Cameron: -11.50 Diopters To -8.00
Cameron started about two years ago with very high myopia, around -13 in glasses and roughly -11 to -11.5 in contacts. About a month ago she reduced to -7.5 and -8.0 in contacts, and her own measurements with the End Myopia app land around -8 for both eyes, with a best reading of -6.5. She reports little distance blur at the new correction but ongoing slight double vision she wants to resolve. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case [...]
Libby: -5.25 Diopters To -3.75
In April 2022, Libby's right eye was -5.25 with -1.00 cylinder and her left eye was -5.00 with -0.50 cylinder. As of October 2023, her right eye was -3.75 with -0.75 cylinder and her left eye was -3.50 with -0.25 cylinder. She mentioned poor screen habits over the past year during pregnancy and while doing night feeds with a new baby. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Vladimir: -2.00 Diopters To 20/20
Oh boy, I can imagine the comments already. "But Jake, that was barely two diopters. From there to 20/20 that's not even impressive, brrrrrrro." But here, anyway: There are a lot more of these, some starting with much higher diopters. If it's just regular improvement reports, people aren't happy because "bro that's not 20/20 there's no point". If it's massive gains, people aren't happy because "bro why am I not getting four hundred million percent gains in a month, that [...]
Research Professor Wants To Try EM (-5.50 To -3.50 Diopter Gains)
Just because it's true, doesn't mean it matters.
Tina C.: -4.25 Diopters To -3.25
Tina Cherian started EndMyopia in February 2021 and posted an update coming up on three years later. An optometrist prescription confirms a 1.00 diopter improvement in the left eye and a 0.75 diopter improvement in the right eye, and her astigmatism was dropped. Her current prescription reads -3.25 in the left eye and -2.25 in the right eye. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Edyta: -2.50 Diopters To -1.25
Edyta visited the opticians for the first time in five years. Her previous prescription was -2.00 and -2.50, which she felt was too strong, so she wore weaker old glasses of -1.25 to -1.75 in the meantime. Her new prescription measured today is -1.25, with the optician agreeing to make -1.00 for sunglasses. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
