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:
Low Myopia Progress Updates
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 [...]
Weekly 20/20 Gains Reports: No More Glasses!
Seems more than a week has gone by, and it's time again for some of the 20/20 gains updates. Not more has been going on here in the blog in the past week since your favorite darling eye guru has been on the road. I did manage to make a video summary for parents with myopic children, and as usual all the daily one-on-one discussions with members of BackTo20/20 in the support forum. But excuses for [...]
Darling Reader Mailbag: All The 20/20 Gains
Quick recap of the past week of guru-inbox and some of our darling participant gains highlights. First up let's venture to the Le Meow forum and an update from a starting point of -0.75 to currently lens-free eyesight: Charts! That's beautiful. And here's an 'eye doctor' approved update from Clement: (don't get Outlook for Android, though) Another one to file under optometrist-confirmed gains reports. And here's another -0.75 to 20/2o report: I'm not rigging these. It's [...]
Conny: -3.25 Down To -1.75 D
Ok, so ... Your most favorite and ever wise and sagely barefooted guru has been wanting to post some of the more recent videos for you, here in the bloglet. It's something I keep looking forward to. But then every day (every. single. day!) we keep being interrupted by all these pesky gainz reports. Like Conny: Interruptions. And I have to post them here for you. Since it's just the sort of thing that most [...]
Ehsen: From -2.50 Reduced To -1.25 D
Think about milestones, when making all your 20/20 gains. -2.50 means having to have two pairs of glasses (differential & normalized), and definitely needing glasses for distance. -1.25, no more need for close-up glasses, and often no need even for distance glasses (at least during nice daylight outdoor walks). It's just a bit over one diopter of difference in numbers, but a huge difference in terms of everyday vision. DIY. Takeaway - milestones, rather than just [...]
