-10.00 Diopters To -9.00
The writer reports improving from -10.00 to -9.00 in the right eye and from -9.00 to -8.50 in the left eye during the first months after starting about two years ago, then holding steady. In December 2023 an ophthalmologist measured 20/20 corrected vision in both eyes using the same glasses worn for two years while working with computers. They did not reach 15/20 but plan to keep working on their vision in 2024. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia [...]
Saswati: -3.75 Diopters To -3.00

They now use -3 D SPH both eyes for normalised and -1.75 D SPH for differentials, and are working on active focus at the 20/60 and 20/20 lines [...]

Ben C.: -5.00 Diopters To -4.00
Ben originally had -5.00 with glasses and -4.50 with contacts before starting. He is currently working with -4.00 after staying at -4.25 for almost a year and a half. He sometimes uses a slightly stronger prescription at night when doing a lot of driving. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
