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).
Steven: Improved From -6.50 D To -5.50 D (Optometrist Confirmed)
It's time for another (supportive) optometrist confirmed improvement report, darlings! Look at this one for all the ingredients of good progress. High myopia as a start, proper measurements of diopters required, improvements logged fitting the average expected annual rate of myopia reduction. Courtesy of Steven, posting in our Facebook group: Original post here. Bring out the horse, Jeeves, for this next bit. Myopia is one of the largest "health epidemics" humanity is facing today. Failing vision is affecting as many [...]
Optometrist Confirmed: Jayesh Reduced -8.50 D To -7.00 D
Despite my best attempts to diversify the blog content, improvement reports remain our single most common feature. Why, you ask? Because we're awesome, that's why. Here's Jayesh: Full thread. Note that even the autorefractor, aka. optometry's Magic Eightball(tm), comes to the same conclusion here. How's this possible, day in, day out, all these gains from all these darling students? The only entirely reasonable explanation is the obvious one. Jake is actually back from the future, time traveled to your [...]
Adam’s 1 Year Update: -3.50 To -2.75 (Optometrist Confirmed)
Another day, another improvement report. This one has two elements that make improvement reports extra special. #1, it's Adam posting in the Facebook group. E-mails are great too but Facebook helps removes some potential concern about these all being genuine. I know, you're thinking it. Jake's not likely to put in the effort to fake hundreds of e-mails for years and years. Fair concern though, the Internet is full of made-up unicorn farming. I'd rather have you skeptical than overly trusting. So, Facebook. [...]
Optometrist Confirms: 7 Year Old Improves From -2.25 To -1.50
I'm a parent. Myopia and this whole topic of good eyesight takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to your kids. Your tongue gets just a little sharper with old timey optometrists telling you that nothing can be done. Your willingness to do research goes just a little further (or, a lot further). Kids. The game changes. We're not going to accept the smug "genetic fail" so-called diagnosis from a guy with a piece of paper degree and a for-profit [...]
Reader Mailbag: -4.25 Diopters Eliminated, Optometrist Says “Myopia Reduction Possible”
Let's cover a few reader e-mails of great vision improvements (and one Facebook post) today. As usual we get quite a few of these e-mails. I try to post as many as I can, although the best thing is to be a member of our darling Facebook group where you'll get a lot more improvement reports, diopter discussions, and interesting Q&A threads. First one up, DeAnn's e-mail: 45 years of glasses! Nice part, DeAnn figured most of it out all on [...]
Chelsee: Optometrist & Autorefractor Confirm -2.5 D
Let's look at a nice, solid vision improvement update from Chelsee. Before we get there, note that while I mention the "optometrist confirmed" and "autorefractor results", I don't want to give that old timey myopia exam charade a whole lot of power or meaning. The optometrist confirming improvements isn't the ultimate victory - look at that checkbox as one more way to look at your 20/20 gains. Something even the interestingly rigged eye exam can't deny. The real measurement is what you [...]
