Starting Point: -2 To -3 Diopters
You officially have less myopia than many students of the beardly guru. That’s pretty good news, though it’ll take you a little while to make it back to 20/20.
Promising news, yes? So far all the so-called professionals and doctors have been telling you that nothing at all can be done about your shortsightedness. They say suck it up, you can’t see sh*t without us. Give us your credit card, consider yourself lucky we’re here, and buy these glasses.
And then you end up on this page anyway, skeptical ideally, open-minded, hopefully.
Then you start finding out that retail optometry knows that minus lenses cause myopia and that myopia in most cases isn’t an illness at all. Myopia is usually nothing more than a refractive state, meaning that your eyes simply adapted to both strain (from close-up) and stimulus (of the wrong kind, from minus lenses).
Oops. And you may look and find more and more articles on the subject, realizing that you’re neither hopeless, nor broken.
That part isn’t really in question, at least not once you explore a bit of the clinical science and studies that can easily be found on Google Scholar. The real question is, is Cooky VonJakenstein off his regal rocker, or is this particular dirty stock trader and capitalist Schweinehund on to something, with all this talk about reversing myopia?
This is the question. Is endmyopia just more Internet unicorn farming, or is it the real deal?
Spoiler alert, at the very least it’s run by a amusingly deranged creature of the beard.
But whatever. What counts is results, and so let’s look at some results for those who started out just like you:
Cheryl: -3.00 Down To -1.75
I get a fair bit of e-mail from readers who try various vision improvement methods prior to finding endmyopia. Sometimes they start with promising results, but rarely lasting ones. Most of those programs have some "breakthrough" premise (tempting!), a well packaged theme perhaps, sometimes using recognizable names (the "Bates Method" and others), or some person with supposedly fancy credentials and camera-ready poses, promising you the moon. None of that here. All I've got for you is building [...]
Andrew Visits The Optometrist: -3.75 D Reduced To -2.25 D
Welcome back, kittehs! You know one of my most favorite kind of stories? It goes something like this. Guy (or girl) wears glasses. Guy (or girl) hears from a friend, or from the Googles, that there's something fishy about the mainstream myopia story. Girl (or guy) digs in, becomes a student of the endmyopia ways, begins improving eyesight. Optometrist visits ensue which confirm continually improving eyesight, and lower diopters. You say, well Jake. Not sure why [...]
Anna (-3.00): 1.5 Diopters Improved! (How She Did It)
I feel like we need the next few days exclusively for reader e-mails. It'll be the only way to get at least remotely caught up with some of the great improvement e-mails we've been getting. Here is Anna's awesome progress: Note too, Anna did this with just the blog (for those who like to cry how hard life is, clearly some motivation and perseverance pays off nicely). Anna is getting back to 20/20, there's no question about it. 2017 [...]
(-3.25) Zero Dollars Spent, Many 20/20 Gains Made
Serious vision improvement stories. You don't want to miss out on these! In this post we'll focus only on ones that are "blog readers only", ie. students who use entirely just the free materials, and none of the BackTo20/20 participants who pay for a structured approach (which is still the single best thing out there in terms of natural myopia reversal). So let's look at a few diopters of entirely free 20/20 gains, as told by readers themselves. First [...]
Johnny: -5.50 To No-Glasses 20/20 (In Two Years)
Johnny posts his latest update in the forum: Hi everyone, time for an update on my progress Well this is the big one….the short version of it is that I’ve stopped wearing correction completely during the day! Even though this has been something beyond my wildest dreams for years and years when it actually happened it felt like a non-event. I feel I should be more excited but it wasn’t a huge jump in terms of [...]
Cheryl (-3.00): 90 Days, Near A Full Diopter Lower Prescription
Here's another heart warming myopia reduction progress report for you, from a smart and curious reader of our esteemed and impeccably composed blog. Cheryl writes: Starting out with a -3.00, and just a few short months later we're at -2.25. She's doing it with just the blog, too. See? Even if you don't contribute to Jake's immense @endmyopia slush fund, you can take back control over your own vision. So simple, really. And even [...]
