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
Shipley: -3.75 Down To -1.75 (and HUGE astigmatism reduction)
Let's have another gains update today. GAINNNNNNNZ. This one in particular, since it includes a huge drop in cylinder, which really makes it easier to reduce your lens dependence. It's one thing to take off glasses and just have a closer blur horizon, but a whole different to take off the glasses and get a bunch of directional blur (double vision, ghosting). Here we go, Shipley's update: Way to go. Note of course, as always: Don't [...]
Jenny: Had LASIK, Needed Glasses Again (but now…)
Here's a wee little LASIK story and also great natural 20/20 gains report for ya'lls. It covers several important points (that an old guru gets asked about in e-mails four hundred seventy billion times a week). Mainly yes, LASIK is not a solution, it's precisely the same bandaid as a minus lens, just this time it's permanently cut into your eyes. And also mainly yes, a lot of the sort of "doctors" who advocate LASIK, are [...]
Diana: Starting Gains Optometrist Confirmed
One of the awesome purported ideas about the endmyopia method is how quickly you can start to see tangible results. An old and dubious guru always like to say, a good way to live life might be skeptical, and also open minded. Don't believe everything you see or read, especially with this whole Internet-caused erosion of trust in general. Realize that there's a lot of snake oil and conspiracy theory and wishful thinking and unicorn farming [...]
Doug: 20/40 Without Glasses (PLEASE LET’S BAN SCIENCE)
Update: Post picture updated (minus previous awesome Jake guru image) after some fairly intriguing online threats from the "**** community". Note, I'm totally for religious freedom but equally for not being sh*theads towards people who happen to not share whatever beliefs. Various gods and idols may from time to time make an appearance on this blog, lending their divine cred to our cause. Cheers. So, darlings. Before we get to Doug who no longer needs glasses to [...]
Anthony: -2.00 Down To -0.50 Diopters (Optometrist Confirmed)
Gains. Today's plan was actually to regale you with a new video post discussing good habits with new diopters, but the gains reports are piling sky high. We must get through more gains reports, darlings! Here's Anthony: Solid progress. There's not really anything else that need to be said here. So we won't rant or point out obvious things, besides that 20/20 eyeballs are totally in your reach. Let's add a quick bonus update, from [...]
(Video) Alex: From -3.00 Down To -1.00 Diopter
Well hello there, darling kitteh! As usual, all the 20/20 progress reports are piling up in the jungle dweller's inbox, and the to-be-posted topics for the blog are exceeding an old beard's contentious abilities to keep up with all the things. Wah, Jake. Life's so tough, ain't it. This one though I have to get to you though, a video progress update from one of our awesome group members. Here's Alex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwC9y4WKZ7o That's pretty great. [...]
