Bryan: -5.25 D Reduced To -3.25 D (In 18 Months)
Bryan goes from -5.25 to -3.25. A worthwhile two diopter bit of 20/20 gains, this. -5.25 diopters. The mainstream pretends it's no big deal. Hey there little buddy wear these plastic lenses, pretend we're still living in the medical stone age. These glasses will fix you right up, son. Realistically though you are entirely helpless if you loose those glasses or contact lenses. Just think about it. How far can you make it on your own, without 5 and more [...]
Kristen: From -4.25 To -3.25 (In Two Months)
It's time darlings, for another student 20/20 gains progress report. Title of this story? A little misleading. Let's look at what Kristen says first hand, get the actual scenario: We do what we do. Those are some excellent starter gains. Except, you know. Fixing initial overcorrection and eye strain is "easy". Relatively you're not quite yet really reversing your myopia, you're just correcting some of the major issues with too many diopters and the basic problems of using all that [...]
The Endmyopia Scam Facebook Thread
Yes, today is a funny one. As you might have seen from the article headline image, someone joined our Facebook group to call out the bearded sagely one. Indra. Brave one, right into the lion's den. There's one thing worth considering for these kind of things. Which is, be open to criticism, to questioning, to disbelief, to being called out.

You can remove as much water as you want, but if the hole is still there [...]
Melissa (-7.00): Eyes Damaged, Uncorrectable – Said The Optometrist
Today let's look at a case of "eyes damaged in a way uncorrectable with lenses". You'll notice a guru-trend here in the blog of things that require a measure of sarcasm, presented in quotations. Like "eye doctor", or "Bates Method teacher". And it's perfectly normal to attribute all the derision to some natural proclivity of an elusive eye guru to be grumpy old geezer-stein. But then if you read enough here in the blog, look at enough [...]
Unicorn Farming Nonsense: Bates Method & No Glasses
Oh, darlings. Getting VanderJakenbergen riled up again. Yes. People e-mailing me that their Bates teachers are telling them to stop wearing glasses. Wait. "Bates". "Teachers". There we go, fixed the grammatical bits to reflect their title more accurately. These things drive me just a tiny bit (more) insane. Why? Because I too look for health ideas online. When I had weird thyroid issues. TMJ teeth grinding bits. When looking up blood test numbers. And always, without fail, there's the [...]
