John: Progress From -5.50 to -4.00
John writes:I started this program in July last year (2013), with about -5.5 for both eyes with astigmatism at about -0.5, and a +2.50 add for reading (I am 60 years old). My glasses were progressives. I suspect I may have bee over-prescribed; the progressives eased that over-prescription a bit as tilting the head back a bit gave a lower prescription effect for whatever I was looking at.In September, I had a check up and came out with -4.75 OD [...]

Bradley: Improving From -4.00 to -1.5
Bradley writes in the forum: I’ve been offline from the forum for many months now, but I am still actively following the #endmyopia Method in pursuit of eliminating my myopia. To give a quick review, I started the course about seven months ago in August 2013, and got a -1.5 prescription soon afterwards — compared with my old glasses, that’s a reduction from -4 to -1.5!
