Hi Jake, when my son was 5years it was identified that he is having myopia. R -6.5 & L -3.5. Doctor said it could be genetic, and by birth. During his childhood there were few traces of him getting hit to the wall. We never thought of it could be due to vision issue s, as none of us in the family had vision issues. When he was 7 years, minor lattice degeneration has been detected. Now he is 8years. We are not sure whether he has congenital myopia. When I was going through your PDF, I found a disclaimer that this method is not suitable for congenital myopia and degeneration cases. My question is, going by above information, would you please let me know whether my son can follow this technique?
I have done Bates exercises for a while, time ago, and my vision improved. They are based to studies done by Bates himself, and they may be incomplete yet there is something very true in them. The concept behind is to trick the mind to relax, seeing things confortable like the white in between the letters or only one tini corner of a letter, again and again. Watching things far distant and then close is also a very good exercise. They worked for me. What you are suggesting is not far from Bates, do you know that? to keep that little blurry distance to read or watch the computer screen (I imagine you also mean without glasses). And then use the glasses when u need it, gradually lowering down the prescription. Thank you for sharing your experience and ideas! 😎
not only stimulus, also exterior muscles, and the flexibility and balance. When I do AF and try to see the detail, when I release muscles I've become aware of, and 'balance' em, it starts to zoom in. The gottlieb presbyopia chart made me aware of these muscles, when one has to try to increase stereographic depth.
Hey guys, if you're bored doing active focus, just print a paper with lyrics of your favorite song and hear that song while doing it PS: sorry for bad english
I feel this is legit because it requires WORK! The optometry industry is based on the "quick fix," and as the quick fix is affordable and works well, the industry thrives How many of have the time or inclination to practice active focus every day? It's simpler to just slip on a pair of glasses or contacts (for myopia)
@@paramjeetthakkar7088 i have discontinued the use of contacts and only use glasses for television. My myopia is not severe so i do feel it has improved, but not 20/20 This is a long journey that will take years
How do you train a five year old that hasn’t started wearing her prescribed glasses yet ( due to mum seeing the end myopia blog) to achieve active focus. It would be most helpful if you would kindly make a video on how to help a young child with this. Different child friendly ways, tips and tricks. Thank you.
Hey jake!...everytime i do active focus it becomes clear but when i block one of my eye with my hand either one of the eye will be blur but the other will be clear....is this normal???
completely agree with your concept of active focusing ... this is wht i was doing around a month now.But dont completely agree with your exercise thing.As per my experience , exercise do help in regaining a clear focus faster then without them and also helps in keeping the focus for a longer time.Also relaxing exercise like palming do help relieve eyes of strain caused by focusing.
what people do not get is that 20 centimeters is almost one diopter. so that blur edge is something around 5 centimeters of adjustment for differential.
I think a visual of active blur would be very helpful... showing the sweet spot target with word but also with visuals.. it could be easily done with manual focus mode on smart phones. my understanding is that we want to always see crisp but with the eyes having to refocus occasionally through conscious deliberate effort..such as what triggers a blink.. and that we don't want to abide in a slightly blur state..because it can derail the progress.
jake,why my eyes love doing active focus without glasses than with glasses? im feel tired doing active focus with glasses (normalized),im -4,5D right and left eye..
Blinking has the opposite effect for me. My eyes are -3.75 and -4.0 and some times my distance vision much clearer but then my eyes start burning for some odd reason (do you know why?) and I have to blink and when I blink it goes back to being blurry again.
If this is still relevant; ive got the same condition, you should probably relax your eyes a little more and look at something closer, my vision does the blurry thing sometumes too and its because i have stared at someting like my phone for fat too long or i am simply tired
i have a -10 on right and -12 diopter on left.. i tried to find my active focus but as my focus point is very near , i have to squint my eyes too hard. so..what should i do? please suggest
One of the studies suggested compensatory anatomical changes during defocus dictated automatically by the retina (the researchers state that trimming the optic nerve didn't affect the remodelling of the sclera). Chickens seems to reverse myopia quickly through neurochemical modulation dictated by the retina. They don't have the time to get used to bluriness and stop emmetropization as humans seem to do. Would be interesting to understand how the retina recognizes that a image is blurry to activate compensatory mechanisms without the intervention of the brain (although the retina is brain evolutionarily speaking, so a kind of local regulatory mechanism not requiring centres in the higher brain might quietly exist ). Understanding in detail how this local process works would definitely be a great achievement . I'm gonna ask some researchers in the field of biology what their thoughts are on these arguments.
Just getting started on this. If the eyes are of different strengths/diopters, should I do active focus with each eye separately (covering the other eye?) Or, should i work with only the weaker eye until it has caught up to the other, and then resume active focus with both eyes together. Thanks for all these resources and your free thinking.
There's two different ways I am able to clear the blur, I don't know which would be correct (or if both or neither are). I can stare at something for a long time and focus on it. Eventually my eyes start watering a lot and the image clears up, which this gives my eyes a tired feeling after a while like they went to the gym. The other thing is when I blink (and it usually works best if I blink really hard) and that clears up the image too and this gives my eyes the same tired feeling. Can anyone tell me which is the right way of doing active focus?
No man, i have the too, like you can blink very hard and it clears up, but active focus is about a simple blink, also when your eye gets watery it's the water in your eye that acts like a lens and makes vision clear, I can do this too, but I don't recomend it. To fix your vision there is one principle: less staring at screen and use the distance vision take wals etc.
Jake, trying active focus for the first time, the 20/20 line of text became crystal clear for a few seconds and then went blurry again. A couple of weeks later I covered my eyes individually and can see 20/20 perfectly, however both eyes together, I need to close my eyes just a tiny bit and it's clear. Optometrists have told me that I have astigmatism of the cornea. They can't explain my 20/20 vision. Can you?
I have been trying different methods since 2022, Palming, eye excerises, etc. I’m gonna try this but I’m worried since now I’m nervous if the other methods would have effected my eyes in a negative way, would it?
Jake , tell me one thing plz. I was prescribed 1.25 lenses a year ago but now my prescription has increased. Now I want to follow your method. Should I buy new glasses or continue with same?
He can't because he wants you to buy his program, that's why he gives information but doesn't really tell you what to do. At least that's my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong.
I usually practice this with black text on white background because it’s easier to notice blur. As soon as I notice some blur, I try to focus. Blinking several times or staring and blinking once hard will make it clearer but not as clear as if it was in focus when it was closer. Is this active focus?
Why do you always make it so complicated? Just tell us what to do! All your videos are just you saying random stuff and I notice you're trying to avoid telling us what to do. At least the bates method is straight forward!
HI Jake When I do my "outdoor eye relax routine walks" here on the farm.... (no cars running over me.. :-) only a tractor maybe) I like to not wear any prescription, even though I have severe Myopia. It just feels more relaxing to me and I can stil feel my natural lens trying to do AutoFocus....
+Marthina Fourie It's handy to have a "blur horizon". A distance you can see clearly, and then some blur. That way your eyes have something to focus on, and a way to challenge yourself for more distance from there.
Hello My prescription is : R) -8.75 L) -7.5 I have ordered 0.5 number less . Hope it challenge ny eyes and improve eyesight. By the way, will staring at a distance (with glasses) help ? Thanks
What do you mean by "later on, it doesn't go from clear to blur, but from clear to odd double vision"? I'm asking because whenever I try active focus on a text that I can barely distinguish (not just a little blurry), the image I see is clear but odd in some way, just like you described it. Is this normal? I'm on the right path? Thank you so much!
Jake i think i figured out active focus,but its slightly different. I cant really blink to get active focus,rather i can Defocus and Refocus my eyelens by adjusting my ciliary manually.Is this active focus?
Jake I am all the way from India. I want to know if I use 2 glasses , one for close up & another for distance just reducing spherical & not messing with cylindrical power will help my eyes right? and wearing 2 glasses at 2 different times in day will not cause any problem with focal plane ? I want a answer from Jake ,,, waiting from India.
I think it's just simple math: 1. Time looking far away vs. time looking up close. 2-Lens stimulus you are getting, minus make eyes more nearsighted and plus make it more farsighted. 3-Time on good natural light vs. crap inside light. Active focus is maybe a bit of stimulus to the eyes that you can't see well enough-no more than that.
Question- how do I know I’m doing active focus right if I have high astigmatism??? Text especially small can be blurry sometimes I can still see the words but not crisp (without my glassed) Bit confusuled here because you’ve mentioned to not worry about astigmatism until later? Help ☺️
Could you please explain why is it better to print push on printed paper rather than on comp screen?Btw for some reason print pushing does not work for me well. Im a -0.75D myopic.. Ive heard its tough to get rid of the last diopter
I've started myopia reduction with -1.00, 0.75 and actually I'm with -0.50, -0.25 and it's incredible frustrating to reduce from -0.50 to -0.25 and -0.25 to 0.00. And one day your vision is clear and the next day it's not. It's a long *emotional journey*, good luck and be persistent. Rodrigo.
+ReviewBlogVlog Start going without glasses during some daytime walks. You've got all sorts of double vision (not really blur) to sort out, visual cortex can handle that whole diopter.
+endmyopia I am going without glasses, I do have improvements in vision (getting to 20/30 and 20/25 sometimes) the problem is the improvements NEVER LOCK UP , and they disappear after a while, or after some time indoors.I still don't understand why is it better to print push on a printed paper rather than computer screen.Thanks very much
I can already function in my local environement without my prescription glasses. Is it still necessary though to get weaker prescription glasses as my vision improves?
Ok thank you. So basically I take off -0.25 off the prescription for each eye and go like that step by step? Or should it be only off the weakest eye until both eyes are at the same level?
This method really works I have tried it for a month and it works but it's really slow and the improvement is not so big but clearly they is an improvement 😋
csn you please share what Exactly u did? because I am confused with active focus like how do we practice with or without glasses? or near to distant ? if I can clear blurred book text then can I continue with near blurred things or I should practice on 20/20 vision at the same time?
@@paramjeetthakkar7088 I haven't tried active focus but I don't use spectacles anymore I use them only for reading my eyesight is veryyyy weak and I can't imagine to even walk without my spectacles on but I decided to give it try and start doing daily work without them and everyday I am progressing not huge one but I can see difference the process is veryyyyy slow maybe because I am not doing active focus but I am not using my spectacles things are still blurred but now I can identify things colours and shapes my eyesight is L(6.45) R(7.45)
My contacts are about -1.25 diopter LESS than my real prescription (my real prescription is about -7.00). Is it okay to use these contacts for active focus? :) thanks Jake!
William T a question isn't an answer to another question. let's not start an argument there. what i wanted to say is that you may use no lense or even wear plus lenses while doing close up but for active focus which is supposed to be done outdoors shall not be done using a lense lesser than 0.5 of your actual prescription.
@@paramjeetthakkar7088 few weeks I think 😅 honestly maybe you could try it out and see how it goes for me is I didn't see any difference I guess but maybe because I'm not consistent and discipline enough to do it
Sir I don't know what do you want to say because I can't catch your accent as I am from India and please reply to me what I need to do improve my eyesight
i actually know a guy that can take my glasses and adjust his eyes to see clearly with them! and he has 20/20 vision so yeah its not impossible you just have to work it :D
+Havan Linh Me too. But I'm told by the lawyers that I have to keep telling people these things. Maybe some new language? Always open to suggestions! ;-)
I'm interested but it's hard to figure out what your all about. I've seen some of your other stuff dissing print pushing then you describe the method perfectly here as active focus. Unfortunately fairly monotone and run off so I didn't finish the video but knowing my shit, I'm guessing the rest of "active focus is borrowed from some of the more lesser known lessons Bates talked about such as tracing Sketching, relaxing and blinking with your own spin on the description. That's cool, you need to differentiate yourself from the methods you're using because Bates has devolved into a meditation practice instead of habitual use and proper form. I agree even though I am putting words in your mouth. I also think you still have some difficulty with astigmatism your tilts to the right (on video) and you also have uneven shoulders that could be your last ticket to getting past the 20/20 plateu. But my eyes still suck. That's why I am watching, I really want to know what can you offer me. I'm looking through your stuff I agree with with you so far but I've been burned before so I gotta ask. I want specifics
There is no practical difference between this and the Bates method. Both are eye exercises and both do the same thing. If you do one round of the Bates method certainly vision is clearer, why, how, don't know, perhaps they are stimulating the Active Focus, after all the exercises are just the same .... slightly blurry then clear up.
The important thing is that it works, at least that is my experience, strengthening muscles is not an unusual concept is it. The second important thing is that in my experience it is not different to what you are describing, at least that is how I always did the pumping methods from Bates. Your concept is that you can strengthen the muslces at the front of the eye ... but if that is possible then why wouldn't it be possible to strengthen the main lens muslces ?

2-Lens stimulus you are getting, minus make eyes more nearsighted and plus make it more farsighted.

+endmyopia I am going without glasses, I do have improvements in vision (getting to 20/30 and 20/25 sometimes) the problem is the improvements NEVER LOCK UP , and they disappear after a while, or after some time indoors.I still don't understand why is it better to print push on a printed paper rather than computer screen.Thanks very much
You're missing some of the steps to lock in improvements. :) Keep reading!
+endmyopia Keep reading where? I already saw all your videos, and read "the secret of perfect vision" bookI don't understand this
So is the clear but double vision thing normal? Cos it's really frustrating me

if I stare at a little blurred image for a while it clears .is this a correct method of active focus.??
Yup.
Can you please be clear ? If anybody understood please reply
Active focusing is open and close the eyes for focusing something?
Active focus with or without glasses???
Without glasses but wear lower priscribtion while diing indooor stuffs because you can see clearly with them but prfer it
hey i am using -3 prescription but i find normal even in -2.5 prescription. is any thing wrong or my eye doctor is wrong?
You're overprescribed if you're using -3, but you can see normal at -2.5.
I have a -7 prescription and can see the 20/15 Snellen line with a -6 prescription and some focus time.
@@McPro90 did you try active focus? Was it effective
I can already function in my local environement without my prescription glasses. Is it still necessary though to get weaker prescription glasses as my vision improves?
Look up 'diopter bubble' and 'blur horizon'.
Ok thank you. So basically I take off -0.25 off the prescription for each eye and go like that step by step?
Or should it be only off the weakest eye until both eyes are at the same level?
@@Olivman84 how's your eyesight improvement journey going? Was active focus helpful
Would it be better to do active focus with or without glasses? Does it make a difference?
Doesn't matter. Read up on "diopter bubble" though. It's all a question of how far you want to see clearly before the blur challenge.

This method really works I have tried it for a month and it works but it's really slow and the improvement is not so big but clearly they is an improvement 😋
csn you please share what Exactly u did? because I am confused with active focus like how do we practice with or without glasses? or near to distant ? if I can clear blurred book text then can I continue with near blurred things or I should practice on 20/20 vision at the same time?

@@sssooo1743 did u try active focus? Was it effective
@@paramjeetthakkar7088 I haven't tried active focus but I don't use spectacles anymore I use them only for reading my eyesight is veryyyy weak and I can't imagine to even walk without my spectacles on but I decided to give it try and start doing daily work without them and everyday I am progressing not huge one but I can see difference the process is veryyyyy slow maybe because I am not doing active focus but I am not using my spectacles things are still blurred but now I can identify things colours and shapes my eyesight is L(6.45) R(7.45)
@@sssooo1743 okayy, thanks! Could you tell how much have u improved? And in how much time? Please tell me :-)
dude cant i have a tldr version?
basicly what is it? should i go outside and looking at far away?
+rejie jorek tl;dr just wear your glasses
My contacts are about -1.25 diopter LESS than my real prescription (my real prescription is about -7.00). Is it okay to use these contacts for active focus? :) thanks Jake!
No, you shouldn't use glasses that are less more than 0.50
Ignore him^. You can use weaker lenses for close-up.
William T do you understand the difference between active focus and close up?
shoaib ali khan Where do you get your "information"?
William T a question isn't an answer to another question. let's not start an argument there. what i wanted to say is that you may use no lense or even wear plus lenses while doing close up but for active focus which is supposed to be done outdoors shall not be done using a lense lesser than 0.5 of your actual prescription.
It's weird now without the gong sound
Jack what to do for improve my vision I have -3.00 D no on both eyes, I have to improve my vision at any cost, Sir please guide me where to start
+Amit Choudhary Who's Jack?
+endmyopia doctor give me open challenge that there is no another way to improve eyesight without surgery.....
It’s Jake
@@amitchoudhary8653 Starting by reading his link list would've been a much better option than asking simple questions in comments
Would you recommend using plus lenses when active focusing ? Thanks.
Depends. I made a quick video on plus lens use previously.
If your myopia is weak, yes. If it's strong (worse than -2), then no.

Ah... after watching a few of your videos i get it now. But just one question though like how many times or how long do i do active focus?

@@paramjeetthakkar7088 haha gave up halfway... Need to wear glasses now 😭
@@ooitzeyew3304 for how many months did u try active focus though
@@paramjeetthakkar7088 few weeks I think 😅 honestly maybe you could try it out and see how it goes for me is I didn't see any difference I guess but maybe because I'm not consistent and discipline enough to do it
Sir I don't know what do you want to say because I can't catch your accent as I am from India and please reply to me what I need to do improve my eyesight
Watch slowly and Google the words if you want, the more videos you watch more it make sense

I read with my glasses off... doesn't seem to help. Maybe my eyes are still getting worse :( How long is it supposed to go on before you see a change?
Classic hey pls help me pls
what about the opposite of it? I can blur my vision at will too
i actually know a guy that can take my glasses and adjust his eyes to see clearly with them! and he has 20/20 vision so yeah its not impossible you just have to work it :D

How's it going
@@paramjeetthakkar7088 Hi. It's going fine. It takes time.
Take care and stay safe!
Does this apply to teens?
For sure.
I've watch few Bates videos, and a few of yours, and I don't know what in the heck you are talking about... Very frustrating.
Try this for a Jake-less version of endmyopia: wiki.endmyopia.org
Can you please tell me how do I do the active focus if only one of my eye is myopic?
Active focus with both eyes together, regardless.
Is le meow related to you sir

I'm interested but it's hard to figure out what your all about. I've seen some of your other stuff dissing print pushing then you describe the method perfectly here as active focus. Unfortunately fairly monotone and run off so I didn't finish the video but knowing my shit, I'm guessing the rest of "active focus is borrowed from some of the more lesser known lessons Bates talked about such as tracing Sketching, relaxing and blinking with your own spin on the description. That's cool, you need to differentiate yourself from the methods you're using because Bates has devolved into a meditation practice instead of habitual use and proper form. I agree even though I am putting words in your mouth. I also think you still have some difficulty with astigmatism your tilts to the right (on video) and you also have uneven shoulders that could be your last ticket to getting past the 20/20 plateu. But my eyes still suck. That's why I am watching, I really want to know what can you offer me. I'm looking through your stuff I agree with with you so far but I've been burned before so I gotta ask. I want specifics
All true. Endmyopia is just Bates, that's why endmyopia.org/bates-method/.
could you reply to me when you find something that really works
There is no practical difference between this and the Bates method.
Both are eye exercises and both do the same thing.
If you do one round of the Bates method certainly vision is clearer, why, how, don't know, perhaps they are stimulating the Active Focus, after all the exercises are just the same .... slightly blurry then clear up.
"Why, how, don't know .." exactly. That's Bates Method in a nutshell. Bonus: it doesn't last long past the exercises!
The important thing is that it works, at least that is my experience, strengthening muscles is not an unusual concept is it.
The second important thing is that in my experience it is not different to what you are describing, at least that is how I always did the pumping methods from Bates.
Your concept is that you can strengthen the muslces at the front of the eye ... but if that is possible then why wouldn't it be possible to strengthen the main lens muslces ?
Your muscles aren't "weak". ;) Here's actually how myopia happens: endmyopia.org/end-myopia-home/
He never advocated strengthening any muscles, Steve Green is that you???
method is useless no work
fraud one ... I don't know what is talking
If you dont know, better keep shut
@@martworld1 did you improve
I can active focus, Jake is no fraud. I dare you to just try it. You will be blown away.
