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:
Reader Mail: A Whole Lot Of 20/20 Gains
We get a lot of e-mails, with improvement reports and thumbs up on the endmyopia process. I want to post every single e-mail of righteous gains individually. Each is well worthy of its own post, celebrate the effort and results. Too many though and we'd be here forever posting them all. So today here is an update post on the improvement e-mails from the last couple days. Read them all, they all should be [...]
Jakey Didn’t Drown (& Will, From -6.50 To -3.50)
The title, part a myopia success story. Will went to Gainesville, came back with all the 20/20 gains. He started with high myopia at -6.50 D and reduced it to almost half that, at just -3.50 D. Just another success story. But wait. Let have a quick story time. Jake vs. the ocean. Jakey's been learning to kitesurf. Sport involving the ocean and a board, like a snowboard of sorts, and a big [...]
Carole Shares: -10.00 D Reduced To -6.00 D
First, yes. A little click-baiting, that title. Carole did the first three diopters without the help of endmyopia. That would seem both heretical and implausible, a case of worshipping false gods and still reporting answered prayers. Smiteth, thee! But we'll let that slide (and graciously take credit via the post title). Here's Carole's improvement report post in our Facebook group: Nice progress. Almost cut in half, that myopia. High myopia is a gateway to all sorts [...]
Val’s One Year Progress: -8.50 D Reduced To -6.00 D
Just about exactly one year ago, Val posted this progress report in the support forum: Hi Everyone, I just got back from the optometrist, and my eyes are still dilated, but here’s some good news. My prescription for distance vision, corrected to 20/15, no longer has any astigmatism, and the difference in the eyes is down to only -0.25 diopters. I knew that from my cm reading, but my snellen suggested my normalized of -8.00L -7.75R [...]
Mina (-6.00): No More Vertigo Attacks! So Happy
Mina made my day today, with an awesome, brilliant e-mail. Mina who was suffering from increasing eye strain and vertigo attacks, and now ... well, read this one for yourself: Hi Jake! Yes I have been enjoying the blog and have been doing very well with it. When I first started reading the Endmyopia blog in September of 2016, I had been suffering from increasing eyestrain and frequent vertigo attacks that I finally attributed to my glasses and contacts [...]
Rachel’s (-7.00) Update: Optometrist Excited!
Have you ever heard of an optometrist getting excited about measuring clients improving eyesight? It's a rare thing, for sure. Read on! I had planned to get through some of the usual backlog of improvement stories today, get some motivating and great first hand accounts posted here for you. It's not to be though, at least for today. Because something else came along. Also an improvement story of course (as most are), but this one [...]
