Down to -1.50 D: Progress, Patching, Observations
* progress chart forum signature: Janna The forum is really very helpful for perspectives and insights and individual experiences with reducing myopia. I highly recommend reading it regularly (if you're in BackTo20/20), there's much you can learn from the collective experiences there. Here's Matthew's update from yesterday, working on low diopter equalization: I’m almost 30 days into a new normalized of L -1.25 / R -1.50. I have been working on patching for several months now, too. Here’s my observations: [...]
Kris Reduces Glasses From -6.00 To -4.50 (In 4 Months)
Youtube comment today, from Kris, a viewer and reader of the blog: I love getting these bits of feedback to share with you! Of course a reasonable diet matters (insulin issues often tie to eyesight problems) and from there it's not that much further to get some better eyesight habits as well. Nicely done, Kris. Housekeeping: Still in Indonesia for a few more days here, I brought various cameras and things but haven't done any proper videos. The studio is [...]
Forum Stories: My Eyes Stopped Bulging!
Do you notice a trend with the blog?I just did, recently. It seems like there are little phases of rants, getting into spats with the mainstream, bad news about myopia progression, industry practices, and crazy laser eye surgeons. And then there are phases of improvement stories, agreeable optometrists, and fascinating studies that underscore what we do here @endmyopia.What phase are we in, now?GOOD NEWS PHASE! Pretty much anytime we look at the forum, we're looking at good news (or at [...]
Matt Improves From -4.25 To -2.50 (and more stories)
Let's look at some reader and student e-mails, today. First up, Matt improves from -4.25 to -2.50. That's a healthy start right into low myopia territory. Well done. Avoided the LASIK. Lucky Matt! Some days it's easy to take all the improvement stories for granted. Especially if you've been following @endmyopia for a while, or if you're me, clicking through hundreds of e-mails a day (yes, I skim and hit delete liberally, and the e-mail admin does the rest).

(-1.00 To 20/40) Innocent Bystander Improves Her Eyesight
Today, back to the good news parts of the blog! :) (and more on the headline image in a moment) Matthew posts in the forum: Hey endmyopiaers! I’ve posted before that my wife has very mild myopia and wears a -1 / -1 prescription. She doesn’t wear glasses in the house and only wears them when she goes outside. While she is very excited about my progress, she is only marginally interested in working on her own vision. She’s in [...]
Shhh! Don’t Tell Them How To Fix Their Eyes!
I'm not joking.Don't tell anybody how to fix their eyes. Maybe don't even tell them that you're improving yours. The maximum allowable unsolicited eyesight talk has to be one sentence, or less. You don't want to be that guy going on and on about a thing you are passionate about, and everybody forced to listen could care less. Don't be that guy.One sentence, max, that's it. "Ah yea, I used to think nerd goggles treat an actual health condition, too." Extra [...]
