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).
Optometrist Forced To Admit: She’s Legal To Drive!
This is a bit of a crazy story, that Stefanie is telling. Strap in, because she went from, what, 20/70 to 20/40 in a month? Legal to drive with a 1.5 diopter lowered prescription? Is that even possible? What is going on over here, in wizard land? Check this out: The title here was a bit clickbait-ey, I admit it. The optometrist is obviously pretty cool. Look at those numbers, though! February, we're starting with a -8.5 diopters. March, we're down [...]
(-9.50 High Myopia) Went To See The Optometrist Yesterday …
Not me. I didn't go to the optometrist. I've developed a profound fondness for avoiding optometrist consults years ago, even as my eyes started to improve measurably. Seeing those guys just made me either anxious, angry or depressed. It took me a long time to get lucky and find anybody in that profession who gave my results an actual thumbs up. Stefanie though, she did just go to the optometrist. And Stefanie has much better luck than I ever [...]
Optometrist Confirms: Astigmatism Is GONE!
File this under the category of "impossible", if you're an old-timey lens prescribing type of optometrist. Perhaps we should rebrand the site as some kind of school of wizardry sometime soon, considering the years and years and hundreds of students reporting these kinds of "impossible" results, and considering how all of this can't even be done. Old-timey optometry, vs. Jake's school of endmyopia wizards. Round 5917, posted today in the forum by Val: Hi Everyone, I just got back from [...]
Michael (-6.50): Optometrist Confirms 1 Diopter Improvement!
Michael posts this update in the forum: Well done! You notice that Michael says, "on the one hand". There's the other hand, which turns into a bit of a discussion about very small astigmatism corrections, and various sorts of optometrists, and things worth reading (if you're a participant, here's the whole thread). That part, another topic for another blog-day. I'm glad to see the many positive notes on my attempts at being gentle, warm 'n fuzzy. It works reasonably well [...]
A Must-Read Progress Update (Jon & Optometrist, -8.00 Progress)
Jon just posted his latest progress report in the forum. If you've been following Jon (here, here, and here) you already know that he has a thing for very detailed charts, independent verification, and putting everything into great concise detail. This one is a must-read, combining Jon's usually attention to detail, and optometrist verified measurements: Just came back from my O.D. First visit since I started improving my eyes. I waited until the end of the visit to mention that [...]
Optometrist Confirms: Roy’s (-0.75) Astigmatism Is Cured
I'm only using the words "astigmatism and cured" together, because Google. People search for these things. In reality, it's not a cure, because of course Roy's eyes were never ill in the first place. Astigmatism, in the majority of cases, is not an illness. Roy's eyes were simply affected by artificial focal plane changes, introduced by unnecessary prescription complexity with his previous glasses. Once Roy started working on the right kind of stimulus, and addressing prescriptions, his eyes adapted. Astigmatism "cured" [...]
