Behind The Scenes. Highly professional outfit that @endmyopia is, behind the scenes is all entirely sanctionable, appropriate, and educationally valuable content.
Or not any of that. We take no responsibility for what you may find in this section. (nor anywhere else, really … Jake is any PR professional’s amused nightmare)
Steven: Improved From -6.50 D To -5.50 D (Optometrist Confirmed)
It's time for another (supportive) optometrist confirmed improvement report, darlings! Look at this one for all the ingredients of good progress. High myopia as a start, proper measurements of diopters required, improvements logged fitting the average expected annual rate of myopia reduction. Courtesy of Steven, posting in our Facebook group: Original post here. Bring out the horse, Jeeves, for this next bit. Myopia is one of the largest "health epidemics" humanity is facing today. Failing vision is affecting as many [...]
Strain-Stimulus Equilibrium: No Gains, Plateau Talk
Plateaus. A dreaded word, of no more 20/20 gains. Here's the thing, the progression that you're likely to experience. You start out with endmyopia, accepting the bearded sage's wisdom as your only true and divine eye-gospel. You find gains-ful salvation from the lens sellers and find yourself needing less and less of their artificial diopter eye poison. You're making righteous gains, just like the ones you keep reading about in all the improvement reports. Your vision improves, you're feeling [...]
Optometrist Confirmed: Jayesh Reduced -8.50 D To -7.00 D
Despite my best attempts to diversify the blog content, improvement reports remain our single most common feature. Why, you ask? Because we're awesome, that's why. Here's Jayesh: Full thread. Note that even the autorefractor, aka. optometry's Magic Eightball(tm), comes to the same conclusion here. How's this possible, day in, day out, all these gains from all these darling students? The only entirely reasonable explanation is the obvious one. Jake is actually back from the future, time traveled to your [...]
Adam’s 1 Year Update: -3.50 To -2.75 (Optometrist Confirmed)
Another day, another improvement report. This one has two elements that make improvement reports extra special. #1, it's Adam posting in the Facebook group. E-mails are great too but Facebook helps removes some potential concern about these all being genuine. I know, you're thinking it. Jake's not likely to put in the effort to fake hundreds of e-mails for years and years. Fair concern though, the Internet is full of made-up unicorn farming. I'd rather have you skeptical than overly trusting. So, Facebook. [...]
(Video) The Status Quo, Not Amused By Jake
Jake done did go and post a video on the Tubes, again. Mostly just a bit of a rant on some more of the general disdain of fancy doctors with fancy BMW leases and fancy mortgages, busy selling you elective surgery (nice way of saying, cutting you open when you don't need it). Here's the Tubes: YouTube link Interesting thoughts, from the video comment section: Al said it, not me. Troublingly for them, this particular narrative is on a bit of [...]
Angie Goes To Gainsville: NO MORE GLASSES*
No more glasses. That, nice progress. There needs to be a little *. Which is, no more glasses for close-up specifically. An important milestone in the journey to being glasses-free, is no longer needing them to read up-close. Which if you want to reminisce about the past, you used to not need in the first place. Real quick, when did you start actually needing glasses for close-up? When your old-timey lens seller finally jacked up your "prescription" past two diopters, [...]
