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
I’m Your Huckleberry
It's the little things that kill. ('Little Things' - Bush) Ole Jakey be killing it in this month's monthly e-mail. For the sake of posterity and in case you most unwittingly and unfortunately don't get my e-mails, let's just repost it here: Hi , Time for the monthly Jake-digressions (for your darling eyeballs). You know what bothers me the MOST? No you're thinking, Jake I don't care what bothers you, like at all. I'll tell you [...]
-2.50 Diopters To -1.00
The writer started two years ago at -2.50 in both eyes and is now around -1.00. They have lived without glasses or lenses for over six months and can read license plates, street signs, and price tags. They also report a younger brother improving from -7.50 to -5.50, officially verified by a specialist. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Brittany: -3.75 Diopters To -2.50
Brittany started the program in January after an eye doctor prescribed her -3.75 lenses. She measured her own vision the previous day at -2.50, less than a year later. The starting number was optometrist-prescribed but the ending number was self-measured. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
-4.50 Diopters To -1.25
The sender reports going from -4.5 net (including astigmatism) to about -1.25 in daylight and -1.5 for night driving, now pure sphere with no astigmatism correction. They say they are at the point where they only need to travel with one set of glasses and hope to stop wearing glasses within a year. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
Low Diopter Musings: For You If You’re Around -1 to -2 Diopters
A post in a great thread over in our secret Le Meow community forum: Roughly one year and one period of losing and regaining interest further, today I did a further eye test, which confirms my roughly halved numbers of low myopia. You’ll remember, my maximum value of myopia are about 1 to 1,5 diopters with a little more on the left eye than the right one. Some quarters of which always fall on the cylinder [...]
