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:
-2.75 Diopters To Zero
The member reports starting at -2.75 in the right eye and -2.25 in the left eye. They say they reached 20/20 vision in one year. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Diana: -3.75 Diopters To -3.00
Diana started wearing glasses at age 9 and stayed at -3.75 in both eyes for about 15 years. After noticing her glasses felt too strong, she began reducing her prescription in 0.25 steps on her own and is now at -3.0 in her normal glasses and -1.5 in her computer glasses. She says she is about to step her normal glasses down to -2.75. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Sara: -3.25 Diopters To -1.75
Sara started at -3.25 last November and reports she is now at -1.75, just over a year later. An optometrist confirmed her improvement to -2.25 in both eyes as of May 2023. She reports lingering night vision problems and morning blur that clears after time in the sun, and says she is keeping up her habits. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
