Choosing Normalized Diopters
Today, a quick video discussing how you might find a good normalized diopter compromise. There are quite a few videos in our YouTube channel that I haven't reposted here, it's worth subscribing there in case I miss sharing new content here. Normalized diopter talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXNfjfcbFJk Not in a very video mood, this guru. It does all boil down to personal preference and suiting your scenario and lifestyle. The more you measure, the more you actively take part in your visual experiences, the easier it will [...]
Christie: Optometrist Says, “No More Myopia”
Gains updates time, kittehz. First of all, please let me say that a darling guru is very, very far removed from the West. And all the curious and rapidly changing ideas about free speech, extra enhanced political correctness, and generally things that an old man finds quite confusing. Seems like we'd have more pressing problems than trying to practice being little fascists with each other while the big corporate machines continue grinding our lives into infinite data points and personalized ads. This mini rant just [...]
Pushing Focus vs. Pulling Focus
Much of the terminology around endmyopia has existed in the countless wind swept millennia before the Internet. Think temples and ruins of temples and ancient spiritual sacrifices. Or not any of that, maybe just that we started with endmyopia before the Internet did take over the world. Because of that (and because Jake's lazy and disorganized) I haven't necessarily put all of the terms we use here, in the FAQ. Usually it's when somebody asks, and I look, and it's not there, that I [...]

First up, our headliner: Not sure of the fear mongering backstory on this one. Will leave this one for you to ponder. And here's a good one, exactly how I'd say one should approach the mystical forests of endmyopia: Test all teh thingz! Another great one, tactically practically almost back to 20/20: Almost no more lens dependence. Here some solid [...]
Depression & (High) Myopia
This is a big topic, apparently. You don't find the ole guru digging too deep into emotional states and generally more intangible aspects of myopia. We should since that's one of the top reasons that you should start working on reducing your lens dependence. So if you feel despair about your myopia (high myopia in particular), watch this rambly video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHGJsSveHO4 Hopefully useful. One day at a time. Putting a lot into this resource to help you overcome adversity (of the myopia variety). Hopefully [...]
Leah New Video Update: (-8.00 Start) Now Down To -5.25 D
Loving the video updates! Very very slowly we're getting some of our darling participants to throw in some videos of their updates. So much more context than just text on a screen, and great to see all the enthusiasm. One challenging thing about video updates is that you're bound to get about five billion questions. Just to be kind to everyone putting out these updates please take the time to read and understand and investigate on your own (everything you need is right here on [...]
