Night Vision Training? Is That A Thing?
*Imagine that guru style. Confiding myopia wisdoms amplified lusciously by all the beards. The Facebook group. Interesting questions. Interesting answers. Today, about night vision, in particular reduced night vision acuity while wearing lenses with reduced correction calibrated to reasonable daytime vision. Here's Alex, and his night vision question: Look at that wise, statuesque even, guru insight. Make sense? If you aren't overcorrecting your daytime vision, you might be loosing enough correction in poorly lit scenarios where you loose access to contrast [...]
Lisa: Did LASIK, Got Warped Cornea
Every LASIK related story I get involves a bit of real heartbreak. Of course people who are happy generally don't ask me questions, but the volume of post LASIK complication inquiries here at endmyopia is really discouraging. Here's Lisa and her warped cornea outcome: Ouch. Now, does that seem worth it, not having to put on glasses? As I always say and will continue saying, LASIK is a horrible, horrible idea. It's like a hundred years ago when "accredited medicine" [...]
Can Myopia Be Cured? (Optometrists & Doctors Weigh In)

A bunch of people from various perspectives, answering the question whether myopia can be cured. Upvote: The Truth [...]

Every single channel with a million subscribers once had a thousand, therefore endmyopia = one million subscribers. Despite that infallible bit of logic, numbers are just a small part of the story. As in, there's not much reward in chasing numbers. The real motivation is in individual interactions, and individual moments of success. [...]
SUPER BATES 2.0
Oh, kittehs. Let's just come to terms with one thing: It'll never, ever end, the "Jake-why-not-Bates" questions. Bates fans often think I'm just a disagreeable asshole (which is accurate of course). I'm opposed to it though at the peril of my own popularity or potential for making all that Bates money. I'm NOT opposed to it for your own disadvantage. I leave out the palming and sunning, because I don't believe it's an effective use of time. See my comments [...]
