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:
Cut Lens Prescription In HALF! (-6.75 Diopters To -3.00 Diopters in 5 Months)
Almost every day that I go through my e-mail, there's a story like this one.Somebody takes all the content on this site, digs through the science, does the free e-mail course, and gets to work on reducing their own lens prescription dependence. For most people who are determined and reasonably intelligent, it does turn out something like this:Do take this particular vision improvement story with a few grains of salt, because:Centimer, while an accurate measurement, is easy to look [...]
Kim’s One Year Update: -7.5 Diopters Down to -4 Diopters
I occasionally joke about what sometimes may look like an endless barrage of improvement stories. We could literally turn this blog into just improvement stories and myopia control progress reports, and cover every single day of the year.Who else, licensed or otherwise, can make (and back up) such a claim? You're the star of this show. You take what is certainly a challenging amount of information, from biology to optics to clinical science, you add your own patience and persistence, and [...]
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)
Jon just posted his latest progress report in the forum. 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 [...]
