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:
Some Awe Inspiring 20/20 Stories (-6.00, No Glasses, More)
Why the selfie post title image, Jake? Your face isn't exactly what anybody is going to want to look at. I'll tell you why. It's Saturday afternoon. Instead of frolicking at the strip club or spending time with the family, I'm writing you blog posts and answering countless questions. This is what I look like, making sure you're taken care of. My e-mail is full, every single day, with awesome improvement stories. Sometimes I look at [...]
Roy Is Making Progress: -8.50 To -6.50
The core benefit of BackTo20/20 aren't chiefly the well sorted, carefully structured, consistent-success-producing sessions of instruction. Sure, important stuff. But that's not really what I'd put the largest part of the value of the program on.Really what is worth the most, is the support.I get e-mails quite often, asking me to troubleshoot some Internet vision improvement guide (not my own, but other random stuff). I get requests for BackTo20/20 invites from people who tried other things, [...]
Michael (-6.50): Optometrist Confirms 1 Diopter Improvement!
Michael posts this update in the forum: Well done! You notice that Michael says, "on the one hand". There's the other hand, which turns into a bit of a discussion about very small astigmatism corrections, and various sorts of optometrists, and things worth reading (if you're a participant, here's the whole thread). That part, another topic for another blog-day. I'm glad to see the many positive notes on my attempts at being gentle, warm 'n fuzzy. [...]
A Must-Read Progress Update (Jon & Optometrist, -8.00 Progress)

If you've been following Jon (here, here, and here) you already know that he has a thing for very detailed charts, independent verification, and putting everything into great concise detail. This one is a must-read, combining Jon's usually attention to detail, and optometrist verified measurements: Just came back from my O.D. First visit since I started improving my eyes. I waited until the end of the [...]
Michelle: Can I Reduce Prescriptions to -7.00?
Michelle posts an update in the forum: I have been wearing the reduced prescription, -7.5 contacts in both eyes for 3 weeks now. I received my glasses, +1.5, last week and have been using them for computer use. I have noticed that if I can get outside every day my eyes both clear up pretty quickly in 10-15 minutes. Besides a dog, having 4 year old twins helps too :). It takes twice as long indoors [...]
Jon’s Progress Update (-6.25)
Jon posts a brilliant rehab progress update in the forum: I find students who track their progress methodically, almost always do very well with the program. More of Jon's update: Even with graphs! (Left side is the second number of 20/*) And here is the updated (longer) projection: Nice work, Jon. We'll have to see if he might be inclined to share his brilliant Excel setup with us, it looks like a great progress tracker. Lots more [...]
