Starting Point: Low Myopia
Congratulations. You literally have the least amount of myopia of anybody following the beardly method. But still it’ll take you a little while to make it back to 20/20.
Which having made it here before you ended up with high myopia (like many), is fortuitous for you. The so-called professionals have told you that your eyes just aren’t good enough and that you definitely need their amazing product. They’d keep telling you this while your myopia may well be continually increasing (especially if you’re staring young).
But now you are here to get a different idea about myopia … skeptical ideally, open-minded, hopefully.
By now you likely found 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:

Reducing Diopters, This Whole Thing, Is FOR WEIRDOS
Darling fellow endmyopia kittehz. Welcome back to another post, and another round of all the 20/20 gains. Of which as you probably know by now, there are many. But let's start this one out with something that bugs your favorite holy sage eyeguru, and I don't know what to do about it. Every so often I get an e-mail like this one: *sigh* Now, that's a well-intentioned message. The problem with it is, that you [...]
Joonas: From -2.00 D To 20/15 Without Glasses
No rants today, darlings. No rants, and no rambles. Just a quick update that I couldn't possibly pass on posting right now for you. Low myopia back to 20/20 is a tricky one. Though if you follow the correct approach, you will absolutely get there. In fact, many participants experience a very similar progression. Here's Joonas progress, in his own words: This is how it's done. A big thanks to Joonas for paying it forward, [...]
From 20/50 To 20/20, Angry Optometrist, & More
Dearest darling kittehz. It's time for the weekly progress reports update, which is turning more into a sometimes-eventually progress reports udate. I need to hire somebody to post these. There's really no way otherwise that they're getting done on a regular enough basis. We get so, SO many progress reports (I love them all, please do keep them coming) and I'm inundated by an endless list of pesky other tasks to do for endmyopia. Hey Jake, [...]
Janna: Double Vision Resolved, -2.25 D To 20/25 (No Glasses)
The 'weekly' progress report compendium is still waiting on my desktop, growing daily in contributions. Really not a moment of extra time these days, working on off-grid essentials before the monsoon season kicks in full force. There's basically going to be no building things outside for the next five or six months. So whatever we may want to get done, it's crunch time right now. Anyway. Even with all that, had to come in to share [...]
Eva: My Optometrist Knows About Endmyopia! (and lots of gains reports)
Let's try again today the new tradition of weekly-ish updates of darling kitteh improvement reports. First up, Eva: What can I say ... This isn't the first or only time I've heard of this. It seems to be getting more frequent as of late, which has to make one wonder. Is it just some synchronicity or magic of the universe, or are we really seeping into mainstream consciousness? And here, while this isn't quite an [...]
