Another ‘How To Get Past A Plateau’ Post
Been wearing the same normalized glasses forever, getting no more 20/20 gains? Well darling ... you're most likely hanging out on a plateau. Let's discuss. There must be a million posts by now, discussing plateaus (tip: Google "endmyopia plateau" and similar keywords to find posts). Here's a new one from the support forum, starting with the case: I signed up over 6 months ago and have been wearing my normalized since June. I had already been wearing a pair of differentials for a while [...]
Matthew: Dropped Diopters Too Fast, Hit Plateau
Just can't wait to drop those diopters? Are you smarter than the last of the living eye gurus? Did you say hey whatever, I can hazz what I wantzz! Drop the diopterzzz now! Good for you. Learning things the hard way. But then again, that's common. Even a darling eye guru started out by reducing a -5 diopter needed correction to -3 diopters and then immediately setting off (with just those glasses) on a trip to Laos. You're in good company, if you too think [...]
Mantas Progress: -5.25 Reduced To -3.75
Another progress report from the Facebook group, today. Note in this one the idea of having a (reasonable) goal set. We've previously discussed how quickly exactly you can expect to improve your eyesight. Once you have a few months actual first hand experience and established productive habits, you can start setting yourself some realistic goals. Here's Mantas: Well done. New readers often get tempted to overdo things. Try to cheat the gains. But eventually you get to understand your own biology and figure out that [...]
Arielle’s Low Myopia: Optometrist Visit – Serious Changes!
Today it's time to have yet another optometrist confirmed 20/20 gains report. We do get a fair amount of these and recently I finally made sure they get their very own category. A lot of this is inspired by the doubters and nay-sayers, who put an old eye guru on to starting to keep track specifically of optometrist confirmed reports. It's a good point, getting actual validation from the optometrist. It's of course not a requisite to go see those guys. You can self measure, and [...]
The Four Hour Eyeball (NEW BOOK!)
Darlings. I want you to know about what goes on behind the scenes here at endmyopia, at least once in a while. The relative amount of people who at least figuratively aren't short sighted is very small, and while we're the 'biggest' in our arena, in the scheme of things it's a tiny, tiny thing. For now. And since it's tiny, it's also quite personal. I read your e-mails, I follow your Facebook threads, I even face thoughts of my own very voluntary mortality [...]
Optometrist Confirms: Rich Down To -0.5 Diopters
20/20 gains. Science. How-to guides. And yet people keep asking, "but what about the optometrists, Jake". What indeed. The short answer, plenty of them know what's going on. There are smart individuals in a dumb field. Or maybe just in a field that's got nothing to do with you seeing well at a distance and everything to do with heads in the sands and making lots of money selling things. Or some third option which I couldn't tell you about. Maybe they can, while [...]
