Starting Point: -4 To -5 Diopters
Congratulations, sort of. You have less diopters than many, though it’ll take you a little while to make it back to 20/20.
Which one could say, is kind of good news. 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’re a failure in the vision department. 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:
-6.25 Reduced To -2.75
Ohhhhhh what. I'm still sometimes posting random improvement updates. Even though I'm retired. And even though AI exists and could probably make up ten million of these in the next two minutes. Is there even a point anymore? I don't know. If you're subscribed to my "newsletter" (aka the monthly random rants), you know I'm retired. Still maybe occasionally post some stuff. Best way to interact though is our secret private forum, or shoot me an [...]
-7.50 Diopters To -3.50
The writer started at -7.5 with astigmatism in both eyes and is now down to -3.5. They reached about -2.5 before last summer but regressed after starting to wear contacts, which they say made active focus harder for 2 or 3 days after each use. They work as an attorney with significant screen and phone time, which they note as a confounding factor. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
-5.00 Diopters To -3.75
The writer started in October with contacts of -5.00 in the right eye and -4.75 in the left eye. Six months later they measure -3.75 in the right eye and -3.50 in the left eye. They keep logs and measure their own eyes, and say a further reduction is close. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Michael: -4.25 Diopters To -2.75
Michael started at -4.25 diopters with 0.5 of cylinder about three years ago and found EndMyopia roughly a year later. He is now down to -2.75 diopters for his normalized correction and -1.5 for differentials, currently in his fourth month at -2.75 and planning to move to -2.5 in early May. He reports being able to see a lunar eclipse without glasses. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Elizay: -4.00 Diopters To -3.00
Elizay's mother reports that they started the program about a year ago, though not following every protocol perfectly. Using self-checks based on the website instructions rather than an optometrist exam, Elizay's vision improved from -4.00 and -3.75 to -3.00 and -2.75. The mother says Elizay no longer squints to see distant objects and can now play without glasses. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Ashok: -6.50 Diopters To -4.50
Ashok replied to a check-in from Jake Steiner saying his progress is going good. He reports his myopia improved from -6.5 to -4.5. No timeframe or per-eye breakdown was given. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
