Optometrist Confirmed Vision Improvement. This, a sub category to the many hundreds of vision improvement reports from darling readers and students of endmyopia. While we believe that you can make your own objective measurements at home, it is a nice bonus to get the “professional” confirmation.
Note that all reports here are posted by students and readers (e-mail and Facebook group). We don’t independently verify results (though we do track opt-in data for BackTo20/20 students progress).
Andrew Visits The Optometrist: -3.75 D Reduced To -2.25 D
Welcome back, kittehs! You know one of my most favorite kind of stories? It goes something like this. Guy (or girl) wears glasses. Guy (or girl) hears from a friend, or from the Googles, that there's something fishy about the mainstream myopia story. Girl (or guy) digs in, becomes a student of the endmyopia ways, begins improving eyesight. Optometrist visits ensue which confirm continually improving eyesight, and lower diopters. You say, well Jake. Not sure why you're always such a [...]
(-4.00 Progress) Eye Exam Confirms: 63 Year Old Cuts Myopia In HALF
Can we brag a little bit, kittehs? No, not the post picture. That's just lacking creative ideas today. Go ahead, Jake, you say. Probably no worse than your Instagram. So some days I've got the most awesomest e-mail inbox. It's been overcrowded one lately (since I managed to break myself with an especially dumb self experiment, lucidity to answer e-mails has been lacking). But as I keep digging through the backlog, so much of what I read is like Christmas, over and over. Take a [...]
Optometrist (-5.50 Progress): “Eyes Gone Back To An Older Prescription”
There's one key premise that made me moderately successful in my previous career: Never take anyone's word for things that will be critically important to your decision making. An example: I wasn't an accountant (I'd be the worst accountant, seriously). We'd get these in-house accountant summaries of financials, a neat few pages covering dozens of boxes of paperwork. Everybody was using the summaries. Everybody but Jake. I'd kept an eye on the in-house accountants, and I didn't trust them. I had my own guy (kid in school [...]
Eric”s (from -4.25) Optometrist: “Amazing! What Did You Do?”
Opening e-mail is a bit like Christmas, these days. Lots and lots and lots of great stories. Check out what Eric just sent over, brilliant experience (and he's lucky too, to have found an optometrist with some sense and curiosity, and not an outsized ego). There's hope for myopes, yet! Big thumbs up to Eric for making those gains, and especially taking the time to write! If you haven't started yet, take inspiration from Eric. He read the blog, he [...]
First Ever: Optometrist Confirms OWN Vision Improvement
Above: Excerpt of my recent Skype chat with Despina (her update posted here of course with approval). At least it's the first ever for here online at @endmyopia, this story. Despina, our resident contributing optometrist, went to her optometrist (all Escher-like) and confirmed that her vision has improved by 0.75 diopters. Now of course this is not an absolute surprise to you, frequent blog reader. But it's great nonetheless, having a properly licensed and mainstream connected professional try BackTo20/20 (and [...]
Atikur: Optometrist Confirms Lower Prescriptions!
Here is a nice reader e-mail, once again showing that the blog is full of eye guru powers for you to leverage. Take a look: Hi Jake I emailed you recently asking if I could get forum access to help with my myopia, you then kindly pointed me towards the free version the blog. So I started, I had a pair of old glasses -4.00 which I wore and stuck a snellen chart in my living room. Every [...]
