Questions & Answers. You have questions. And Jake has answers, especially if they haven’t been covered in one of the other sections of the blog / free guides.
Many of the topics here originate from your e-mails, or from Quora, or threads in our Facebook group, or even YouTube comments on occasion. Natural myopia control is a wide ranging and complex subject, and this might be the section to find answers to some of your questions. Browse and discover!
Endmyopia Facebook Group
I sent out a few e-mails yesterday to some of you, about our new Facebook discussion group. My estimate was that we'll start out with maybe 30 or so participants, see where we go from there. It makes sense to me that it may be helpful to be able to chat with other myopes, share success stories, make fun of terrible optometrists (no, of course not!), and just generally have a place to connect. 30. Or so. Clearly I did something [...]
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 [...]
Whose Duck This Is
Heads-Up: Jake is in Rant Mode I come from a family of medical doctors, as you may know. My father was a general practitioner for a large part of his career, and my mother a pediatrician. They both had private practices, and ran clinics at various stages of their work. We didn't have the best relationship, while I was growing up. This should probably be a general disclaimer for this site, the fact that I probably have a chip [...]
Dimitri: -8.00 D Reduced To -6.75 D (at 20/20)
Let's keep catching up with student progress reports! I like posting these not only for your motivation, but also since many of them offer hints and strategies as told by the students themselves. Some explanations may resonate particularly well with you, your style, or your current lens needs - which is why I want to include as many of them as possible. Here's Dimitri: Well done, Dimitri! The better you understand how focal plane changes affect your vision, the more [...]
Irina: From -6.25 Reduced To -5.50 (at 20/15), In 3 Short Months
Let's have another improvement story today, for "just with the blog". While BackTo20/20 is peerless, amazing, super worthwhile, it's something you might want, not necessarily something you absolutely need. Anybody smart, motivated, and persistent can use the free e-mail series and the blog, to get everything they need to get their eyes back. Pinky swear. Here's Irina's e-mail, on the subject: Yay! Also see what I keep saying. The only way you'll get answers, is by trying things yourself. You can't stand at [...]
Pro Topic: The Eye Guru’s Take On Plus Lens Use
Improvement stories and e-mails are piling up! Still though today instead of all the good news stories, I want to cover a bit of my current take on plus lenses. This, a pro topic. If you're just starting out, you first want to learn about how myopia happens, how to measure your eyesight, and the basics on how to protect and improve your eyesight. And of course, don't go monkey around with diopter changes until you know what you're [...]
