Improve Your Eyesight: The 4 Steps Starter Video
Ok, darlings. Finally, only took about three years, I made you a bit of a summary video of all the endmyopia pieces involved in improving your eyesight. As usually it includes more talking than a well scripted version would likely produce, but that's just how we roll around here. The video is now also added to the 7 day e-mail series and the 'start here' link - so that hopefully more newbies will be able to get a useful introduction [...]
Can I Get BIG Vision Improvements Instead of Small Ones?
Everybody is chasing the big gains. We want the big money fast, we want the big gains fast, we want everything, and we want it NOW. Also the case for 20/20 gains, especially when your favorite darling guru posts updates from participants that include massive diopter reductions. Yes, it's a bit my fault for stoking the fire of 20/20 gains greed. And while the initial gains are fantastic for motivation and really getting into getting your eyes back, there's more [...]
Low Myopia, Close-Up Glasses: A Plus Lens Use Case?
Today, a quick video on low-myopia differential glasses (plus lens) scenario. Note that while this covers the general, common scenario, we're talking about biology here.

Some of these videos are only available from the Pro Topics playlist. [...]
High Myopia Measuring Tool: Nate Tweaks The Diopter Tape
Our darling Facebook group gets the occasional brilliant post. Or maybe it's quite a few, though it does get its fair share of repeating newbie questions. Pro tip: If you want to make it into the group, answer all the join questions - I've been getting quite strict about not letting riff-raff into the group, lately. Here's Nate's high diopter tape tweak: Psychology might matter. To download your own (free) diopter ruler, courtesy of uncle Jake, or various awesome eye [...]
Pro Topic: Managing Your Maximum Diopter Gap
Diopter Gap: Number of diopters between your differential and normalized correction. This one falls squarely into advance topics. For most people, choosing a differential based on ergonomically comfortable close-up distance from a computer screen, and a differential based on about 20/30 on a Snellen chart, results in a diopter gap of around 1.5 diopters. Lots of factors can play into the individual diopter gap. Anything from accommodation range (age), ambient lighting, alternate close-up distances, preferences for distance vision diopter [...]
This Is Why Your Eyesight Isn’t Improving
Heads Up: Future “pro topic” videos will only be available in the Le Meow forum. The forum is free to join, but requires some basic knowledge about endmyopia. Answer the join questions here. We're going to do this one in video format. Because why? Because if you're here trying to figure out why your 20/20 gains aren't happening, likely means you haven't really done your homework before coming crying to an old guru about it. So as punishment you're going [...]
