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:
Joseph: -4.50 Diopters To -3.00
Joseph reports that after exactly one year he has reduced 1.5 D in each eye. He started at -4.5 in the left eye and -3.5 in the right, and is now at -3 in the left and -2 in the right. When he switched to his current glasses he could read 20/35 on the Snellen chart with a little squinting. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Lexi: -4.25 To -2.00 Diopter Progress | The Shortsighted Podcast
Evolutionary biologist reduces her myopia by 50%.
-4.00 Diopters To -2.50
The member reports going from -4 to about -2.50 over roughly 60 months. They say their vision is at least not getting worse on average, and note that stress and holiday sugar intake seem to affect their eyes. They also felt things looked sharper at a distance after an hour in a float tank. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Dov: -4.75 Diopters To -3.00
Dov reports reducing from -4.75 in December 2021 to -3.00 as of last week. He notes this is fairly typical progress and that he can now see his eyes in the mirror in the morning without glasses. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Jess: -3.25 Diopters To -3.00
Jess reported that a year ago the right eye (OD) was at -3.25 and the left eye (OS) at -3.00, and one year later the right eye was at -3.00 and the left eye at -2.75. Jess also noted that the close-up centimeter (CM) measurement for the right eye improved from a plateau of 32-33 cm to 34-35 cm over the same year. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Gina: -3.75 Diopters To -1.75
Gina wrote that at her highest she wore -3.75 glasses and is now wearing -1.75 normalized lenses. She said her left eye is ready to decrease further but her right eye is not, which she attributes to astigmatism that she does not correct for because it gives her headaches. She also got her brother to start wearing differentials. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
