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
Laurens Update: -3.75 Reduced To -1.50
Quick one today, have to post this great update for you before I lose track of it. This one from Laurens, via the BackTo20/20 forum: Hi folks, So today I’m three months underway since I got that first email from Jake in my in-box. A lot has happened since then. I started at -3.75 full correction for both eyes. Right now I’m down to -1.5 normalized and full correction being around -2.0. I can see 20/40 [...]
Louise: Child Myopia Reversed (+ Optometrist FASCINATED & more)
A guru walketh among us, darlings. There was a time you could have been born when the earth was still flat, much like myopia is some kind of mysterious disease in current day optometry reality. Right now you're living in a time where the old eye guru's teachings are still considered heresy. What do you mean, they say. It's bad eyeball genetics. Treating symptoms as a for-profit enterprise? Great idea, Watson! Nothing could possibly go [...]
Optometrist Confirmed: Imtiaz Almost Back To 20/20
Today back to the ever popular topic, endmyopia vs. optometry mainstream. No matter how anti-social the beardly eyeguru may be, the over 90.000 monthly readers of the bloglet continue coming back for more. The site is growing, the Facebook group is growing, even the beaten stepchild that is our YouTube channel gets a few new subscribers here and there. And with the increasing awareness about the myopia-illness-myth, comes increasingly more recognition by even the [...]
Joy: No More Glasses!
Well hey there! Welcome back. Welcome back to catching you up with some of the latest supposedly 'impossible' myopia reversal reports. First, here's the goal of this post: Keep things rant free, with minimal sarcasm relating to the self-proclaimed 'medical' establishment and their richly imagined tapestry of stories of a mysterious genetic myopia illness. And their entirely incidental gosh-golly how'd that happen hundred billion dollar profit 'treatment' enterprise. Jake, you're thinking. You're already doing it again. [...]
Eva: Huge Life Change, No More Glasses
The title gives away all of Eva's 20/20 gains. I often tell people that one diopter of improvement in 90 days is very possible. Granted from there progress settles into a somewhat more modest pace but still, you can easily get all the way back to 20/20 with the right habits and tools. A one diopter difference is *all* the difference though, when we're talking about two diopters, vs. one diopter. Gratuitously, reposting Eva's report here [...]
Kasper: Reversed My Low Myopia
There's a category for whining and crying in a cantankerous old eye guru's e-mail inbox, in particular about low myopia. Oh Jake, I'm not making gains. Oh Jake, this isn't working. Oh Jake, plzz. Number one problem of course, that I made a category for this sort of crybaby attitude for my e-mail admin to file e-mails in. So even if I just skim-and-delete through that folder, it's still enough to make the imaginary guru beard [...]
