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
Vladimir: -2.00 Diopters To 20/20
Oh boy, I can imagine the comments already. "But Jake, that was barely two diopters. From there to 20/20 that's not even impressive, brrrrrrro." But here, anyway: There are a lot more of these, some starting with much higher diopters. If it's just regular improvement reports, people aren't happy because "bro that's not 20/20 there's no point". If it's massive gains, people aren't happy because "bro why am I not getting four hundred million percent gains [...]
Edyta: -2.50 Diopters To -1.25
Edyta visited the opticians for the first time in five years. Her previous prescription was -2.00 and -2.50, which she felt was too strong, so she wore weaker old glasses of -1.25 to -1.75 in the meantime. Her new prescription measured today is -1.25, with the optician agreeing to make -1.00 for sunglasses. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
From -2.75 To “Glasses Free Next Year”?
We love gollllllld.
-6.25 To -4.74 Diopter Update
Nothing fancy, that's how we like it.
Kristina: -2.25 To No Glasses (Optometrist Confirmed Update)
It's sort of true, anyway.
Michiel: -4.00 Diopters To -2.50
Michiel started in September 2020 with L -4.00 sph -0.75 cyl and R -3.50 sph -0.75 cyl. He later dropped the astigmatism correction and reports current normalized corrections of L -2.50 and R -2.25 with no cylinder. He plans a further equalization step next year toward -2.00 in both eyes and eventually 0 correction. See more documented cases in the EndMyopia Case Report Registry.
