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

Michal: Ready To Reduce Normalized Glasses?
Today, an interesting progress update in our darling Facebook group. This one goes a long way to make the point about when to reduce your diopters. A divine and sacrilegious eye guru has been heard saying that 3-4 months is a good time frame to reduce, and generally by just 0.25 diopters. But that's just an average number. Rather than strictly going by numbers, you want to get to know your own eyes. Eyes are part of the whole [...]
Troy (-4.00) IT Job & The 20/20 Gains
The nay sayers are right. Jakey is a terrible eye guru. We're so many improvement reports behind right now, it's pretty much official at this point: we'll never ever get caught up trying to post all of the great 20/20 gains reports here. Also, hey. How many optometrists have you ever heard saying anything like that? Too many improvement reports to keep up with? Fortunately these guys are still the sanctioned stewards of our collective vision quality. Lobbying is awesome. Let's [...]
PRO TOPIC: Normalized Glasses Or Differentials Glasses Indoors?
Here's a common question, about the use of corrective lenses while indoors. You have your normalized glasses for distance vision, often emphasized for outdoor use. And you have your differential glasses, for sustained single point focus close-up use. This invites the question what you might do with all the in between distances? Short answer: Whenever you're not on the computer (or your otherwise primary close-up distance), use normalized glasses. No need to adjust for every single distance, two focal planes [...]
Kristen A (-4.25): Optometrist Confirms 1.5 Diopter Reduction
Here's a great improvement report for you, from our darling Facebook group. You might like this one since it's a) optometrist confirmed, b) has diopter equalization (left and right eye same diopters), c) includes more than a full diopter of reduction, and d) even has reduced astigmatism. All this in a span of a very short 7 months. Not bad at all for seven months start, and an "incurable genetic condition". Here's the full post: Win on every front. Myopia [...]
Outdoor 20/20 Gains!
"But Jake, can't I just wear plus lenses and spend every waking moment in front of my computer?" You know, endmyopia is actually all a big ploy. Yes, just like the haters say. A trick! You learn all these things about optics and vision biology and how to control strain and how to get positive stimulus. And then, when you're too deep into it to want to turn back, then you realize the dirty secret: Ultimately to really get back [...]
How Much Active Focus Per Day?
This one comes up a lot in the Facebook group: "How much active focus do I need per day?" Makes a Jake a little crazy sometimes, this question. Because of course active focus isn't an exercise. So 'how many times' is definitely not going the right way about it, and might even suggest that the person asking hasn't really taken the time to understand this very underlying core premise of our method. But you know what? My fault for not [...]
