The Jake Origin Story: I grew up with glasses, 5.00 diopter high myopia, and yet today have 20/20 natural eyesight. No surgery, no glasses, I figured out how myopia actually works and how to reverse it (and no, not eye exercises!) The mainstream tells you it's impossible - but the whole concept that myopia is an illness, is complete unscientific nonsense (a 100 billion dollar a year profitable nonsense, though).

Jake Steiner Hi jake can i use reduce lens method with contact lenses?
Yes. Have a look at the Facebook page. comments. There's recent posts about this.
Jake I have a -3 diopters eyesight but I want to get a reading glasses to wear in front of my contact lenses for closed up work(computer screen), may I know if getting a +1 diopter reading glasses is enough for me to work comfortably or would you recommend a +1.5 dioptre reading glasses instead?
For years i thought wearing glasses will improve my vision but really it just enhances vision while im wearing it.
Diamond Emerald same here

Wait, you thought if you wore your glasses for however many months or years then you suddenly wouldn't need them anymore?
@@nowandaround312 I thought that...
... that's no one's fault but yours.
Okay, I think I know what you were trying to say, but never quite said ...
If you just throw away your glasses things may be quite blurry. If it's too blurry then your eyes will have a hard time figuring out which way to go to correct. Confusion.
Instead, if you get glasses that are a little weaker than normal then your eyes will be able to tell which way to go to correct. And you can hopefully train them to focus with the weaker glasses.
Then you'll probably need another pair just a little weaker ... and so on.
Thanks.
Right on, Richard. Thanks for translating the rambles! :)
@@Dott.EmilianEpure I have -2,75 and I can see on computer monitor without glasses if I lower the screen resolution. Still, not sure if I should wear glasses, even lower strength one....
Pretty much. But it depends on your prescription too, I think -2.00 and higher can get away with only using glasses when necessary. But beyond that should probably use reduced lens therapy.
Could also depend on conditions though I think -3.50 and higher can get away with not using glasses outside in sunlight.
Richard F thanks for this
Did you try active focus? Did it help
But I have -6.75 in both eyes and I stopped wearing my glasses and my sight improved greatly…. But I still wear them when I drive or whatever I might need to see to avoid danger.
whats the prescription now and after how long?
Please sir give reply
Yea share your story
But maybe he‘s dead cuz he couldn’t see while driving
I accidently broke my glasses and then couldnt get new ones for a while, so I was like "lemme just survive without for a few weeks". Never ended getting glasses it,'s been four months now and my sight has improved... it might go back to what it was, but I feel it has gotten better.
put aside those glasses as much as you can. only wear them when you really need it, e.g. driving car, looking up words on the class board. expose your eyes to sun light, e.g. sitting on verandah, taking a walk. keep your myopia low (less than -3 D). you will have perfect-sight eyes when you are old due to presbyopia process. that's what happened to my dad.
Merry Adhadi how many years did it take for perfection?
My eye power is - 4.75 each eye... Will this work
so he was able to see far away without doing any improvements? just by the eye shortening over time?
i thought i have bad eyesight when i removed my glasses i actually have pretty good eyesight I still can read and im almost on my 3rd month not wearing glasses and im pretty improving
My myopia is getting worse and my glasses is just making me sick
It has been three months since I stopped wearing my glasses. I didn't put them on, not even once. The reason is I want to restore my eyesight.
Recently, I went for eye check-up. My eye sight has improved slightly from - 2.75 to - 2.25.
Any update ?
Any update?
The only time you should put them aside is when you can already see well up-close.
i'd say when ur at -2 to -3 diopter u can put em away
@@surf_machine I am -2.75 + 1.50 and -2.2 +1.50 when should I take them off?
@@oboy2.077 hi! I'm at around -4.5 diopters (according to the centimeter chart) but my glasses have lower prescription, objects far away are slightly blurry. I stopped wearing glasses at home due to the pandemic and managed with close up screen work fine, but my prescription probably increased as at one point I started wearing glasses for close up work (I think axial elongation occurred). Since I realised that happened, I stopped wearing glasses again. I'm still at home most of the time, what would you recommend doing? I wear my glasses only when I watch the television.... Should I wear my glasses for when I'm travelling in a car, looking outside etc? I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LONG REPLY I'M STILL A LITTLE CONFUSED
@@oboy2.077 Yes, when I go for walks I wear my glasses (far objects are still somewhat blurry), I don't necessarily use my glasses at home since I know where everything is haha! I'm actually unsure of what my current prescription is... according to the centimeter measurements my right eye is -4.5 and left eye is around -5. I work up close quite alot (studying, classes etc)... and I did the 7 day guide and am a little unsure on how to proceed. I try to look afar after doing up close work for a long time, I look far away (about 10-15 feet away without my glasses, would you recommend doing this with or without my glasses?). I'M SO SORRY I'M WRITING SO MUCH
@@oboy2.077 Due to the covid situation I can't go to the doctor to officially see what prescription my eyes have at the moment, the last time I visited the doctor was about three years ago... If my eyes do get better how would you recommend adjusting my glasses? Will I understand my eyes have improved when I can see crystal clear with my current glasses?
I’m at -1.25 which already pretty low myopia. I’ve stopped wearing my glasses cold turkey and I keep having flashes of perfect crystal clear vision and it’s happening more and more frequently
Krishal Pandey I’ve started plus lens therapy about a month ago as well, working very well for me. I’m close to perfect vision now. The other day my roommate (who has naturally perfect eyesight) was surprised when I was able to read fine print on a shop door from across the street without glasses or contacts
Did you reduce your prescription little by little, or did you just stop wearing your glasses as much?
@@mustardbeard170 just stopped wearing glasses. My prescription was already so small that dropping wouldn’t do much. My vision with and without glasses was never drastically different. Prescription dropping is for people with more severe nearsightedness
@@joystick396 I'm at -1.25 too but without glasses I can't see a licence plate at 20m unless doing active focus. Don't understand how you could say wearing them made no difference at that diopter
@@thestuff4321 didn’t say there’s no difference, there’s little difference. I only notice it when I look away at objects at large distances (over 100ft or 30m) it becomes slightly fuzzy. Also found out I’m over prescribed, my eyes are better than -1.25 I had another eye clinic tell me I’m actually around -0.75
If one keep wearing glasses.. the muscle strain will be permanent and further increase
Yea I wear glasses 24/7 now I stopped wearing them but I use them for outside activities
but diopters will reduce gradually that's not bad idea
@@tkhankhoje39 it won't
@@HeistTime be natural no glasses
@@tkhankhoje39 How? Do you you know how eyes adjust focus when your lens are not working well..
I didn't wear glasses for few months and my vision improved so I don't totally agree. Also myopia is worsened by wearing glasses, you also talked about glasses induced myopia, so you seem to be contradicting yourself. You can do AF short distance so you don't necessarily need glasses to do AF if that's the reason for wearing glasses in the first place
Wow for making it through that cringe fest of my early video. 😉 And yes you can improve the hard way, as long as the stimulus is there. But why give up good vision while doing it?
@@endmyopia sorry for sounding like a critic. You can tell I enjoy your videos. I will finish watching all your videos soon, hopefully I will learn. I am just a critical person but I must also be flexible and accepting. I know if I don't follow your advice I will suffer
Completely agree.
You didn t really answer the question.
I don’t agree. I wore glasses before and my eyesight got worse & worse every year to the point I could barely see without my glasses. I got LASIK & I was 20/20 after. 10 years later, my myopia came back. I think what I need is to learn to relax my eyes. I feel that my vision gets better once that’s achieved.
Lasik may give you 20/20 but by doing horrible things to your eye
I stopped wearing glasses and my vision was bad and my head started to hurt
Great job! This is essential information and you are the only one providing it. Thank you!
+MICHAEL KRAMER Thanks Mike!
That's not true. My mother don't wear glasses despite having -1.5 in both eyes since as a kid. She even told me the blurriness heals in time. She drives at night without glasses
If i keep wearing glasses. it will screw my eyes even more.....
not wearing glasses would be like lifting the heaviest weight in a gym.
impossible
1) pinhole glasses - scam.
2) bates method - scam
3) eye exercises - scam.
4) learning and practicing the correct eye habits over a period of 2 years - a realistic improvement in eyesight and myopia
He has listed the habits and so has Todd Becker on their websites.
Where did you read you need lower prescription glasses ?
It's certainly not the main habit.
Todd Becker has also written about the correct eye habits. They both have good information.
@@jorrgfromage9929 please tell that correct eye habits........
Please please please......
Just discovered your channel. Starting my journey to improved eye health & vision. Started reading a book by Meir Schneider. Started to do exercises. My right eye muscles started to twitch sometimes (intermittent) just as I'm wanting to improve my eyesight. How annoying. Pretty sure it will resolve itself. Anyways, will be learning & watching your videos. It's a good video.
Update?
Thanks! This gives an explanation to something that I observed myself going completely without glasses the past year +. I was trying to explain to a friend that instead of things gradually becoming blurry into the distance, it seemed more that there was a clear zone that abruptly ends and didn't know why or if that was normal or not. It's kinda neat to have an explanation/confirmation of what I was experiencing. While I'm now learning that it wasn't so great to just go without glasses (I was determined and willing to sacrifice though most people thought I was completely nuts. :P), I think it's still been a helpful experience in a small way. If I can put up with "living in the blur", I think the rest of your program will be easier in comparison and it has already given me some of the consciousness that you talk about of what's going on with my eyes like noticing when I'm seeing better/straining etc. Excited now to really have a clearer plan for improvement and know what to expect!
I do make somany exercises and after wearing glasses It feels like i have lost what have i done
It happens same with me
Thanks for making these videos, Jake!
Hey jake, thanks for giving back my eye! 😍😍😍
I dont understand why to wear less power? It causes headache
Very helpful. As always very informational and easy to understand. Thank you for everything you do Jake.
+Paul Von Tersch All credit to the no-expenses-spared special effects. ;-)
Hey, bud, I have a question for like when I am at work. I work in a foundry 8 hours a day six days a week so should I just wear a reduced prescription all day while at work or what?
Too late bro...
I stop using glasses like 5 month ago and now I'm seen better and better to the point I might not need glasses if I keep training my eyes this way.
It wasn't even possible for me to read chat and eyes where just getting worst over the years like everyone else pushing 40, but now I'm slowly reverting this procces.
Even if I go back to my glasses I see tons better but at this point ain't helping as I need a new prescription and I have no money to get a new every 2 month as progress continues.
Big flaw about natural eye correction is not focusing on reshaping your eyes, people talk about side movement and active focus but the problem is more neurological rather than muscular.
Been with endmyopia for about 3 months now, managed to drop my astigmatism and then my myopia by a diopter. Still building those habits though, not quite habitual.
+WakeN' Blake Habits, super key. Remember, a diopter a year ... it's auto pilot easy if you've got habits.
Blake Slack any updates?
Did you reduce your prescription slowly or did you stop wearing glasses as much?
Someone who already reverted their vision please tell me how to do it. I'm sick of reading articles and watching videos explaining how my eye and myopia works. I just want to know what I should do now.
#readingsucksballs
The whole world is full of truths and non-truths. That is not limited to the internet. In fact, the internet allows for more in depth research. If one doctor gives me bad advice and likely every single adult at some point will or has gotten bad advice from a doctor, and that is the scope of my research, that is not good. In fact, I have had many doctors talk negatively about people to do any medical research on the internet. Internet research saved my wife's foot. After a fall, she got an x-ray and they said there was no fracture, so she should walk on it. It was very painful. She called them and they repeated their suggestion. She did further research and came to the conclusion that it might be broken and if she were to walk on it, it could do permanent damage. The earliest appointment she could get with a different doctor was a month away. Based on her research, she decided to NOT walk on it. The second x-ray showed a fracture and the doctor told her that if she were to walk on it before it heals, she could cause permanent damage.
Jake,I have -1.5 and 2.0 in my eyes and I hate wearing glasses..what should I do?help me🤧
I have a cousin who has refuses to wear her corrective lenses whether it be glasses or contact lenses. She has needed them since 2016, but she has not worn them since she first got them because according to her, she does not like to put things over her eyes. That is an attitude you can't have if you have poor vision. It is something you can't take lightly because your eyes and your head are going to be in a lot of pain. The side effects are not worth it, and that attitude has to change when she is going to start driving. For people who have poor vision and do not like to wear their corrective lenses and refuse to wear them, suck it up. You can't just choose not to wear them when you need them. You'll make your eyes work harder, it will lead to negative side effects, and if your vision prescription changes over time, that is just going to make the side effects worse. Don't be a fool and just wear your glasses or your contact lenses whether you like it or not.
No
@@centralintelligenceagency9003 have fun being stubborn and blind.
@@ethane-dawgwenger4207 Enjoy your corneal abrasion / paying several hundreds of dollars for polycarbonate lenses that magically attract dirt and fats and turn into opaque scratch spiderwebs within two years no matter how much you baby them. Stopping wearing my glasses has eliminated a lot of my headaches because my eyes can actually relax now.
Also "blind" is saying a lot, I got above -3 diopters in both eyes with some astigmatism and I can easily see everything I need to. Yes, that includes road signs on the highway and pedestrians in the dark. Hell, my night vision has improved while driving because I don't get the whole wall of white covering 60% of my visual field every time an SUV with factory LED photodisintegrator headlights passes me anymore.
Is every razor sharp? Hell no, but compared to the alternative, which is seeing a desaturated, warped version of reality through overpriced pieces of plastic that are fragile as a butterfly, I honest to God do not mind.
@@ethane-dawgwenger4207 Also, my vision doesn't drop to LEGALLY BLIND in rain, fog, snow, and when moving from the cold to a warm room.
@centralintelligenceagency9003 congratulations!
I'm legally blind, and I sometimes take off my glasses but taking them off for too long makes my eyes go tired and it created this weird sort of goo come out my eyes.
Hi Jake, I've just read your Myopia: A misunderstood symptom, and it's probably the best explanation for the causes of myopia there is on the Internet.
Basically what you are saying is that myopia comes about in two stages.
The first stage that happens is pseudo myopia (the focusing muscle spasm that locks the muscle in place).
The second stage progressive myopia, that is when people then deploy lenses to compensate for the failure of the uncooperative muscle thus resulting in clear vision for distant objects. However this use of lenses is an artificial stimulant to the eye. In response to this artificial stimulant of the lens, the eye lengthens and unfortunately continues to do so. After some time, the eye has lengthened such that the lens is not able to assist in focussing light on the retina. The lens can only bring focus at a point in front of the retina. So people get a new lens to focus light on the new position of the retina that is further back due to the lengthened eyeball. The new lens then unfortunately provides a new stimulant for the eyeball to start lengthening again. And the process repeats itself.
What you are saying is that the method to reversing myopia is to progressively reduce the quantity of stimulant, which means reducing the strength of the lenses so the eyeball can shorten in length by itself, up to an ideal length such that the focussing muscle (which should also be trained to relax at the same time) can start working again properly as advertised.
I think that's what you are saying.
+Dannykhc It is. At least it's the most plausible explanation I was able to find. Also look up hyperopic defocus on Google Scholar, various interesting studies discussing axial length inducing stimulus. (wearing distance correction while focused up close)
Would it be safe to assume that once the eyeball returns to its default length by sustained use of progressively weaker lenses, then, the factor of progressive myopia is removed from the equation?
As such that leaves only the factor of pseudomyopia to be considered? If only pseudomyopia is all that remains, that means the ability to focus on distant objects would solely depend on whether the focusing muscle is relaxed or strained.
It seems to me then that wearing minus lenses will help you improve up to a certain point, that is shorten the eyeball. From then on the ability to focus would depend solely on whether your focusing muscle is working properly to flatten or fatten the lens as required.
This is an eureka moment for me and I'm going to tell (read lecture) my kids on this tonight.
Many thanks, Jake.
I think I can help that question, it depends on your time in near work. If you are spending a majority of the time in distance, over time your ciliary muscle (Muscle which shapes the crystalline lens for near focus) will become more relaxed and begin to function properly again, the rate and extent of this is dependant upon many factors keep in mind. ciliary spasm is one of the first things to go when you start maintaining good vision habits again, so it isn't really a case of your eyes becoming less myopic and then still having a cilliary spasm. Studies have proven emmetropic subjects get NITM just as much ass myopic subjects.
Also Jake isn't a scientist or an optometrist and he kind of figured this out backward to the way science does. Rather than coming up with a theory and then trying to scientifically test a certain method, he just tried basically everything found something that worked, reversed myopia in other people friends etc and THEN tried to explain what happened using science
My prescription glasses are too strong and I hate wearing these really strong glasses because it gives me headaches and I don’t need them all the time and one time I broke my glasses and I had to wait for 2 weeks and my eye sight got a lot better even the opititions said then I started wearing my glasses again and my eyes got worse
I use my lens all day bt day by day my eyes are becoming poor it increases from 3.25 to 4.00 in some few month pls pls help me how to get relief from this glass pls
hey man I don't want to wear glasses. because I am a soccer player and my number is -1.50 and I also do swimming. I am a sports person. what should I do????
Can see clearly without them (during the games)? if yes, then you don't need to wear them. Pretty much you should only wear your glasses when you need them.
contacts lenses
Searth for other videos of him and the blog, endmyopia.org
Okay. I am in the same position as you and I think you should wear contacts. They don't make you look "silly" and they still let you see well. If you can see I don't think you should wear anything during swimming.
Matthew Arvin if you dont necessarily want to wear glasses since they may fall, then try to get prescription goggles- wherein they have the grade and you may see clearly. i hope that helps!
Hi sir,I would like to know whether wearing my glasses (having myopia) for reading books near by,that I can see without it.Help me
So if you wear a -4.00 to drive and function outside, maybe it'd be a good idea to have a pair of glasses that are -2.75 to function in the house?
I have such glasses for home. I live in a small apartment, and everything I see at home is closer than 20 feet, so I have no need in full strength glasses to wash my dishes or cook or clean.
Hi Jake, I'm glad I stumbled across this video which some how explains a concern I was having.
Basically I just got my first prescription glasses, OD -1.25 OS -2.50 and it's been great so far other than wearing them for computer use because I feel like it's too strong when I'm looking at my computer monitor, now I found my dad's extra pair and they seem to work good for computer use but I think it should be a little stronger, just a bit. I've read that there's no problem using someone else's.
Is that right, what do you think?
Don't use your myopia glasses for looking close up, except your myopia is highier than 2 diopter i think. If you can see the screen clearly without glasses or with just a little bit blur, don't wear glasses for it.
Why not?
Love it! Thank you for your time
Hello and thank you for the video again. This is all very helpful.
I am still looking for where do you write or say, up to what degree of visual acuity ideally new normalized glasses should allow one to see?
i.e. Maybe up to 20/40 so one can drive but still have some distant blur to be able to practice active focus to improve vision?
Or rather 20/50 or less (20/60) for those who don't drive for example, so there is a closer blur to practice active focus and have more room for improvement until the next new normalized?
Is there a recommended number for that? Or is i justt up to each person to decide as to how far they want/need their blur horizon to be?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Jake, I've tested my eyesight through the centimetre calculator on the website and according to it I should be wearing lenses with around 2.0 D and I'm currently wearing glasses with 1.0/1.25 D. Should I get a higher prescription or is this fine to get my vision back on track?
Hey I'm wearing glasses for a month now and idk why but when I take them of I feel like my eysight is so much worse that it was,but my doctor told me that maybe I can take them off if my eyesight gets better ..is that possible?
This is brilliant... Jake, any chance to listen to you talking about PD? (I've read your blog post btw); I'm going to start the journey soon, still I need to clear up some things... like glasses for intermediate distance (pc work) ... should I consider my PD distance or PD reading, or it doesn't matter at all :) I have -3.50/4.50 btw
Technically PD is lower for close-up but in most cases just using distance PD is perfectly ok.
Yep thanks! I have been doing massive reading in the last two months; actually I'm very excited about this, I can tell already that I see things "sharper".
I can stikk see without glasses! My vision doesn't go blurry a lot
I am short sighted but my job only requires me to me able to see a computer screen in front on me. I have no problem seeing the screen. Do I need to wear my prescription?
Yep really greta info Jake! I wear personally -4.75 and -7.75 with astigmatism on long distance. I already signed to your program and there are lots of things which i see quite useful. Thanks so much!
Can u list out the structure in a words ..how u started doing this in a steps ?? I really need this to understand...😢
I hate my glasses they fix my vision far away but blur my vision up close I can't win I'd rather be able to read than to see far away
Sir I had a power of -6.00 but for 1 year I didn't get my checkup and it rose to -8.00, sir what to do?
Thanks looking forward to more videos
By this logic, your eyesight should be improving if your prescription increases and you retain the old prescription.
+Shawn Singh Not quite. Improving anything about your biology requires stimulus. ;)
*cough* active focus *cough*
I just joined few weeks ago and learning about endmyopia. My 9 years old daughter recently got new prescription for -3.75. One year ago it was only -2.25. She doesn’t complain on poor vision when wearing old glasses. Does it mean we should not be getting glasses with new prescription?
She loves to be outside, but has been wearing glasses most of the time. I guess this might be the reason for worsening vision?
no I Dont think so, I it could be something in her eyes you have to check out
The power of christ compells you!
Hi Jake, I have -0.5 prescription for my both eyes, so would it be okay for me to use glasses only when I have to read or see a bit far... Like reading board in the classes... Or shall I be wearing it all the time, even when I am just walking on the street or reading a book at home. Please advice.
Did ure eyes got better ?
If comes headache..
So is it better to wear glasses that give you almost perfect vision rather than no glasses?
Optometrist said i need to wear my glasses at all time. +1.00 both OD and OS. Do I really need it?
I have like -19 vision I never wear my glasses and my vision has never been better
Would not wearing glasses prevent my eyes from getting better?
@Jakesteiner I lost my glasses. Like literally I was driving with my glasses then I made a delivery, but when I got in my car I didn't have my glasses. Where do you go to get glasses that have a weaker perscription?
Hi, my eye power is -2 in the left and -1.75 in the right. I feel uncomfortable by wearing my glasses all the time. I only wear it when I am watching any kind of screen like mobile phones or while reading. Will my eyesight get worse if I don’t wear my glasses all the time ? Pls help!
Same even i need help
I have -0.25 myopia though, so not wearing glasses is fine right?
Thanks for the video , very informative , i have a power of plus 1 , my doc has advised me to wear the glasses all the time , But my vision without the glasses is as good as with the glasses , and i feel more comfortable without the glasses .. in my case do i really have to wear glasses?? i work on my computer for 6 to 8 hours a day but i take frequent breaks and also follow the 20-20 rule
Hey nice to hear you in RUclips. I've stopped wearing glasses for long time. My power was 3.25 and still I'm in trouble. I really wanna get rid of this plz tell in easy words so I will be able to remove my glasses.
I’m still blind without them .
first of all thanks for ur commitment Jake! i just started with my journey. i have -3.00 on both eyes, do u think i can do it without any glasses with reduced diopetres? i have the feeling i could. or should i start with -2.00 or -2.50? thank you :)
*i can see my screen already almost cleary, just a tiny little bit of blurring.
My friend tells me I should always wears my glasses. But I don't need because I'm at home....
What's the error between different optometry machines? If it's a different brand or a different method of measurement or a different light in the room, will it influence the number of diopters? Also, how precise are they? Did anyone try to check their vision in different optometry offices on the same day?
The only precise way is you trying on different diopters in real world scenarios. :)
Do I wear my glasses all the time or only when I need them
Just a 20/20 guy passing by
lucky bitch
lol
ApplicationBot screw yuh
Can we swap?
Hey, do any other myopes find themselves much less sharp mentally when not wearing glasses? Jake, are there any studies on this?
Not that I know of, about studies.
I can relate to this too much
I have -0.5 cyl -0.5sph in right and -0.5sph in left. I do not use glasses. Due to very low number in left. Left eye work more than right. So i have decided that i sould have glasses with -0.5cyl in right and no number or simple glass on left. If I need to drive at night, I will wear 6/6 vision glasses.
last year i went to optometrist and he told me i have -5,25 both eyes, while for me with my -5 lenses I already see and have even headache too, reason why since years I wear contact lenses at -4.75 and when I use computer I guess I use glasses -2 . So I would just like to know, how can I improve and stop to wear -5 glasses and maybe gain some diopters back? am i doing it right?
Is it bad that I only wear my glasses when I need them. Like when I'm watching a movie or when I'm looking at the board in class. I barely use my glasses, is it bad?
not really
Hi.I have -5 D on right eye and -3D on left eye.I can study without glasses..Should I stop wearing glasses during studying or close work?
Yes
What to do about astigmatism then?? Should i keep it, make it smaller? Should i add some sph and do less cyl? It is confusing af about astigmatism. It is easy with just myopia. You put 0,25 less and you are good to go...
how about dial vision adjustable lens eye glasses are they good for gradually reducing
What do I do in cases where I can’t get lowered description glasses and can’t order online?
No one will be able to wear a reduced Rx without the cooperation of an optometrist. Glasses require a prescription.
+Donald Lasher Thankfully yes. Imagine we could just buy clear pieces of curved plastic without professional supervision. It'd be anarchy in the streets.
Lmao have you heard of Zenni
you know you can order glasses online now, just type in your prescription and you get much better deals than from your local optometrist
Yeah. We should be able to buy Prozac, Viagra and Rx antibiotics without an Rx too. You probably can if you find the right (illegal) site on line.
so how should i improve my eyesight? none of your videos actually give any tips
None of them! 🤔🙄🤐
@@endmyopia not trying to be rude it’s just that i’ve watched 5 already and can’t figure out what im supposed to do. any chance you could help me in the comments?

So using that example of the -4 person, what glasses should he wear if he was just looking at a computer screen? Or looking at a TV screen? Should he just get glasses good enough for those activities?
+Connection Present Depends on the person. Probably around -2.50.
+Connection Present
here is what i think. the goal is not to go without glasses.
the goal is only use strength necessary for the activity, and slightly print push all the time.
so for close up work , no glasses.
walking around the house, a -1.
walking down the street, a -2.
climbing mountains and star gazing, a full -4 may be appropriate.
not wearing glasses creates too much strain.
you only need -4 to see 20 feet away.
but to see 10 feet away, a -4 would be harmful to your eyesight.
if you are near sighted, Im wondering why you should need any glasses at all for close up work???
because for some people the computer screen will be beyond the blur horizo or diopter bubble
One question... the eye charts that you've given in your website.. should I print then on an A4 sized paper? I mean isnt it too small?
Thank you very much. Was really helpful. Understanding the bubble makes me reconsider how much underprescription I want for my personal daily activities. Guess I'll have to experiment.
My eyes are around -5.5 btw.
Pouya Orandi Hi, can you please share your progress, I am trying for active focus on fonts but I can't see clearer after I blinked, I have blinked many times but I just can't see clearer........
@@desmondchan5622 desmond your eyes got better ? What did u do :)
any help would be much appreciated! i have always had an equal prescription in both Left and right eye. I originally began this journey 2 weeks ago with a -5.75 sph -0.50 cyl axis 180. definitely over prescribed since i can see 20/15 with a -5.25 today. I am noticing now that my left eye is not quite the same as my right eye. it may need a -5.25 while my right would work with a -5.00 giving me a 20/40 to help in lessening my myopia. should i cover my right eye sometimes to help make my left eye equal and keep prescription the same. Im such a newbie, and i have 5 little children to distract me!! any help would be great!!
I hope you have discovered and read up on equalizing. Your reply is 4 years old. Where are you now as far as your numbers go?
But what do you do when the opticians won't let you buy lower prescriptions? :(
Money is urs lol not the opticians 😂
What if im using my phone? Should i take off my glasses or keep wearing them?
Off
But does not wearing your glasses worsens ur vision in the long term or just temporary
Why do you have to go round and round can't you just answer questions directly
I don’t write children’s books either. Just not my forte. 🤷♂️
@@endmyopia I really appreciate your work, I really do; but this kind of approach is really cumbersome and difficult to understand especially for newbies.

sir i just gone a reduce glasses of -1.5 to -1.25 should i
I have a fairly low prescription (R -1.8; L -1.6) and I don't really need to wear my glasses to do many things. I can still watch TV and read the whiteboard from the back of a classroom, but there's a slight blur. Am I doing something wrong by just watching without my glasses? I also don't have the advantage of using past prescriptions because I got glasses in January (I want to get rid of the myopia as soon as possible:D).
As long as you practice active focus, got some blue challenge that you put to use, all good.
So I should wear glasses only when I need them and not all the time???
what if,for a person with -3 lens found a way
to relax his eye muscles but he cannot retain his elongated eye like that of a normal once eyes
Does it harm your eye if you use your maximum degree? Because when I wear my maximum degree, my head starts getting dizzy.
Hi Jake, can you improve your eye sight when you get headaches from glasses and without?
If glasses give you headaches, they're quite possibly not the right diopters.
@@endmyopia i have used your calculator and it saids that the prescription is correct but those glasses do give me a little blur. I only use them when i'm driving. L -1.50 R -2.00
In my situation it is not possible, I have bought from most of the eyewear glasses stores and changed like 4 or 5 eye doctors and they keep prescribing me glasses that m akes me feel bad. It has led to me a serie problems like headache and cross eye, it's not even like the light cross eye problems only appears on your aesthetic but im in pain because my is turning so Inward its touching my nose, there is some part of my eye I'm not sure... if it's called cornea ... the transparent membrane above the white is already squeezed up into a little between my pupil and my nose, and the outside of my eye was pull stretched and it appears so lots of red lines, and now when I wear glasses I have double vision and the shapes are distorted, I kept running between ophthalmologist offices and Hospital, I have apply to the hospital and changed the eye doctor for at least two or three times and every time I went back they told me my eyes are totally fine, it's just my glasses power that are not correct for me, and every time when they are done touching my eyes they will prescribe something higher, I don't understand why they gave 5.5 in one eye and 6.5 in the other eye. I've checked out a few simulators myopia simulators videos on RUclips and on the internet. My situation is topmost four-point something. This is probably why I have my headaches my eye muscles got stuck. 3 days ago I took off my glasses completely and have not worn them since then, I felt the hardened parts of my eyes defrost, when I wore my glasses my up some parts of my eye muscles feels something Harden near my lashes, I'm not sure about the situation now...
Jake will wearing your glasses more will it damage your eyes even more please help. Also I'm a kid and I wear glasses will it damage my eyes when I get older if I keep wearing them?
