Optometrist: “Child Myopia Could Be Temporary”

Each day small treasures wash ashore in the guru-e-mail-inbox. This is one of the major benefits of having become the main destination for myopia control conversation online - a lot of interaction, a lot of people writing in, a lot of conversation happening in our Facebook group, forum, .... and messages that end up in the inbox. The guru isn't actually wise at all, but rather just the grumbling librarian of a whole world of individual experiences. Shut up Jake, [...]

Maurice: Finally Found Distance Active Focus!

As always your favorite old homeless eye guru is guilty of not posting nearly enough guides and how-to's and updates in the blog. Guilty as charged, your honor. You will find more frequently updated content in Le Meow (our private forum) and in our Facebook group.  A lot of times I'll just screenshot an interesting e-mail and post it in either of those venues since it takes so much less time than writing a blog post here.  So if you're [...]

Improve Your Eyesight: The 4 Steps Starter Video

Ok, darlings. Finally, only took about three years, I made you a bit of a summary video of all the endmyopia pieces involved in improving your eyesight.  As usually it includes more talking than a well scripted version would likely produce, but that's just how we roll around here. The video is now also added to the 7 day e-mail series and the 'start here' link - so that hopefully more newbies will be able to get a useful introduction [...]

Can I Get BIG Vision Improvements Instead of Small Ones?

Everybody is chasing the big gains. We want the big money fast, we want the big gains fast, we want everything, and we want it NOW. Also the case for 20/20 gains, especially when your favorite darling guru posts updates from participants that include massive diopter reductions.  Yes, it's a bit my fault for stoking the fire of 20/20 gains greed.  And while the initial gains are fantastic for motivation and really getting into getting your eyes back, there's more [...]

Will: -4.00 D Down To -2.25 D

Progress updates, darlings! Before we go there though, let's take a moment and appreciate all the deeply authentic photography of the guru available here on endmyopia.   Biding time while waiting to get back to places with faster Internet, to get back to some how-to videos for you.  If you're getting bored and hoping for updates, I have also been taking the time to answer some of the thread in the Facebook group and Le Meow.   Here's Will's update: [...]

Brice: -7.25 Down To -4.50 (Plus Reduced Child Myopia)

Today let's take a quick look at a great e-mail from Brice, who managed to reduce diopter dependence for himself, and his entire family. While I only manage to post a small amount of the total improvements being made by endmyopia followers, ones like this are pretty instructional.  All it takes is one family member to take the lead.  Learn about the biology basics, learn about diopter dependence, learn about the realities of myopia, as well as reversing myopia.  Then [...]

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!
