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:
John: -8.75 Down To -3.50 (In 2 Years)
Uncle Jakey's been getting a wee bit bored, lately. The hate and snippy comments from optometry professionals have long stopped. Not ah-one of them is stepping up to let out some rant questioning divinity and the existence of eyeguru-ashrams on misty mountain tops. Come on. there used to be at least a few of those e-mails, most days! Most of my motivation has been coming from adversity. If it's not about trolling the mainstream or schooling [...]
Felix: -9.00 High Myopia To 20/40 WITHOUT GLASSES
Hello darlings! Your favorite eye guru has been increasingly less completely on point of keep track of 20/20 gains updates posted by our kitteh gang. Every time I say there are more updates than I can post here, and every month it seems like the last time I said it was much fewer in comparison to the current moment. More and more and moar gains updates are coming in, as the site and project continue [...]
Leah From -8 D: Optometrist Confirms The 20/20 Gainnzz
Another day, another glorious reportage from the misty mountain temples of Gainzzzville. Stop it Jake, you're thinking. You're not 12 years old. But your jokes are about to be 12 years old right about now. Fair enough. So then here's just Leah and her very professionally confirmed diopter reduction, vision improvement update: Gaiiiiin .... ok ok fine I'll shut up. There are plenty more of these in our darling Facebook group. I like posting these reports [...]
Ani’s Optometrist: Improved Eyesight From -7.00 D To -5.75 D
Let's add another eyesight improvement progress report to the blog, Facebook member written, optometrist confirmed, ticking all the boxes. Note as always that I am not suggesting that you need the optometrist to tell you that you're on the right track with your vision. You can put up an eye chart on your own, you can have your own test lens kit, you can measure your own centimeters. The numbers don't lie, and measuring myopia is nothing [...]
Wayne, Joseph, Paul: Sharing Progress Updates
Today, let's look at a few improvement reports, status updates, thoughts and musings. First up, Joseph: Sure, "eyes wanted more diopters". Caveat emptor, with the lens sellers. All Joseph needs now to keep making the 20/20 gains is to work on a good outdoor habit. Walks with active focus, or some hobby involving using distance vision. Pretty simple from there to keep reducing the plastic lens focal planes. Next up, a post from Wayne in the [...]
Sudden Onset Child Myopia: From 20/20 To -6 Diopters (in a day?!)
Sudden onset so-called child myopia. One day your child sees just fine, the next day - hugely short sighted. High myopia diagnosed. No explanation, no treatment besides glasses. This happens, and I wish every parent in this situation would find this post before saying yes to glasses. At the risk of sounding like an elderly matron turned Internet unicorn hippie: Odds that your child suddenly becomes highly myopic in some irreversible manner, pretty slim. Odds that [...]
