Helmut: 74 Years Old, Reduced From -5.00 To -2.50

Welcome back, darlings! Back to Gainsville where separation of church and state isn't even a thing.  It's a state of ongoing guruness, appreciated by the many faithfully fateful visitors looking to bring home some gains - and throw some diopters in the town square's fountain. Jake, what are you smaoking, you're thinking. Forget Gainsville.  Here is Helmut's progress report: Age much like myopia, just a number. The rest here goes without saying.  Myopia is a negative refractive state, dutifully and [...]

Refractive Error Explained (CORRECTLY, for once!)

Refractive error is a common term used in the 'medical' community when discussing myopia.  The whole premise is a ridiculously stupid as it is flawed, and in this most eloquently scientific and unbiased article we'll find out exactly how and why. Battlestations! Jake, the unholiest of holiness has an idea today, darling kittehs.  An idea, for you. An idea specifically for content for our esteemed video sermon pulpit, the endmyopia Youtubes.  While the title sort of already gives it away, here's [...]

Optometrist: Not Going To Increase Your Prescription

Some days the Facebook group is a great place. Days when new members post stories about their myopia journey, how their diopters kept increasing, and in many cases how the mainstream may just play the key role in creating these high diopter scenarios. Even better, the scenarios where an interesting optometrist casts doubt on the whole premise of more and more (and more) diopters. Here's Alexandra: The truth is out there, kittehs. Of course as a regular reader here, you [...]

Melissa: 18 Months Progress Report

Continuing the streak of progress reports, today is Melissa's turn. This one is in centimeters which of course you can also directly convert into their diopter equivalent.  You'll note that I often recommend that you measure at least three dimensions, including close-up via centimeters, as well as eye chart, and a real outdoor distance landmark. Here's Melissa's progress update: We get spoiled with all of these updates. The main piece of excitement for Melissa here is that her eyes equalized, showing [...]

All contents on this site should be considered research material only.  We are not offering medical advice or treatment or cures for any illnesses. The reduced lens method is strictly experimental. Before considering taking steps to control your own myopia, you should definitely visit a qualified ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eyesight checkup.   Specific diagnoses illnesses aside,  most) myopia may be considered to not be an illness at all.  Most myopia is likely just a matter of environmental strain, and excessive prescription use.  You yourself may be able to control and reduce your own myopia by 1) managing eye strain, 2) conservative prescription lens use, and 3) targeted positive stimulus. We recommend finding a prevention minded optometrist to supplement your journey with professional advice and prescription management help.  While not a requisite, a supportive optometrist may make your journey that much more enjoyable! Potential Side Effects: (1) You may experience astigmatism-like symptoms, especially if you reduce too fast or without paying attention to this (transient) symptom. Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
