Behind The Scenes: Improving All The Things
Hello, YouTube. Are we going to get all fancy? I get a disproportionate amount of e-mail about our YouTube channel. It's the thing least warranting of commentary, the work I currently feel least confident about. Sometimes you just have to keep doing a thing, though knowing that it will come together eventually. Optometrists called it "shockingly simplistic", site fans say I'm "borderline belligerent" (heh), and oh boy, if you dare say anything about various nutcase Bates practices. Comment bashing, watch out. [...]
Eye Doctor: “Your Understanding Of Vision Is Shockingly Simplistic”
Newsflash: We here at endmyopia do *not* know what we're talking about. We're a pile of simpletons, students collective reducing hundreds (thousands?) of diopters, and ophthalmologists independently verifying such improvements, including optometrist confirmed complete elimination of astigmatism, stories of optometrists expressing amazement, and high myopia to 20/20 vision recoveries (5 diopters reversed!), all worthless. Even optometrists confirming their *own* improving eyesight, forget it. Ya'll are a bunch of simpletons, ya hear? Hey, Jake, you say. What's your issue today? Got this YouTube comment from a behavioral [...]
Yulia: 3 Diopters Of Astigmatism – Eliminated!
You hear me talk about 'junk' diopters and about prescription complexity and about using only as much focal plane change as you actually need. Sorting all that out, a big initial part of your road to improving eyesight. Take a look at Yulia's experience, as she updates us in the forum. For reference Yulia came in with -2 diopters of cylinder (astigmatism) in the left eye, and -1D cylinder in the right eye. That's a total of three diopters of [...]
Eye Strain Awareness: Prevent Pseudo Myopia
Eye strain. It's what put you on the path to myopia in the first place. It's insidious because you're eyes are like the slow boiled frog. You don't notice the eye strain as it's been building up over the years. You were doing really fun things (computer games, books) or really challenging things (school tests or job assignments) and before you knew it, your eyes were already strain habituated. And also you probably had pseudo-, or near-induced transient myopia. [...]
Akira (-6.00): “I’m Only 21, Already Have Floaters And High Myopia”
Today, about a 21 year old taking action to keep his eyes. A great story! I look at Youtube like the puppy the kids brought home, the one that looks like he's for sure going to bite somebody (or everybody) before the day is over. Also, that doesn't even look like a puppy, kids. He's at least what, a half dozen years into a maingey existence? But so far the Youtube has been fairly well behaved. Occasionally even giving us something quote-worthy: Ak [...]
Casey: “How Clear Can I Get With The Lasiks?”
Some days I find my finger is stuck, just hovers over the delete button. I feel like if I press down once now, I'm not sure if I can stop. Just keep hitting the button over and over deleting e-mails till everything marked 'reader inquiry' is gone. Just a blank, white screen, task complete. Imagine the moment of peace. All questions averted. Everything I would answer anyway, can be found in the blog. Questions that couldn't be sorted with a search, [...]
