Tidbits Of Myopia Science
Here's some third hand repost from smarter-people-than-Jakey, about all sorts of bits of scientific explorations. Source, this post in our private member forum (login required).

Furkan: -2.75 Diopters To -2.00
Furkan reported starting at -2.75 in both eyes with -0.50 astigmatism in the left eye in March 2021.

Well 'ello there, darlin's. Ready for some 20/20 gains that lead all the way to being unsubscribed from retail optometry treatments? All that and yet another reverberating juicy slap in the collective faces of retail optometry? To recap first and apetizer-ey, for the seven millionth snarky fun time: Retail optometrists lie. About pretty much everything, from why you have myopia to what their treatments really do. Whether it's out of unfathomable degrees of deeply embarrassing ignorance, whether of the [...]
