Matt: Improved From -5.00 to -2.50 (Since April Last Year)
Matt recounts his progress in this forum post, today: Hello fellow endmyopia readers! I have some good progress to report. Last year, about April 2014 I was wearing a prescription of: OD -5.00 *-0.75 *177 OS -4.00 *-1.00 *177 On the way to high myopia and all the risks that come with it. I remember, I couldn’t see my wife when I woke up first thing in the morning, or the alarm clock, without glasses on my face. I stumbled onto [...]
Why I Love Bodybuilders
A couple of days ago I teased a bit about plateaus in vision improvement, and how to overcome them. I didn't really get into a whole lot of detail there. Because of course, Jake-bad-guru. Or maybe not because that. But it's an advanced topic. You'll have been working on your eyesight for quite a while, successfully, before you ever encounter a real plateau. For the large majority of casual readers discussing plateaus is just going to cause overthinking things, and paralysis by [...]

Bad Plateaus & The Looking Glass
There's a daily routine I try to stick to with #endmyopia. Part of it, checking in on the forum, and writing a new blog post for you.

And then I dig through my notes, studies, source material, for the extended sessions. When I took over here, I committed [...]
Optometry Science Admits They Did It
I neglected yesterday's post duties. Let's make up for it today, with some <3 science. --- As always, I show you studies published in the very journals meant for optometrists and ophthalmologists. The irony in all of this should be self evident. First up today, the Journal of the College of Optometrists. What you should take note of as you read these things, that these are journals as far removed from pseudo science or anti optometry rhetoric as you can get. [...]
Q&A: Contact Lenses vs. Glasses (for rehab)
A quick one today, from the forum. Blake asks: So I just had a thought. My Rx is so high it causes a fisheye effect and it causes me to be very self concious, which was a big reason for going back to contacts. Would it be wiser to wear my full distance Rx in contacts and wear a +.25 or so for distance and then a +1.5 or so for close up work as opposed to a 1.5 lower [...]
