Because YOU didn't, Jake. You claim to encourage your community to figure out things for themselves and spend a good deal of time condescending to them about how they shouldn't want step-by-step guides because that makes them "sheep" and they need to treat this as a college course, when the reality is that your EndMyopia material is virtually incomprehensible without guidance. Of course, there's a difference between taking a class with a professor vs. getting a textbook and piecing everything together yourself. But your free material is not analogous to a textbook, it's rather like if you cut up the textbook, stapled random pages together, rearranged the order, and added superfluous fluff. Your KZread clips and articles have so little information that my time is wasted for a good 70% of the time I'm on EndMyopia stuff. There is no starting point, there's about 30 seconds of useful content per video, you send people on endless redirects, etc. You want people to pay you, I get it. But stop gaslighting your community, telling them that they're sheep, they're lazy, and they have attitude problems, when in reality, you're just producing incomprehensible garbage.

Literally none of the countless eye doctors I saw told me that I don't need to wear my myopia glasses for close up work. I ended up having lots of eye strains and floaters after using myopia glasses for close up work (and computer works). Unbelievable! And all eye doctors I saw are very impatient and not willing to work with you. They just want to write prescription and get you out of their office. If you ask to adjust, they look at you like a crazy person for not just being happy with their first prescription. Thank you for this video.

I have been saying this since forever though and my point proves your point as well. When I was young I use to play allot of video games and watch TV, I needed glasses, then when I was a teen i stopped watching tv and playing games opting to listen to music and go out with friends, come my 3 year eye exam I no longer needed glasses and my vision was perfect to which my optician claimed it was down to wearing my glasses, upon me telling her I never wore them she then went on to tell me that my eyesight wasn't prefect and I should continue wearing my glasses when watching tv or reading(ironic 360 she did, still makes me laugh).. Now as an adult I spend more time inside my house and I play/type on a 60 inch tv that is an arm length away, yep I need glasses again, but ironically enough getting a new job and being away from the screen for the majority of the day i'm noticing an improvement in my vision again..

13:00 Low Myopia, is when you can read most of the letters on the 20/50 line, both eyes open, over several days. It is always critical that you verify this, objectively. Check this, to find the minum minus power to, "just clear", the 20/30 Line. It will probably be about -1.0 diopters. (I gave up on OD measurements, a long time ago.)

This deserves millions of views

So basically you get weaker glasses and your eyes adapt and the stuff you do helps them adapt and real myopia is actaully very rare to get well i think I get it also you made the most sense out of it all thx u very much u deserve more subs and I sub u cuz ur epic.

Hi! I would like to thank you so much for this video since you made every concept much clearer to me. I came across endmyopia in 2019 after I was sent to the optometrist in August 2018 because my right eye was itchy. I was told I was 2.0 on my right eye and 1.00 on my left eye. Later I started having migraines and I felt I had been sent glasses with overprescription. Fast forward to February 2019 and I discovered that my vision was very blurry when trying to check the whiteboard of a college classroom, even with the lense on. Later on, I got a new eye exam which said that I was 1.25 on both eyes even though I have better vision on my right eye. My question is, how do I find an optometrist that will provide me with differentials and glasses with less diopters? here in Colombia they seem to always make you buy the glasses they formulate and only those.

Great video. Thanks for making it

I have no words for this great video. God may give you all what you want.

Wow, that was one of the best videos surrounding myopia i've ever seen. just gonna watch the video and ask questions as I go. feel free to answer any that you know something about, would appreciate some clarification/assistance. 1. will this improve astigmatism as well? 2. When I went to the eye doctor after a 3 year gap they told me that my prescription was much worse than before, yet I can still see 20/20 clearly with my glasses I got in 2019. does this mean I was overprescribed? 3. how much does dry eye and eye strain affect your vision? Before I started getting these regularly, I did not remember my vision being this bad until these became issues for me 4. Do eye drops help at all? I've noticed my vision is better when I use these regularly, And have even had "clear flashes" shortly after using them. Once again thanks for the information, very well put together video.

Love the video!! It's probably the best introduction video to Endmyopia I've seen so far! But I would like to add that you failed to mention the importance of dominant eye vs non-dominant eye. If you think about it, there's really no need for the glasses to have different diopters for different eyes. Like I just got my new pair of glasses today, they are normalized, but they have the same diopters on both lenses even though I have different diopters in each eye because one eye will always be more dominant than the other. So it's more comfortable and better for both lenses to be the same so the eye can easily adapt to the negative stimulus. If one lense has one diopter and another lense has another diopter, everything gets all messed up and the brain starts becoming stressed from not knowing which eye should be the dominant one. You get what I mean?

@NottNott

3 жыл бұрын

Glad you liked it. I don't think it's particularly important - these four main things are things I need to do every day to be successful. Whether an eye is dominant hasn't made a big difference in my approach to vision improvement admittedly, it might explain how things got a certain way with myopia though, so more of a progression topic than for improvement.

(I can see my screen about 2 cm further, but can't see a difference with distance, yet) I was at -3.75 last year at night at this yearly night festival, and was astonished when I was seeing more clear (with the -3.5 current full correction) than I was with the -3.75 last year. I only use the -3.5 at night because It's so sharp in the day, that I can't active focus. Look forward to seeing perfectly sharp vision at night with -3.25 three or four months from now

Hello nottnott, so I’m about to turn 16 (still in the growing age) and I’ve -4.00 in my left eye and -4.50 in my right eye. I really understand the concept if this video and was just wondering if you can still do these steps to improve your eyesight at my age? Also, is it true that spending more time outdoors with sunlight (without glasses) is of any help to reduce the progression of Myopia? I’ve recently managed my screen time to when I absolutely need to use it or if it’s for entertainment. Thank you.

I read the Bates method book in the 1960's. I have done the exercises on and off ever since. I do the exercises faithfully for a while and then slack off because of lack of improvement. I always read and do very close work without glasses. For mid range, like looking at a magazine, my vision is blurry with or without glasses 🕶️. I have a very strong prescription with astigmatism. I have noticed over the last 20 or 30 years that when i get new glasses, the prescription seems wrong. A lack of clarity and sometimes distortions. I think the clarity issue is due to plastic lenses, as opposed to glass. An eye doctor told me the distortions were do to the correction for my astigmatism and I just wasn't used to the right way of seeing. I haven't been to an optometrist in about 10+ years still wearing my 10+ year old pair.

Do we have to do distance vision with normalize glasses or without them?

its my first time having a prescription glasses and i have -1.25 and -1.0 grade and it feels good seeing things more clearly than it was before but everytime i took my glasses off i felt that my vision became blurry up close compared to not wearing it at all which somehow blurried far away things is it normal to have blurry vision when taking it off??

i know this is for myopia but what cause farsightedness?

I just discovered this video a few days ago and I must have rewatched this video about 10 times already. It is a great comprehensive summary of Jake's approach to vision improvement. I think I am going to do more reading on the endmyopia website and finish reading the daily e-mails. I think I will order some normalized and differential glasses in the next week or so. Luckily, I only have mild myopia --1.75 (L) and -2.00 (R) .... but I have -1.00 Astigmatism in the left eye. I am eventually going to buy normalized for daily life, going outside and differentials for PC work only and perhaps add blue light filters. Also, no glasses for using my phone and reading books Then,, I will start to reduce the lens correction incrementally over the months/years. I am going to measure my blur horizon from how I normally sit in front of my PC, so I can accurately dial in those differential lenses and measure my progress. Great content, brother.

Hey, thank you so much for this guide, it was super clear! I know the rule for buying normalized is 0.25 diopters below your "actual" prescription, but how do really know your actual prescription? I went to the optometrist a week ago and the diopters she gave me were a different eye ratio than the centimeter measurements I have been doing. And even the centimeters, as you know, vary so much throughout the day and throughout the week. It seems like the only real solution to finding the right pair of normalized is opening your wallet and doing trial and error with different prescriptions until one pair feels right.

I think you’ll have to experiment a bit to see what works for you. You might actually want to try some mild plus prescription glasses for close up reading. (I’m just thinking ahead for myself if I get down to about your prescription). If it were as simple as just not wearing glasses I (and you too probably) never would have gotten near sighted in the first place after all.

Hi Knott, All beginnings are difficult. I personally think that a cylinder measurements is totally NOT NECESSARY. I convert to SPHERICAL, and check them with my home Snellen. Will almost always measure 20/20 by doing that change. It makes recovery much easier.

You're looking good bro

How many hours of outside long-distance vision with AF should we get before we begin getting diminishing returns? Also, Do we need to take 20-second breaks every 20 minutes from using our computer?

Great video. More people should watch this to understand how myopia progresses. I wish I knew about it growing up. Is there any actual evidence that eyes can get shorter in adulthood?

Many years ago when I first noticed my vision was slightly blurry, I didn’t want to get glasses because I didn’t want to look like a nerd. A couple years later I caved in and got glasses because my vision had gotten a lot worse. My first pair of glasses was -2.25 and -2.75. Since I waited so long before getting glasses, does that mean ciliary spasm is the reason why my eyes were -2.25 and -2.75? Or is it possible to have axial elongation before wearing glasses? I’m just wondering why my prescription was so high when I hadn’t even worn glasses yet.

That sounds like a similar prescription (pretty sure I was in the -2 range) to what I got back in 2016 (I was about 12) and now I am almost 20. 2 years ago, I went to the eye doctor to have my eyes checked, and I had -3.5. Remember, this was 2 years ago. So I just started this journey. And (edit, I have already went .25 diopters less than my prescribed) so now, I have -3.25 in both eyes. (At least my vision didn’t get that much worse over the years)

Hi. Can anyone give me some advice please how to proceed. I've just had an eyesight test done due to my eyesight deteriorating over the past few months. 6 months ago my prescription was L=-2.25 sph,+2.25 cyl, 90 axis R= -1.25 sph, +1.25 cyl, 15 axis with +2.00 reading glasses. My new prescription is L= 3.25 sph,+2.75 cyl, 95 axis R= -2.00 sph,+1.25 cyl, 95 axis. I struggle to see close up since having lasik 20 years ago so I have to use my +2.00 reading glasses . I never wore glasses for other day to day activities just contact lenses once a week for golf. Shall I continue to use my +2.00 reading glasses or should I reduce the strength ? Before my eyes got worse I could manage active focus using individual eyes but not both together for some reason. I cant understand why my eyes have deteriorated so fast. Thanks

Brother i have a question , i can clear something for exmpl a text by closing my eyes in half like when you are sleepy does that count as active focus?!

@NottNott I'm 17. my prescription is -6.75 both eyes but after measuring I think my doctor over prescribed me with -0.25 more because I could see perfectly at 15.5cm. Do you think -6.25 could be good normalized or -6 on the dot?

Hey man, congrats on all your gains! Quick question, I've had horrendous double vision for 6 months to the point where the ground is rising upwards with and without glasses. It is not due to CYL and it only began after starting endmyopia. I'm 99.9 percent sure it's due to a reduction in axial length and as a result my visual cortex doesn't know what's what. Other than staring at contrasty text/distant objects and recognising the ghost image and going up in correction, what would you recommend? I went from a -1.75 normalised to -2 to fix the issue but it hasn't helped all that much.

@@carminefalcone3069 You can do that, give it a try. I feel like it'd always come back, IDK, never bothered me enough. Also, eyesight improvement is different for everyone. Like I said, I'm just moving my head further back instead of reducing differentials currently. I will probably end up just reducing differentials when I feel like it and not overthinking it with a staggered reduction, personally. Differentials are no big deal IMO, getting the normalized reduction right is what's actually important.

@@NottNott Thanks for the reply. I was a bit confused about cylinder. How do you go about reducing that? If you have -2 with no cylinder, you'll need to get 8 pairs of glasses but with cylinder would you need 16 pairs, i.e. -2 with 0.5 CYL and -2 with no CYL for example?

@@carminefalcone3069 Reduce CYL alongside SPH, a bit of CYL one reduction, a bit of SPH next. It's not my speciality as I lucked out with below -1 CYL in both of my eyes when starting and basically don't have astigmatism, read more :D

Active focused could have been explained a bit more in depth though. I have very low myopia 0.75 and 0.5 I do not wear glasses at all except when driving at night or in low light conditions. Not sure what should I do improve my sight, only active focus?

Nott, To clarify, considering for those with high myopia, using normalized glasses and active focus outdoors for 2-3 hours will help in improving distance vision. (And reduce normalized as necessary) Then, using either no glasses or using differential for close up work on computer/phone with active focus will improve close up vision (And reduce differential strength or move the screen back further) However, with close up vision it is more clear on vision becoming clearer through measuring like you showed, however 1) When it comes to distance vision becoming clearer from using normalized outdoors for 2/3 hours with active focus, it is more difficult to determine when is the right time to get another reduced normalized pair of glasses since the outdoor varies from trees, license plates, signs, people, what do we do to determine when the right time it is to get another 2nd 3rd 4th 5th etc pair of normalized glasses?

You get a feel for it over time, cm measurements can be handy and just check your Snellen basically. Recommend reading more articles on endmyopia.org
