses, without your glasses. [...]

Aza’s Optometrist Confirms: 1.50 Diopter Astigmatism Reduction

Astigmatism reduced dramatically.  Myopia reduced as well.  And all of it, optometrist confirmed. Yes, it's that time again.  Time to strut the stuff.  Show off the gains.  Preen prodigiously on behalf of darling readers and practice-ers of  the guru's methods for all the 20/20 gains. We'll keep this one short and partially rant-free.  Note below Aza's percentage spherical reduction is actually quite excellent, as well as a lot less astigmatism.  That latter one is nice since it'll be much easier [...]

Sudden Onset Child Myopia: From 20/20 To -6 Diopters (in a day?!)

Sudden onset so-called child myopia.  One day your child sees just fine, the next day - hugely short sighted.  High myopia diagnosed.  No explanation, no treatment besides glasses.  This happens, and I wish every parent in this situation would find this post before saying yes to glasses. At the risk of sounding like an elderly matron turned Internet unicorn hippie: Odds that your child suddenly becomes highly myopic in some irreversible manner, pretty slim.  Odds that there's a huge bit [...]

What MEOW Means – Finally Revealed

Meow has been going on for years here on the blog, entirely unexplained. If you've been reading here long enough you already know that mystery abounds.  Imaginary beards, the entire eye guru premise, alternating between serious science discussion and more definitely unhinged (but surely amusing) rant posts.   And all the high quality blog pictures. Pretty reasonable. Why all the strange bits?  Because at the end of the day I do want to help you find answers to your myopia [...]
