A Must-Read Progress Update (Jon & Optometrist, -8.00 Progress)
Jon just posted his latest progress report in the forum. If you've been following Jon (here, here, and here) you already know that he has a thing for very detailed charts, independent verification, and putting everything into great concise detail. This one is a must-read, combining Jon's usually attention to detail, and optometrist verified measurements: Just came back from my O.D. First visit since I started improving my eyes. I waited until the end of the visit to mention that [...]
William (-5.25): 50% Improvement In 6 Months
Lots of interesting stories and commentary in the forum, today. Quick aside: I've been doing screenshots instead of text copy/paste lately just because it somehow feels more authentic (but then also slightly more blurry, ironically). Here's William's comment: "0.5 centimeter improvement, per week". Great work. Always remember to check Snellen as well. While both measurements *should* produce similar results, in practice they tend to vary, especially in various stages of improvement. You may get some months with Snellen improving and [...]
Christian’s Last Diopter! From -1.25 To -1.00

Cadence Progress Report: From -10.00 Down to -7.50 (In A Year)
There's a backlog of progress updates from the forum, and encouraging e-mails. A backlog! Love it. :-) Very awesome to read that many of you are benefitting from the blog and BackTo20/20. Even more awesome (and many thanks for the inspiration) that some of you are taking the time to write and share the details. You're helping others get inspired, find insights, gain self confidence. And it's keeping me motivated to dig into the e-mails every day and post on the blog. [...]
Paul’s Progress: -2.00 to -1.25 (in 3.5 months)
Here's Paul's progress report from the forum: Hi Jake, long overdue, but today I will add to your unicorn farm of progress reports, with some questions attached. So how is it going? I started at the End of July, so approximately 3,5 months into the program. I started with prescriptions between -1.75 and -2.00 and I noticed my eyes were getting worse (that’s another reason I joined this program). After some starting issues I did one lesson everyday and started to notice [...]
Scientists, 75% Astigmatism Reductions, & Pinhole YOLOs
A quick cross section of various questions and comments, today: It would be so silly easy, all of this myopia discussion, if we were all scientists. So, so, so dreamily easy. Trouble is, a lot of the PDFs and things I link in the science section, are all full of partially unnecessary academic lingo. So unless you're used to weeding through it, you might be inclined to skip the science due to complete boredom. That's very common and very unfortunate, [...]
