Put Away Your Wallet. Improving your eyesight doesn’t have to cost a thing. All you need is a modicum of intelligence, a bit of persistence, some curiosity, a little open-mindedness, and get ready to spend some time investigating, learning, and trying things out *(site content guide).
On this page, some of the most recent first-hand improvement accounts from student readers, who used just the blog (not the famed and elusive BackTo20/20 program). Read, learn, find your own inspiration.
Ismail 280 Days Progress: -5.00 Diopters Down To -2.50 Diopters
Heads up: Some unrestrained adult language in this following e-mail to House Van Jakerstein. As you read below e-mail, resist the temptation to ask me how Ismail did it. Because kittehs, I don't know. Giant overprescription plus lots of ciliary spasm myopia? Maybe. Is he overstating his -5 into a -7 because of the close-up distance? While that's actually not entirely inaccurate, it's also twisting the numbers a bit. Anyway, here it is: What do I say to this? [...]
We’ve Been Sitting On A Goldmine
I really wasn't going to talk about the Facebook group today. But wow, kittehs. How can we not! Seriously. Who knew what's been waiting out there. Join requests kept pouring in all day yesterday, I finally started putting a bit of a lid on accepting new members as we were barreling towards 400 members in less than 48 hours (how'd you all find the group, so fast anyway?). Me being a bit of a crybaby I expected mayhem to break out, [...]
Irina: From -6.25 Reduced To -5.50 (at 20/15), In 3 Short Months
Let's have another improvement story today, for "just with the blog". While BackTo20/20 is peerless, amazing, super worthwhile, it's something you might want, not necessarily something you absolutely need. Anybody smart, motivated, and persistent can use the free e-mail series and the blog, to get everything they need to get their eyes back. Pinky swear. Here's Irina's e-mail, on the subject: Yay! Also see what I keep saying. The only way you'll get answers, is by trying things yourself. You can't stand at [...]
Anna (-3.00): 1.5 Diopters Improved! (How She Did It)
I feel like we need the next few days exclusively for reader e-mails. It'll be the only way to get at least remotely caught up with some of the great improvement e-mails we've been getting. Here is Anna's awesome progress: Note too, Anna did this with just the blog (for those who like to cry how hard life is, clearly some motivation and perseverance pays off nicely). Anna is getting back to 20/20, there's no question about it. 2017 is a realistic goal, [...]
Akira (-6.00): “I’m Only 21, Already Have Floaters And High Myopia”
Today, about a 21 year old taking action to keep his eyes. A great story! I look at Youtube like the puppy the kids brought home, the one that looks like he's for sure going to bite somebody (or everybody) before the day is over. Also, that doesn't even look like a puppy, kids. He's at least what, a half dozen years into a maingey existence? But so far the Youtube has been fairly well behaved. Occasionally even giving us something quote-worthy: Ak [...]
(-4.00 Progress) Eye Exam Confirms: 63 Year Old Cuts Myopia In HALF
Can we brag a little bit, kittehs? No, not the post picture. That's just lacking creative ideas today. Go ahead, Jake, you say. Probably no worse than your Instagram. So some days I've got the most awesomest e-mail inbox. It's been overcrowded one lately (since I managed to break myself with an especially dumb self experiment, lucidity to answer e-mails has been lacking). But as I keep digging through the backlog, so much of what I read is like Christmas, over and over. Take a [...]
