Starting Point: -6 To -8 Diopters
This isn’t super awesome, mostly just because it’ll take you a little while to make it back to 20/20.
Which one could say, is actually kind of awesome. So far all the so-called professionals and doctors have been telling you that nothing at all can be done about your bug-eyed level of shortsightedness. They say suck it up, you’re a genetic dumpster fire. Give us your credit card, you tragic aberation, and buy these here 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.
Dawnstar: A Vision Improvement Update
A while since I posted updates. Yes and as always there are hundreds more in our FB group, in our private forum, and stuck in my 'improvement' folder that I never get around to post. You know the drill. Anyway here we go: But but but ... Jake. That's not 20/20! Of course. There are many improvement updates, but only ONE update that's the final one. Lots of those here. Buuuuuuuuut Jake. That's not optometrist confirmed! [...]
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.
-7.00 Diopters To -6.00
The person started at -7.00 in February 2024 and began wearing -5.75 differentials. In March 2024 their optometrist lowered their prescription to -6.75. They have since steadily reduced their normalized and differential corrections, and their current norms are -6.00 with differentials at -4.75, with plans to drop norms to -5.75 in February. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
-7.50 Diopters To -6.50
The writer bought progressive glasses at about -7 in one eye and -7.5 in the other before finding the blog, and never wore them. They are now using -6.5 for distance and -5.0 for computer work. They describe progress as slow but say their vision is not getting worse. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
