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:
-9.25 Diopters To -6.50
Started the EndMyopia journey around March 2022 with L: -9.25 and R: -8.00 SPH diopters. As of today wears normalised glasses of L: -6.50 and R: -6.00. Reports getting closer to the national eyesight requirement for pilots. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Michaela: -6.25 Diopters To -3.00
Michaela reports going from -6.25 to a -3.00 normalised. She says she plans to reduce soon to -2.75 and that she sees better and better with no correction. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Going Easy (Active Focus)
From the (EM) inbox this morning: That's the right way to enjoy active focus. Cheers, -Jake
Mark: Reducing From -5.50 Diopters
The writer says their 17-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter no longer need glasses, and their 14-year-old son never needed them. The writer started at -5.50 and -5.00, has worn glasses since age 12 and is now 48, and is working toward zero. No end measurement is reported for the writer. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Lindsey: -7.00 To -4.50 Diopter Progress Update
People doing the "impossible".
Cameron: -11.50 Diopters To -8.00
Cameron started about two years ago with very high myopia, around -13 in glasses and roughly -11 to -11.5 in contacts. About a month ago she reduced to -7.5 and -8.0 in contacts, and her own measurements with the End Myopia app land around -8 for both eyes, with a best reading of -6.5. She reports little distance blur at the new correction but ongoing slight double vision she wants to resolve. See more documented cases [...]
