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
Jordan: Drivers License Lens Restriction Removed!
Quick one today, two for one improvement reports. First Jordan, who despite having fallen off the 20/20 gains wagon for a bit, has managed some significant milestones: On a positive note. If the state says you don't need glasses to drive, then you pretty well don't need glasses. That's one of the ultimate goals for your 20/20 gains! And to help reduce the backlog of improvement reports waiting to be posted, let's also give a thumbs [...]
William: -2.00 Reduced To No Glasses 20/20 Vision
It's time to catch up on some of the guru e-mail. Prepare for a colorful multitude of improvement reports today! First up, William: So close. Last diopter, always the tricky one. See the low myopia section of the blog. And here's Jaqueline having made more than the average progress of a year of improving eyesight, with 1.25 plastic focal plane diopters eliminated already: Solid progress. Yes, today was (yet again) meant to finally write a quick post [...]
Amanda’s Daughter: 20/63 Improved To 20/40 (In One Month!)
Child myopia? It's not a thing! There's literally no good reason to let your children become profit centers for mainstream optometry. Literally none, unless you don't feel like doing the annoying you-know-what thing - actual parenting. And as a darling eye guru is discovering having a 2 year old now, actual parenting indeed is a giant pain. Having a large extended family and lots of frequent visitors, some days it feels that all I do [...]
Kavish’ Optometrist Report: 20/20 By Dec 2018?
The guru time clock is ticking fast, my darling kittehs. Jakey must make it to the embassy today, and the cranky Chinese Hong Kong wizard watch maker, and the bank, and deal with stuffy suits on two conference calls, and then also look for particularly dumb ideas in a three mile long spreadsheet. That's before the afternoon list of to do things. And the endmyopia-work-time clock says 11 minutes remaining. So that's 11 minutes to post [...]
Aza’s Optometrist Confirms: 1.50 Diopter Astigmatism Reduction
Astigmatism reduced dramatically. Myopia reduced as well. And all of it, optometrist confirmed. Yes, it's that time again. Time to strut the stuff. Show off the gains. Preen prodigiously on behalf of darling readers and practice-ers of the guru's methods for all the 20/20 gains. We'll keep this one short and partially rant-free. Note below Aza's percentage spherical reduction is actually quite excellent, as well as a lot less astigmatism. That latter one is nice since [...]
Eva’s Progress: From -2.50 D To -1.00 D (And No Glasses)
Step into the Holy, Unholy Temples of MEOW, darling kittehs. For some 20/20 gains. No matter whether you're arriving here with high myopia or with low myopia, it's all just refractive states. And those refractive states are simply a matter of stimulus (and strain). You can see what you want to see. You can see what you habitually see. If all you see is screens, eventually all you *will* see is screens. Om shanti shanti, kittehs. [...]
