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
Optometrist Confirms: Rich Down To -0.5 Diopters
20/20 gains. Science. How-to guides. And yet people keep asking, "but what about the optometrists, Jake". What indeed. The short answer, plenty of them know what's going on. There are smart individuals in a dumb field. Or maybe just in a field that's got nothing to do with you seeing well at a distance and everything to do with heads in the sands and making lots of money selling things. Or some third option which [...]
Anthony (-2.00): Optometrist Confirms Improved Vision
Back to some 20/20 gains, today. There's a decent sized backlog on science study reviews and hands-on things which we'll hopefully also get too, soon. But these gains have been sitting on my desktop and they just need to get done and posted. Here's Anthony: Gains! No more diopter ratio, and almost down to the last diopter. This is also the point where you really don't need to wear any glasses for close-up anymore. That's a [...]
Ljupka: From -3.00 Down To -1.50 (In 7 Months!)
Today let's look at another progress report, this time from the BackTo20/20 support forum. You probably noticed that we get a lot of 20/20 gains stories from our Facebook group, as well as some that I repost from my e-mail inbox. I like to cover as many of these as possible since any one of them may be closest to your own situation and provide you with the most relevant insights. These reports aren't "testimonials". Look [...]
Back To 20/20: Emily Passes DMV Vision Test
People ask, every so often ... Jake, do any your students actually get all the way back to 20/20? They realize that they read hundreds of improvement reports, diopter after diopter, but the full 20/20 stories are comparatively few and far between. So it's fair to wonder, at first glance. Does endmyopia just offer some vision improvement, based on the general nature of reports from students? Many Diopters, But Only One 20/20 The biggest piece to [...]
Angie Goes To Gainsville: NO MORE GLASSES*
No more glasses. That, nice progress. There needs to be a little *. Which is, no more glasses for close-up specifically. An important milestone in the journey to being glasses-free, is no longer needing them to read up-close. Which if you want to reminisce about the past, you used to not need in the first place. Real quick, when did you start actually needing glasses for close-up? When your old-timey lens seller finally jacked up your [...]
Optometrist Confirms: 7 Year Old Improves From -2.25 To -1.50
I'm a parent. Myopia and this whole topic of good eyesight takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to your kids. Your tongue gets just a little sharper with old timey optometrists telling you that nothing can be done. Your willingness to do research goes just a little further (or, a lot further). Kids. The game changes. We're not going to accept the smug "genetic fail" so-called diagnosis from a guy with a piece of paper [...]
