Its all good man. We're all figuring this thing out as we go. All the best to you, and good to see you again.

I'm a Korean. I discovered myopia by accident and my current vision is -3.75 diopters. I am slowly lowering by 0.25 every 3 months following Jake's advice. It takes 4 years to get rid of glasses. This comment was written with Google Translate.

I've just binged your entire channel. Really informative and encouraging stuff you've got here. Hope you keep making videos.

You're videos are going to be very interesting from the point of view of being a record of your journey and helping others on the same path, mistakes and all.

Detecting mistakes is the first step to improvement. Thanks for this video and waiting for the next one. Ciao

Hey NottNott, I had a similar experience. Pulling myself out of being reduction-crazy was honestly so hard. Now that I’m on the right track, everything seems to falling together. Don’t worry, keep up what you’re doing! Thousands of us all together:)

How's your eyesight improvement journey going? Is it easier for younger ppl to improve their eyesight more quickly?

From the U.S., proud of you man! Found Endmyopia in November and I’ve been watching your progress videos ever since along with several others. They’ve been nothing short of inspirational. I just started using a pair of differentials on the 31st (I’m now a week in). Coming from the -5 camp (-5.25 OD / -5.75 OS) I can certainly say that this is a journey, but I am already seeing improvements for myself and have strong faith in this process. Keep it going! Best of luck!

I have the same measurements as you, what is your current measurement? How much did you improve?

Thanks for the video - your efforts haven't been wasted. You know now, through experience, that the important metric is how clearly you see, not the arbitrary number of diopters on the lenses. This will really help you in a few years when you get to low myopia and have to bust through the last plateau. Keep going!

Hi Nott, I hope and pray you are close to 20/60.

I work at an office and I ate lunch outside today and plan to go to the park later. It's cold and wet out but have to do it. I must design an eye positive lifestyle where I am slowly improving and baffling doctors every year instead of slowly getting worse and at risk for other eye problems.

循序渐进，慢慢来比较快。恭喜你又有新的体验。

Ah your video at 2:48 made me think about my vision being more hyperopic by about .25 for 30 min to 1.5 hrs after I wake up. Glad it is not just me

I am the opposite - I am reluctant to decrease my prescription because I am worried if I am reducing it too much 😆 my first normalised is only -0.25 weaker and my current prescription allows me to see 20/20 on the Snellen chart. Logic says that I should be ok, but I am worried anyway lol. Anyway, thanks for charting your progress. Will consider doing a channel of my own.

Thanks so much for your videos, they help a lot! Am also on my journey back to 20/20. However, I have just one genuine question...do correct me if I am wrong, but I think that if I reduce my glasses prescription by -1 or just slightly more, as long as I keep doing active focus for the blur distant texts/objects, then blur adaption will never occur. Is that true? Hope to hear from u brother :)

@NottNott

That's literally what I did and got blur adaptation. Check out EndMyopia Wiki, you really just wanna reduce 0.25 at a time after ciliary spasm clears up.

Plz describe of your exercises name.and how many hours you doing these exercise. Plzz written below. Plzz

HI NottNott Thanks for the very honest report. You have made progress but I am not entirely certain how many diopters lower you are since you started. Please could you make that clear and also how different are your differentials compared to your nornalised now?

Use Snellen

I want to go slow. I am okay with wearing a lens for 4 months. I want my eyes to fully adapt. More than reduction, I focus on habits, like distance viewing and cutting down on unnecessary close-up work. I guess the practice of mediation will help me in keeping my eyes relaxed while its tries to focus on distant objects.

Hi NottNott I'm very interested as a newbie to endmyopia so many thanks for your encouraging videos. Jake is brilliant but being a Brit I don't always decipher his terminology too well. I have had big problems finding an open minded optician here in the UK, just met with defensiveness and refusal to help and prescribed even stronger glasses. So if you don't mind me asking where do you get your glasses from & if at all possible can you recomend a friendly optometrist? Grateful thanks.

I got most of my glasses from SelectSpecs, but recently they've started putting a horrible green tint that that I didn't ask for in the lenses. They were a good choice though, another great choice is Zenni from the states but that takes a long time in shipping. Can't recommend and friendly optometrists as I haven't used one. Good luck :)

How's your eyesight improvement journey going? Did active focus help u?

Recovery is a very slow process! You should have never been put into a minus lens - in the first place. The OD should always give you "signed consent", so that your have an educated choice. Keep working on it!

1:40 that's me now, I have -2 and -2.75 but I stil have my -0.75 -1.25 glasses, and I always thought that active focus would be about seeing things from blurry to less blurry, but now after doing it for 2 weeks I can do active focus from blurry to very little blur. If you have weak glasses for your eyes, just use them during a sunny day, you should still improve, even if slower. Also I started improving by ditching my phone and pc and going in the woods more often.

When Active focus is found is it like watching my cell camera focus on something? Is it kind of like that when it is experienced? That would be so cool. Either way sounds like it would feel like a superpower 😆

I'm sure there are a lot that will benefit from this information.

How much time did you spend each day working on discovering active focus? Was is anywhere between 15 mins and 3 hours for example? Would you recommend 15 minutes per day to form a habit that can help people find active focus? What is the minimum amount of time a person should spend each day on this? Thanks! Also wish I could practice with someone who knows how to do it like learning to ride a bike. (I'm posting this question again in case you don't see it on an older video)

It took me about 30 hours of standing in front of a register at work and staring at price tags to find AF. It is 100% riding a bike, you can just do it when you know how. My best advice is, if you're unsure if you have AF or not, you probably haven't found it. Good luck man :)

You aren't the only one. I've been gung ho with undercorrections for a year now. Yes...took me a year to acknowledge this and a change. For year 2, I'll be going up one diopter for a more conservative undercorrection. Thought I could just shock my eyes to change course. Figured the weaker the lens, the more you protect yourself from a degrading refractive state from arms length activities, guess it's not that simple...

@@paramjeetthakkar7088 I'm glad to answer that for you (as I noticed most OPs talking about vision improvement journeys annoyingly don't reply to such questions months after!) As it goes...I am intrigued recently that my left eye has improved very slightly, based on slight clarity improvement on a distant sign I focus on for distant vision. I'm withholding making any conclusions until I change my contact at the end of the month w/a fresh one, as its possible (or maybe impossible considering contact lens are machine made) there are slight variants in the lens itself. I'm cautiously optimistic. It used to be very clear initially that my right eye was stronger than my left, but now they seem to compete.
