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:
-4.25 To -2.25 Diopters | Vision Improvement Update
Another one of our many vision improvement updates.
Meleisa: -5.25 Diopters To -3.50
Meleisa reports improving from L -5.25 and R -5.00 to L -3.50 and R -3.00. She says she decreased quickly at first, then hit a plateau after doing active focus less often, and has been doing active focus all day for the last month. She expects to drop another quarter diopter within a few days. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Carola: -3.75 Diopters To -2.00
Carola reported her right eye was the more myopic, starting at -3.75 sphere with -0.5 cylinder, while her left eye was -2.25 sphere with -1.25 cylinder. She now drives comfortably at -2.25 or even -2, and her current glasses are -2 for the right eye and -1.5 for the left. When she does not need to drive she mostly wears no glasses, and she recently ran a marathon without glasses. See more documented cases in the [...]
-4.25 Diopters To -2.50
The writer says they have followed EndMyopia for a couple of years and slowly reduced their sphere from -4.25 to -2.50 in both the left and right eye. They report still working on high astigmatism in the left eye. The optometrist visit mentioned in the message is for their newly-turned-three-year-old child, not for the writer's own numbers. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Itamar: -5.00 Diopters To -4.50
Itamar started with glasses of -5.00 SPH in both eyes many years ago, with -2.25 CYL in the left eye and -3.00 CYL in the right. After reducing on his own, an optometrist in Berlin performed a German eye exam that measured -4.50 SPH in both eyes, with -2.50 CYL (L) and -3.50 CYL (R). He now wears -3.50 SPH glasses and reads the 20/25 line using active focus, though that current level is self-reported. See [...]
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.
