Val’s One Year Progress: -8.50 D Reduced To -6.00 D
Just about exactly one year ago, Val posted this progress report in the support forum: Hi Everyone, I just got back from the optometrist, and my eyes are still dilated, but here’s some good news. My prescription for distance vision, corrected to 20/15, no longer has any astigmatism, and the difference in the eyes is down to only -0.25 diopters. I knew that from my cm reading, but my snellen suggested my normalized of -8.00L -7.75R was pretty damn equal [...]
Experience It For Yourself: The Deleterious Effects Of Minus Lenses
A Jake talks a lot. Raves a lot, you may say. Ravings of a madman. And sure, you might take what I say to any number of mainstream sanctioned professionals, and they will scoff. Foolish nonsense, they will say. Myopia is genetic and glasses are the only treatment known to man (man with bills to pay and lens inventory to sell). Glasses don't harm your distance vision, they only help! Perhaps they're right. Or also perhaps they're entirely notably clueless [...]
Christiane: “Can Read Without Glasses Again!”
Diopters, schmiopters. Let's talk important stuff, today. Let's talk goals and enjoying life and victories and all those sweet, sweet 20/20 gains you are hopefully making. Because perspective is key, and it's all too easy to fall into the wrong perspective, but also all too easy to find the right one. Let's take a look. A great e-mail for this topic, a nice initial improvement report from Christiane: "Read without lenses again ... " Milestones! People often ask me, [...]
Andrea: Optometrist Confirms Myopia Reduction (-5.00 Down To -3.00)
-5.00 down to -3.00. That's a 40% reduction in myopia, and confirmed by the optometrist. Wow. The endmyopia library of individual improvement reports has grown quite impressively large at this point. Spanning years and students from every walk of life, ages from 5 years old all the way to 90 and over, and from all over the world. And these stories are everywhere, from my e-mail (and yes, I saved them all), to the BackTo20/20 support forum (obviously), all the way to social [...]
Keith Goes Back To Wearing Glasses (20/30 – 20/10)
Some of the vision improvement voodoo on the Internet says that glasses are the root of all evil. Stop wearing glasses, they say. Which of course is sucky advice, since you end up giving up all of your clear vision. And while your myopia will reduce to a small extent, it won't likely reverse your myopia or improve your quality of life. It's why Jakey says, don't just stop wearing glasses. Instead learn what causes myopia, understand concepts like [...]
