Reversing Low Myopia: Your eye is a stimulus response system. The degree of myopia is largely irrelevant to your ability to reverse it – in other words, you can always reverse both pseudo- and lens-induced myopia.
The devil though, is in the details. It may seem more challenging to reverse that last (or only) diopter. The reason for that though is largely because it’s a) a bit trickier to get the right sort of stimulus and b) it’s harder to quantify a 20% improvement (for example) when you’re just dealing with low myopia to begin with. Read through this section for ideas, student feedback, and how-to guides for the low myope.
THEY SAY I NEED GLASSES?! (what to do next)
So you just went to the optometrist for the first time. And what?! They told you that you need glasses. And you hopped online. And fired up the old Googles. And searched for wtf that all is about. And stumbled upon this holy grail of all teh sagely wisdoms. Good on you. Now as punishment, you'll have to watch in video format what all that talk of you about to be some four eyed nerdface, is really about: [...]
Low Myopia, Close-Up Glasses: A Plus Lens Use Case?
Today, a quick video on low-myopia differential glasses (plus lens) scenario. Note that while this covers the general, common scenario, we're talking about biology here. Biology which varies from one person to the next, and there are countless exceptions, tweaks, and considerations. Watch this as a starting point, and one piece of the puzzle (rather than an absolute answer for everything). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyyN8ed3JN4 A bit of a pro topic.

Usman: 20/20 Vision With No Glasses
It takes time to get all the way back to 20/20. Also, you little sloppy dirty hippy heathens, the blog image is very clearly not photoshopped. Sergeant Warbeard Jake WILL NOT TOLERATE BACKTALK FROM YOU MEOW-SERS! SIR YES SIR! Oh shut it Jake, you're thinking. Either way. 20/20 done the right way takes time. More time than having your corneas butchered by lasers, more time than popping in some contact lenses. Though less time than doing eye exercises (for which [...]

Guixiao: 8 Year Old Son’s Myopia REVERSED
Today, just a quick one. No epic rants, no momentous digressions. This one is for you if you have kids. If you have kids and you'd rather not have them become socially awkward, withdrawn, afraid of sports and physical activities because they're now stuck with glasses. Myopia is a refractive state, nothing more. And the eye is designed to change refractive states based on environmental input. Don't buy into the "genetic illness" propaganda talk. Her's Guixiao's first hand report: [...]
Kasper: Reversed My Low Myopia
There's a category for whining and crying in a cantankerous old eye guru's e-mail inbox, in particular about low myopia. Oh Jake, I'm not making gains. Oh Jake, this isn't working. Oh Jake, plzz. Number one problem of course, that I made a category for this sort of crybaby attitude for my e-mail admin to file e-mails in. So even if I just skim-and-delete through that folder, it's still enough to make the imaginary guru beard bristle at the helpless [...]
