Starting Point: Very High (9+ Diopter) Myopia
Ouch, very high myopia starting point.
That’s quite stressful, watching your eyes “deteriorate” and all the so-called professionals and doctors telling you that nothing at all can be done. Till you end up on this page anyway, skeptical ideally, open-minded, hopefully.
Then here 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:
High Myopia Progress Updates
Things Your “Eye Doctor” Can’t Do
Haven't posted improvement updates in a while. Same story as always. Anyway, here are a couple for you: The impetus for these, as per usual, is as pretext for a wee little rant. We live in interesting times. The JFK files just came out. I'm still a bit confused. All that can't really be real, can it? A bit out of that loop, never been into the JFK thing. Imagine if we had to rely solely [...]
Updates: 20/20 Optometrist Confirmed, -9 to -6 Gains, More
Haven't done one of these eyeball gains compilations in a million years. You know how it is. Doing endmyopia way too long, getting way too old for this sh*t. Die Hard, was it that movie? Bruce Willis? Maybe you aren't way too old for this sh*t. Maybe you are way ready to get rid of stupid glasses. 1/4 diopters at a time: Yup, that is a lot of small victories. Instead of diopters going up, you're [...]
-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.
-10.00 Diopters To -9.00
The writer reports improving from -10.00 to -9.00 in the right eye and from -9.00 to -8.50 in the left eye during the first months after starting about two years ago, then holding steady. In December 2023 an ophthalmologist measured 20/20 corrected vision in both eyes using the same glasses worn for two years while working with computers. They did not reach 15/20 but plan to keep working on their vision in 2024. See more documented [...]
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 [...]
-12 Diopters, Detached Retina
Read on for the happy 'ending' (or progress).
