It Takes Time To Get Back To 20/20.
And as most beardly sages will tell you, the path is the goal. Or something.
In this subject matter it’s every diopter that matters, they’re all milestones that will give you a better vision experience than the previous, higher diopters. -10 diopter myopia is nothing like -5 diopter myopia. At -10 you can barely wear glasses, your field of vision is seriously compromised, everything is smaller and more distorted. -5 looks like super high definition magic 8K reality, compared to -10.
And -4 is nothing like -2. At -2 you almost don’t need glasses for close-up, and you’re likely to get clear flashes even without glasses. And once you get to the last diopter, you can be without glasses in good outdoor lighting, and likely experience increasing amounts of great eyesight.
I also wrote several posts on the rate of improvement, and also did a quick and as-usual rambling video on the “how fast” question:
All that said, because newbies always ask this question (and who can blame them), here’s some updates from darling students who made it all the way to 20/20, or are just about there.
Because yes of course, you can (and should) go all the way back to 20/20. So enjoy some of the 20/20 gains reports here below.
20/40 To 20/20 Range Improvement Updates:
Melissa: 20/30 To 20/13 In A Few Months … Woohoo!
Melissa posts over in our darling Facebook group: Nice work, Melissa. Knowledge is power, dear kittehs. If you don't want to be an invalid for life, addled with glasses today, decimated by glaucoma, lattice degeneration, and retinal detachment later, then you need the knowledges about the myopia truths. Pay now or pay later ... up to you, like they say [...]
Chris: Drivers License Glasses Condition – Removed!
There are a lot of ways to quantify your guru-riffic progress with myopia reduction. One of them, getting the "corrective lenses required" bit removed from your driver's license. Bye-bye state recognized driving handicap and required crutches. Trust your original, real eyeballs again, good to go, even according to the powers in charge. You don't think of this necessarily, when you're [...]
From Glasses To No-Glasses 20/20 Vision
Every so often I'm asked whether students actually make it out of glasses and back to real, uncorrected 20/20. Of course they do. Figure that only a relatively small percentage post progress updates (I can't really complain, I'd probably be a non-poster myself), and that average myopia is at least 4-6 diopters for most people. That's several years of progress [...]
Nakanita: From -3 Diopters To 20/30 Without Glasses!
We don't really Facebook. Mostly that's your darling host's fault, who just doesn't have the attention span for juggling the social media. All for the better anyway, considering the type of heresy that we appear to be inciting all over the world. I'm embarrassed, frankly. Take a look at Nakanita's insouciantly flaunted disregard for professional advice: Go ahead, shake your [...]
12 Year Old Boy Beats Myopia
Lots of things occupy your darling eye guru's wee little brain, with this @endmyopia project. How do I get the new reader to stick around long enough to seriously consider natural myopia control? How do we create credibility and trust? Do we need to do social media things, make videos, leverage tools to get younger myopes thinking about their eyesight? [...]
(-1.00 To 20/40) Innocent Bystander Improves Her Eyesight
Today, back to the good news parts of the blog! :) (and more on the headline image in a moment) Matthew posts in the forum: Hey endmyopiaers! I’ve posted before that my wife has very mild myopia and wears a -1 / -1 prescription. She doesn’t wear glasses in the house and only wears them when she goes outside. While [...]
