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:
