Man please give me some tips... Me to want to trash my glasses with you

I live on Singapore. I was born here and have lived here my whole life. I am 16 with -8.75 on my left and -7.50 on my right. It is very COMMON to see someone my age or even younger with my eyesight. Astigmatism is also very prevalent here. Some of us can’t even see the traffic light in the morning when we are going to school. Most of us wear glasses for those 2 reasons above, even if we play sports a lot. Yet, we are meant to study all day with little time outside. Even during PE (in my case) we just stay inside the indoor sports hall to play sports. We get eye checks every single year, but it really doesn’t do much other than tell you you’re eye sight is bad. I’ve been using distance glasses in class and when using the computer without realising the harm of it. Now that i know what’s causing my myopia i’m excited to fix it. I’ve started my journey yesterday. However it’s going to be hard to convince any of the opticians in my area to help in this journey because they all like to give the highest degree possible to correct distance(even though we’re a concrete jungle, don’t even need distance glasses in the first place). I hope i can even -0.25 for both my eyes this year wearing my old glasses.

Great progress report- especially since he started at -7.00D.

If we have good eye habits then we're probably impacting our overall health of our bodies. The body is a whole thing and all the parts have impacts on the other parts. Being outside often can improve mood and help with depression. Relax the eyes, relax the mind, and body. Etc etc. Healing the eyes is an amazing thing. It impacts more than eye health!

Amazing that I never thought 💭 to think that. Like when your in a bad mood and if your just smile.. after a few minutes your mood will lift. My eyes have been around 1.75 1.5 for 25 years but I only ever wear glasses for driving at night and my eyes never got worse... but I always feel half asleep in the day ... hmm 🤔

Great episode! And so happy to hear there are more on the way 😄

Just stepped down my differentials and started to miss the podcast! Very timely.

"Can I trust you?" "No!" I am still laughing! 🔝😂..Jake you're the best! I've been in the medical field and I've always hated people coming to me to have the "magic quick fix"

This is so impressive. Well done James. That's life changing for your eyes. He went from a dangerous zone to pretty safe

This is motivating and beautiful

Brother Jake, most people say we should not wear glasses that long if you want our sight to improve! I have high myopia, what would you advice me on that???

28:02 actually only one of my friends was truly interested in how this all works and hes been 20/20+ his whole life

This would be a dream come true if my -3.00 went down to -1.00 I’m so tired of my eyesight. I’ve been prescribed with special glasses and now I have to wear them full time and the optometrists keep saying how I have to wear them for close up things and I said it strains my eyes though and I don’t need them for close up things. I was -3.00 in 2022 then left eye got worse in 2024 and it’s -3.05

Great episode.

Did he have astigmatism?? I would love to hear more about people that have high myopia and astigmatism and the history of when they were able to drop CYLs throughout the journey.

Is it just MY myopia (I mean, I'm -8 and watching this sans glasses, so it very well could be), or do these guys kinda look alike?

Last year I had a -6 in right eye and -1.25 in left I did have strabismus from too much close up and atm I’m at 5.50 and .75 in left eye no strabismus , I will try to work on that right eye but it’s very hard to active focus with both eye since I’m only seeing 1 side of my eye which is the good eye

Low myopia advice to improve your eyesight is not to wear any glasses at all and do the fundamentals of endmyopia, but maybe yeah drop .25 to both eyes. I have exactly the same diopters as you and it’s not THATBAD let’s be honest

Why is it that your eyes improve faster in the first few weeks ?I am -1.5left -1.75 right and I’m quite new to this jw

@fizeekpoaster

Most are overprescribed as others have said - think about how the Opt "doctor" does the testing. In a dark room! And if the lights are on it's poor lighting and your face is stuffed into a machine. Even if they're just having you read an eye chart with the lights on, measure the lumens in your room and it's dismal compared to the sun/being outside.

It's pretty reasonable really. Up to 30% comes off in the first 3-6 months between overprescrption and ciliary spasm release. Taking into account that 30% of 7 diopters is about 2 diopters and then and average improvement of .75 per year for 4 years (though I think he said it is closer to 1 diopter a year, probably because he doesn't really use a cell phone and gets great light) it adds up.
