Low Myopia Diopters: Do You Need Close-Up Glasses?

It's been a while since we've gotten into Q&A and diopter how-to posts. I'm working on doing more in video format since it seems that's the way we're headed with online communicating in general.  Also I like to torture you with my homeless-man face. So the question here is this: You have low myopia, in the -1.50 diopter or lower-ish range.  You may have some amount of spherical diopter ratio and maybe some astigmatism, too.  Given this scenario, do you [...]

Janna: Double Vision Resolved, -2.25 D To 20/25 (No Glasses)

The 'weekly' progress report compendium is still waiting on my desktop, growing daily in contributions. Really not a moment of extra time these days, working on off-grid essentials before the monsoon season kicks in full force.  There's basically going to be no building things outside for the next five or six months.  So whatever we may want to get done, it's crunch time right now. Anyway.  Even with all that, had to come in to share this 20/20 progress update [...]

Lauren: My Optometrist Does Endmyopia

Just a quick one today, to repost one awesome e-mail for you. We've talked about endmyopia-supportive optometrists before.  That number seems to be growing, even if you'll only know about if if somebody else introduced you.  Of course no optometrist is crazy enough to advertise or promote myopia reversal and risk the devastating ire of the High Bishops and Pontiffs of Holy Retail Optometry.   Anyway, let's not ramble.  Here's Lauren: Secret handshake. Sanity exists in small pockets.  Lucky for [...]

Is Endmyopia All About Making Money?

Let's talk about an issue sometimes brought up online, on why endmyopia is "bad". It goes something like this: You can't trust Jake and endmyopia and the whole method and approach, because Jake charges money.  It's not free, ergo it's not good. To which my first, unedited reaction is, who are these people, f*cking communists?! The Internet having developed on top of an advertising model, and most benefits on the surface appearing to be free, in my opinion is a [...]

Eva: My Optometrist Knows About Endmyopia! (and lots of gains reports)

Let's try again today the new tradition of weekly-ish updates of darling kitteh improvement reports. First up, Eva: What can I say ... This isn't the first or only time I've heard of this.   It seems to be getting more frequent as of late, which has to make one wonder.  Is it just some synchronicity or magic of the universe, or are we really seeping into mainstream consciousness? And here, while this isn't quite an improvement report, I like [...]

Enis: BackTo20/20 60 Day Review (1 Diopter Gains)

Your favorite darling eye guru loves reading your feedback on all things endmyopia. A lot of times that feedback takes the form of questions, which tells me that there are possibly things I have to spend more time addressing.  Sometimes it's plateaus and lack of progress, which present the interesting challenge of figuring out where and how our approach may have gone off track. And sometimes the feedback is just a great, nice thumbs up: Kind of best case scenario, [...]

All contents on this site should be considered research material only.  We are not offering medical advice or treatment or cures for any illnesses. The reduced lens method is strictly experimental. Before considering taking steps to control your own myopia, you should definitely visit a qualified ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eyesight checkup.   Specific diagnoses illnesses aside,  most) myopia may be considered to not be an illness at all.  Most myopia is likely just a matter of environmental strain, and excessive prescription use.  You yourself may be able to control and reduce your own myopia by 1) managing eye strain, 2) conservative prescription lens use, and 3) targeted positive stimulus. We recommend finding a prevention minded optometrist to supplement your journey with professional advice and prescription management help.  While not a requisite, a supportive optometrist may make your journey that much more enjoyable! Potential Side Effects: (1) You may experience astigmatism-like symptoms, especially if you reduce too fast or without paying attention to this (transient) symptom. Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
