Brian: Vitreous Detachment Because Of High Myopia
Here are some of the e-mails of the day, for your amusement.First up Brian, who has been stuck with high myopia and consequential complications threatening his eyesight. Vitreous detachment, no fun if you ever experience it, and a serious wake-up call about the possibility of living a life without seeing the world around you.Unfortunately nobody told Brian about prevention, about the reversible nature of axial elongation of the eyeball, of stimulus-based therapy. Fortunately, Brian found @endmyopia:That's how you go from [...]
See the Light: The Myopia Boom
Written By DespinaContributing OptometristThe idea that excessive close-work is the main culprit for the boom in myopia over the past few decades is not actually a new one.Over 400 years ago, the German mathematician and scientist, Johannes Kepler, blamed his own short-sight on his excessive hours of study. Imagine that. 400 years ago. Since Kepler's fundamental works were in the field of optics and the invention of a telescope, it is no surprise that he knew what he was talking [...]
5 Tips To Cure Presbyopia
Heads-Up: Somewhat misleading post title. We here at endmyopia don't believe that presbyopia is an illness, and therefore don't actually suggest that there is (or needs to be) a cure (but you can "fix" presbyopia, possibly). This is also a myopia focused site, so everything you read here about presbyopia, is based on much more limited insights.Can you "cure" your presbyopia? I don't know. Maybe. What I can tell you is that there might not be another person out there, who [...]

First, David: Hi Jake, I guess your question was just an automated email, but I thought I'd give you an answer just in case you are interested. Things are going remarkably well. In 4 months my eyesight has improved by half a [...]
There’s A Lesson Here: Yikes! Annual Eye Exam Results
Your favorite darling eye guru is currently somewhere in ever-honking, ever-ringing, ever-beeping, and ever-hammering Yangon, Myanmar. Tethered precariously to a 3G SIM connection, drinking some very exotically flavored Burmese breakfast tea, trying to coax enough invisible bits out of the surrounding air to transmit you this wee blog post. (more on this Burma excursion on the hardly-relevant, semi-secret Jakey Instagram).Let's hope the post makes it.Today's sermon comes to you courtesy of the scriptures contained in the forum of nascent eye gurus, [...]
6 CM Improvement: Air Traffic Controller Reduces His Myopia
One of the things I often emphasize, is that the eye guru method to improve your eyesight is focused on quick, tangible, real results. Even without becoming a vision biology expert, without doing eye exercises, without buying eye vitamins, without changing your life ... you can just dip a toe in, and get noticeable results, right from the start.Disclaimer: There is some degree of sort of, "trickery" involved with that part. Mostly the quick initial improvements are tied to reduced [...]
