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:
Katarina: -8.00 Diopters To -6.50
Katarina started at L -8.00 and R -7.50. Over about a year of active focus she reached L -6.5 and R -5.75, then -5.50, before a period of less practice pushed her back to L -7 and R -6.5. As of 9 June she reports being at L -6.5 and R -6. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
-8.00 Diopters To -7.50
A few years ago the person was wearing -8 and the eye doctor prescribed -8.5, which they refused. They found the blog, YouTube, and free training and did some of the practices, though not consistently. At an eye doctor visit this past November they measured -7.50. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
-5.50 Diopters To -4.50
A 20-year-old member writes that a year and a half after starting, their more myopic left eye went from -5.5 SPH with -3.5 CYL to wearing -4.5 SPH with no cylinder for distance. Their right eye went from -3 SPH with -2.5 CYL to no correction at all. They also use -3.5 SPH for close-up in the left eye and nothing in the right, and describe the improvement as self-assessed after changing their glasses and diet. [...]
-6.25 Diopters To -5.00
The person started at -6.25 after wearing glasses and contacts for the last 33 years. They began with EndMyopia in spring 2022 and are wearing -5 as of today (October 2022). They are waiting on their non dominant eye to hold at 20/20 before dropping again. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.

Another trip down gains-ory lane.
-7.50 Diopters To -5.00
The writer reports reducing from -7.25 in one eye and -7.50 in the other to -4.50 and -5.00. They say they have not done much specific work beyond better screen habits and avoiding wearing their glasses unless absolutely necessary. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
