Ashish: Reduced From -3.00 To -1.50 (In 1 Month)

Let's dazzle the world with some more gains today, kittehz. GAINNNNZ. Ashish: -3.00 To -1.50 This one caught a bit of flak in the Facebook group: Optimistic? Improvements aren't entirely objective, at all times. Initial gains though should be celebrated and used as a stepping stone to building solid habits and a long term outlook towards getting back to 20/20 - and staying there. Diana: -4.00 To -3.25 A nice update: Opto confirmed, no less. 9 months is a long time to find active focus. [...]

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 [...]

All contents on this site should be considered research material only.  We are not offering medical advice or treatment or cures for any illnesses. The reduced lens method is strictly experimental. Before considering taking steps to control your own myopia, you should definitely visit a qualified ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eyesight checkup.   Specific diagnoses illnesses aside,  most) myopia may be considered to not be an illness at all.  Most myopia is likely just a matter of environmental strain, and excessive prescription use.  You yourself may be able to control and reduce your own myopia by 1) managing eye strain, 2) conservative prescription lens use, and 3) targeted positive stimulus. We recommend finding a prevention minded optometrist to supplement your journey with professional advice and prescription management help.  While not a requisite, a supportive optometrist may make your journey that much more enjoyable! Potential Side Effects: (1) You may experience astigmatism-like symptoms, especially if you reduce too fast or without paying attention to this (transient) symptom. Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
