You all are paid people working for Jake....Thats how it seems

Always excited to see your videos Nottnott. I think taking the daily cm measurements has helped me to stay encouraged. I think my level of blur without glasses has improved but if I was not measuring daily then I wouldn't be able to see the steady improvement and might get discouraged. You can also watch the trends and discover that your vision doesn't always improve in a steady curve but sometimes takes jumps and plateaus.

Great video! I've been reading so much about how Jake says the End Myopia journey plays out and it is so helpful to be able to watch someone experience it, rather than just read Jake's words. Thanks for sharing how it's going and how things have evolved for you. So helpful!

It is a long time to 20/60. Keep on working on it!! We all hope for this success for you!!

The fact that you logged your journey is super helpful to those of us who have just started it. Gives us a sense of what to expect.

Great info here! Thanks. I think I'm at the point where my easy gain is over. Now starts for me the real hard part of myopia reduction. I keep your good video as a reminder to be aware of blur adaptation.

Beautiful eyes:) and of course great information

Excellent. Never quit.

A good starting point, can define your success.

Thank you man and thanks to youtube plateform for providing this info

What is the science behind the eye? Does it legnthen and shorten? Find the video here: Otis Brown: The Dynamic Eye Watch the blue eye change in both directions. This was always my personal question - as a scientific issue.

This happened to me... I really appreciate that you acknowledge this fact! I lied to myself for like a year... blur adaptation is no fun, but I’m back on track now.

Can you talk a bit about what you do regarding astigmatism? When you reduce your diopters, when do you consider changing the cylinders/axis? Thanks for all the videos.

I think the best way is look at the sunshine flows on the green plants while you are walking.

Re. computer work - some people use a diopter higher towards the plus side when they have to use for long periods and that's even approved by some opticians to reduce eye-strain, which seems sensible.

A great job. Made it to 20/30

@Nottnott what are your differentials? Do you wear differential level contacts and wear extra minus glasses for normalized?

Una pregunta , está bien reducir de acuerdo a lo que la maquinita con la que sacan tu prescripción te dice??? Si es buena idea redudcir .25 desde ahí??? O es mejor hacer la prueba manual, la prueba clásica, de ver con lente uno y lente dos con el optometrista...??? Está bien bajar los .25 a partir de lo que dice el refractómetro amigo???

Great video brother . I have a query will my eyes improve just by practising active focus and reducing my prescription i have a bit of astigmatism too how will it get cured?

Hey i want to ask! How to use outside time to improve eyesight

Great video i wish i could see it earlier😔. I have a question to you bro can i do active focus and do some close work like ( reading books) without glasses because I am comfortable with it in good lightning conditions . My current prescription is -3 with cyl -.75 on left eye and -2.75 on right plz help me bro🙏🙏 I am confused from a long time

I still dont have glasses but got -4.25 should i we at those glasses cause blur adaptation or not cause hyperopicdefocus

Hi, when i wear glasses outdoor for a walk, and after back home i can see that my vision a little bit decreses. So i think it's not good idea to wear always glasses (except close up work).

Hey bro, thanks for all your helpful videos. I discovered endmyopia about a month ago. At the time I had -3.00 in the left eye and -2.75 in the right eye. I didn't have any glasses with weaker prescriptions (other than my old ones) so I just reverted back to using them which had a strength of -1.75 and -1.5 diopters (I don't remember exactly). I wasn't aware that I had to use differentials which meant I used the weaker lens everyday both for looking at my laptop screen from about 60cm away and for long distance usage, practicing active focus whenever I can by looking out the window. I measured my eyesight using the Snellen chart on Jake's website and I can now see 20/25 with my -1.75 lens. However, I read on the blog that you're supposed to get a differential lens first and after 4 weeks use get your first reduced distance lens. I have found another pair of glasses lying around which allows me to see 20/40 on the snellen chart. For the time being, could I use the -1.75 lens for distance usage and the differential lens for close up? Can you please advise me on what to do now or if I am doing anything wrong?

I made a fairly big mistake in all of these videos as I've overestimated my improvments and I haven't updated on it - I'd say I'm about OS -4 and OD -5 now from -4.25 and -5.75.

Success is always nice. But, checking and passing the DMV test (20/70, and 20/40), defines your objective success. No OD will ever measure or help you. The minus lens destroys vision.

How do you explain people’s success with Bates method and Mark Warrens method? They both promote minimal glasses use and embracing the blur. I’m still learning and open to all methods that show success.

@NottNott

4 жыл бұрын

You can probably get success with less good methods. You have to look at the studies which show myopia is clearly a byproduct of axial elongation. If you can question how either of those methods addresses that cause, you're onto a winner. Bates method encourages eye exercises like palming, swinging, eye lunges and other stuff (never did it). Does this provide a reason for the eye to change its shape in line with clinical studies? Mark Warren says his method can induce clear flashes in people with myopia as high as -9. He says you don't need to wear glasses starting at -4, and myopia is 80% mental and not physical. Is that in line with clinical studies that clearly demonstrate a link between axial length and myopic blur? For the record, there are many studies showing axial change is possible, in either direction as well. I just follow the science. Mark does come across as a nice guy, but he lacks the two-decades long experience that Jake has had when it comes to tackling myopia, and the lack of detail comes across in his 'method', which is essentially endmyopia without details and Bates thrown in with added peripheral vision. I'm at odds to understand why people are so keen for him compared to a resource that has been around for much longer with a much larger pool of success reports and an emphasis on science. I reckon you can probably improve with either method however - you're just setting yourself up for a lot of pain and delay. When I wasn't wearing a good pair of normalised (glasses reduced just correctly with good stimulus of myopic defocus) it seemed to wipe out any results I could get, when I was reducing too quickly. If either method is telling you to embrace the blur, seriously be doubtful and question that, first hand experience over a long time tells me that's not going to help, measurements did not improve at all for that time period. Clinical blur adaptation is a real thing though, you can look that up for what you could expect instead. Of course. that's just my two cents, you're welcome to try whatever you like, and whatever you do you'll probably have a lot of fun doing it :D

@sherekhan53

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I’m drawn to aspects of Bates and Mark Warren’s teachings because they focus on relaxing the ciliary muscle and bringing more light into your eyes. Supposedly lenses do not allow light to penetrate into your eyes as much. light is supposed to help with the healing. I know Jake is all about the stimulus. This is where he diverges from the others. I’ll have to look into more of the research that Jake provides and continue trying to achieve the elusive active focus... over 1 month trying and have only experienced a slight focus a couple times.

I have -1.75 in both eyes will plus lenses help?

@neildoerdan2298

4 жыл бұрын

It depends how you use them. Pilots for example need 20 20 vision to be able to fly, so when their eyesight starts to go they often use plus lenses to help get it back by forcing the eye to think it needs to change shape faster to get back to the correct vision. At -1.75 you are slightly past that phase, but if you take into effect the over correction, that many opticians provide, you may only be at -1.25 or lower. If you were to follow the endmyopia adivce then just removing your glasses while outside and trying active focus may be enough to get back to 20 20. Note that the hardest part for most people who have got there, is the -1 back to 20 20. Please note that I am no expert and i only offer advice that I have come across which seems sensible. In my own journey using plus lenses to reduce contacts i wear for close up has created a close up issue that matches long sightedness/presbyopia. But I also have been doing far too much close up time recently (for last year) that has not helped the journey.
