Endmyopia-Friendly Optometrists
Shjeeeees. They are out there, kittehs. Optometrists who know the secret handshake. The winkey-wink. The cough-cough-lower-diopters requests. As of this writing, nobody who sells lenses for a living is going to tell you that you shouldn't start wearing glasses. Or that you shouldn't wear full minus for close-up. We're not living in some kind of post-for-profit endmyopia wisdoms future. But we are living in the present. This site gets millions of regular visits. Even our tiny Youtube channel has over four million watch minutes already. [...]
Darshani: Daughter from -4.25 Reduced To -1.75 D
Kittehz. Uncle Jake's desktop is completely full of student gains reports screenshots. If I stick them in a folder again, same thing will happen as always ... I'll never remember to try to post them all. Yes all these 20/20 gains are a problem entirely unique to our holy temples of Meow. Since we dare to consider vision biology and stimulus, we're getting these unusual results of reducing myopia. Who'd have thought. On to the point: Well then. Here we go. One off the list. [...]
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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_XRX-10wvE Talk about a nerdface...

Do I Need A Test Lens Kit? (for vision improvement)
Here's a quick video lesson on whether you need a test lens kit. Note that this is based on many years of experience, which isn't easy to whittle down into a couple minutes of video. (Especially when you deal with the sort of majestical guru who doesn't script or plan his videos.) And as usual, don't go monkeying around with stuff unless you know what you're doing. I get comments on videos from people who can't grasp basic math or even more basic optics concepts, [...]
Lower Diopters Don’t Improve Eyesight
So here is a vaguely common and recurring problem. With some newbies to endmyopia. They read, browse, see all kinds of talk about reduced diopters. So they think, hey that's great. Less diopters equals improving eyesight. Got it. Going to reduce my diopters. Because everything in modern life has to be a quick answer-shortcut. Only takes a couple hours of reading to fully understand vision biology and myopia causes and also plzz-give-me-da-steps-bro. Or of course it could be a Jake's fault, not spending enough time [...]
Diana: Starting Gains Optometrist Confirmed
One of the awesome purported ideas about the endmyopia method is how quickly you can start to see tangible results. An old and dubious guru always like to say, a good way to live life might be skeptical, and also open minded. Don't believe everything you see or read, especially with this whole Internet-caused erosion of trust in general. Realize that there's a lot of snake oil and conspiracy theory and wishful thinking and unicorn farming out there - and among it, the occasional grain [...]
