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:
Jerry: -5.25 To -3.25 Diopters (Improvement Update)
Nice update here.
Libby: -5.25 Diopters To -3.75
In April 2022, Libby's right eye was -5.25 with -1.00 cylinder and her left eye was -5.00 with -0.50 cylinder. As of October 2023, her right eye was -3.75 with -0.75 cylinder and her left eye was -3.50 with -0.25 cylinder. She mentioned poor screen habits over the past year during pregnancy and while doing night feeds with a new baby. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Research Professor Wants To Try EM (-5.50 To -3.50 Diopter Gains)
Just because it's true, doesn't mean it matters.
Tina C.: -4.25 Diopters To -3.25
Tina Cherian started EndMyopia in February 2021 and posted an update coming up on three years later. An optometrist prescription confirms a 1.00 diopter improvement in the left eye and a 0.75 diopter improvement in the right eye, and her astigmatism was dropped. Her current prescription reads -3.25 in the left eye and -2.25 in the right eye. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
-6.25 To -4.74 Diopter Update
Nothing fancy, that's how we like it.
Michiel: -4.00 Diopters To -2.50
Michiel started in September 2020 with L -4.00 sph -0.75 cyl and R -3.50 sph -0.75 cyl. He later dropped the astigmatism correction and reports current normalized corrections of L -2.50 and R -2.25 with no cylinder. He plans a further equalization step next year toward -2.00 in both eyes and eventually 0 correction. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
