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
Irene 14 Month Progress Update: -10 D Reduced To -7 D!
Progress update time! Today we have a post from Irene in the Facebook group, sharing her fantastic reduction from a starting double digit minus correction. These are particularly inspiring since it's really like stepping back from the cliff - high myopia creates a lot of potential serious long term vision health issues you really don't want to encounter. You don't want to ever experience lattice degeneration or retinal detachment or glaucoma. You do want to experience [...]
Ben: -9.25 D Reduced To -7.50 D (in 3 Months!)
The improvement reports, the 20/20 GAIIIINS, they just keep rolling it. It's quite interesting, the volume of e-mails. And also the membership growth of our darling Facebook group (15 to 20 new members added every day - with about 70% of member requests getting approved). Like a tiny little fire burning at the edge of the forest, all of this. Here's Ben: Backing away from the abyss. There's something extra menacing about double digit [...]
Angie’s Must-Watch Eyesight Update (YouTube)
Vision improvement is a fringey topic. The sort of Internet health thing littered with all the unicorn pony farming and feeding on your hope and trust to sell you magic herb vitamins and secret-handshake eye exercises. Which, some people live for that stuff. Vague symptoms and magic weed cures. As much fun as that might be, our goal here is to get you all the 20/20 gains. I don't waste your time on the esoteric nuances of the self [...]
Cataract Alternative Treatment? Debbie Reduced -8.50 D To -2.50 D
Today let's look at a nice one year progress report involving high myopia as well as a cataract. Debbie is attempting this one in part as alternative cataract treatment, to lower her myopia before considering potentially surgical options. This one is somewhat complex since it involves work with a cataract (and interesting progress with eye drops), high myopia, and high astigmatism. Worth a read since it shows just how much you can accomplish before ever considering [...]
Oskar: 17 Years Old, Reverses 5 Years Of Myopia (-9.25)
Looks like we've been neglecting updates from the Temple of Gains, lately. So let's get to a bit of catching up. Today we've got Oskar - who is about to escape the madness of double digit diopter myopia: Lens pimps, not thrilled by this. You know you love these progress updates. And we'll skip making fun of old-timey lens sellers today. We're going to resist starting any kind of meme theme with similarly insightful theories as the "myopia is genetic" [...]
Carole Shares: -10.00 D Reduced To -6.00 D
First, yes. A little click-baiting, that title. Carole did the first three diopters without the help of endmyopia. That would seem both heretical and implausible, a case of worshipping false gods and still reporting answered prayers. Smiteth, thee! But we'll let that slide (and graciously take credit via the post title). Here's Carole's improvement report post in our Facebook group: Nice progress. Almost cut in half, that myopia. High myopia is a gateway to all sorts [...]
