48 year old here. I was told to use glasses for far 12 years ago. This was inspite of me reading everything on the board across the room. I did not use them on my sister's advice. Now I do need reading glasses but I still avoid it as I am a software engineer and know the keyboard well. I can see the screen very well as it is like a metre away from my face. One of the reasons people cannot see well is the use of grey on grey text promoted by Apple. There are browser plugins that convert grey on grey to black on white.
Wow, cutting sugar out of my diet and cutting carbs has helping my focusing so much I no longer need ciliary exercises but I am prediabetic tho. I had no idea sugar was the reason I couldnt read shit in the mornings. Soon as I eat carbs for a whole day, the morning focus problems are back until mid day. Started a ketoish diet to lower blood sugar and low and behold stumbled across the reason for my focusing issues. The near/far did help but just about quitting sugar did more. STUNNED update, my A1c test shows 5.1 so I am not prediabtic, shows that carbohydrates affect vision or going into ketosis improves vision. I know ketosis eliminates brain fog and body pain and weight control but damn, much better eyesight and much improved dry eye. WOW what a bonus
I fully believe this. I went on a water only fast for 7 days and it corrected my Presbyopia completely. It slowly came back when I resumed my carb -laden garbage diet.
I corrected my distance vision to 20/20 years ago; at 70 I can read comfortably in good lighting including 14" laptop, occasionally I will use a +1.5 for very close such as board repair.
@G E T R E K T I was 18 back then with 20/50 vision; I instinctually new glasses were not the answer, and my research indicated through the Bates method the reason why glasses caused eyes to get worse, further, I hated wearing frames on my face. so I knew there had to be solution. It was through years of research trial and error that I figured out how to address the situation, even my eye doctor was shocked.
@@LaurenBradburyFarm I had tried many programs to no avail. Through collective research I found meditation for thirty minutes a day was the key, once I mastered the technique after two years, I could control respiration, and other autonomic functions, my eyes also started to clear. I never used glasses since I was a mild case, second, if my eyes got tired I would look into the distance for several minutes while remaining completely relaxed, if I was tense, my eyes also suffered. Third, I found going outside and sunning the eyes helped improve vision, "at least two or three hours a day" walking. I realized staring at a screen for hours a day without a break caused the eyes to spasm. Finally, eating sensibly was also important, all these factored into my success.
@@johncunningham5435 Awesome. I'm in the arena with meditation and breathwork, but for different reasons and had never connected it to the possibility of allowing my vision to come right. Now, I'm even more inspired. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is exactly what I’m doing. My optometrist originally gave me a pair of +2.0, and I am gradually switching them to +1.75, +1.5, +1.25 and now just changed to +1.0, for every 3 to 4 months.
I will resort to Jakes method once/if the ciliary exercises dont work as well as I would like. But promising first 3 weeks, only 15 min a day. Jake is always right on myopia, praying for one Jake slip up on not wanting to workout the ciliarys like you would any other muscle.
@@endmyopia Hi Jake! Trying to see if the theory is the same. I do not wear glasses but one of my eyes is falling behind. I am 36. I do work in front of a computer. I am pretty much fine unless my eyes are strained from working all day or if i have to read tiny font. The question I have is to the myopia theories work the same for people who have presbyopia and astigmatism? I don't know if it is intentional and i am sure a ton of people ask you this. But a good UA-cam video would be "How to prevent yourself from needing glasses" What do you recommend? Thank you!
NAC eye drops.... this is what im trying to get a hold of. There is an issue with the lens hardening... it penatrates the layers of the lens and it can break down the disulfide bonds that cause the lens hardening. Theres not a great blood flow to the lens so you need a direct method. There was a recall but i feel like its been sorted out.
So far seems nobody cracked that one. There's a giant thread in our forum too, people making the formula DIY. Rumors of some pharma product on the horizon though.
Ive been living in double vision since 2018. I can almost read the monitor sitting back from 3ft away. Ive been noticing this and wondering about presbyopia while having the phone right in front of my face by habit and not having to. At some point it becomes more clearing double vision than blur. Its embarrassing giving people these goofy looks and not knowing if they're eye contact
Presbyopia refers to the lack of visual accommodation with age. That does not necessarily mean needing reading glasses. I got progressives at age 50, because my distance prescription was too powerful for me to focus up close. The progressives help a little for intermediate distances, like reading the dashboard while driving. But it is easier just to take my glasses off to read, eliminating the distance correction. In fact, many nearsighted people like me will never need reading glasses.
True. And also in general most people would never actually need reading glasses. In fact reading glasses are counter productive to keeping that lens flexible.
@@endmyopia Are progressive lenses similarly counterproductive? A number of years ago, my accommodation got bad enough that I needed them to see closer objects with my glasses. But my cataract surgeon (last month) told me that my accommodation was completely gone, so I had him replace my cloudy lenses with artificial lenses that focus up close. I use glasses for distance (over 18 inches).
Thank you for the advice. My ability to read without glasses has declined significantly since I started using reading glasses 2-3 years ago. I am 49 and have 1.25 and 1.75 glasses.
Slowly lower the reading glass power. Every six months, drop 0.25. Lighting also makes a big difference. You may still need some diopters, some of the time but ideally - less.
@@endmyopia Thanks, I decided to use for now only the 1.25 pair. It’s definitely good enough. I’ll go to the store and replace the 1.75 glasses to a lower number. I just bought two cheap pairs of 1.00 and I can even make do with them as well. It’s just that without glasses I can’t read anything on my phone even if the text size is relatively large.
I’m 36 and my doctor just prescribed an Add +1.0 but I can still read clearly with my current prescription at a normal distance. I can read fairly close without my glasses too (I have myopia as well as Amblyopia and Strabismus in my left eye). They sold me bifocals, however if I don’t like it I’ll have them switch to what I have now. I have a hard time with the test of picking the best out of two images because of how small it is (worse on my left eye).
Hey bro... I want to ask that i had a thought of having retinal detachment because i had floaters because too much active focus and movement of eyes... Is it really RD or i am just thinking?
Important Sir please please made a video for those people who are currently on -2.00,-1.75 because you already said before there is no requirement of differential glasses , and I also want to know how to continue endmyopia journey after -1.00 , sir it is very mush important to know about it , their is no video on this subject we all know what to do before -2.25 but next part is missing please help u
Maybe I need to revisit the site material...but I'm using different strength reading glasses to help combat myopia and relax my eyes during computer use and reading. Aren't those of us with naturally reversed myopia and desk jobs going to need readers for the rest of our lives too?
Hi jake iam 20 days practiced active focus after double vision holes & lettes flucated night vision iam seeing ghost images how to cure pls any method tell me jake 🙏🙏🙏tell me pls
Ive started active focusing much more instead of eye exercises, In Jake I trust lol Using plus to prevent spasm or if I just cant read the tiny print or low light, other than that, its the ole eyeballs doing the work
Hi, I am -2 but nowadays I just can’t read if I have my distance glasses on. When I remove the glasses I can read just fine. So I bought a chain for my glasses to take them on & off. It’s a bit too much though constantly taking them on and off. Is that bad for the eyes? I don’t need reading glasses, I just can’t see close only when I’m wearing glasses! 🙁
Seems fine! You could get an eye chart and a -1.50 (ballpark). Wear no glasses for a day or so if it's safe and comfortable, then see if the -1.50 work for distance. A bit more likely you can also read with those on at least for short periods. Not advice this, just thoughts for possible experiments.
To avoid having to take my distance vision glasses off if I need to read or look at something close up, I select small frame glasses, worn high on my nose as usual. I can leave the glasses on and see under the lenses for close-up.
What if they add +1 to my “all the time glasses” I haven’t gotten my new glasses yet and thats a new addition to my prescription I haven’t been feeling great about it but tiny writing is harder these day 🫤what yo do🤷🏼♀️keep it or get it off
Can anyone answer these question because I am too eagered to improve my eyesight . 1) I am getting clear flash for seconds does it mean something ? 2) I am able to see clear after blinking is it active focus ? 3) Which thing really improves eyesight from endmyopia is it active focus , avoiding screen time ,outdoor time and differentials all together . Please answer these I am unable to understand all these even after watching videos .
@G E T R E K T Thanks for response. I am having -1.75 in LE and -2.5 in RE . 1)Does wearing glass after active focus decline my improvements they are -.25 diopter less than above prescription . 2)What was your diopter in dec and now . 3)Should I dont wear glass for improvement . 5)What type of glass do you use ,some diopter less glass or normal prescription glass .

I was hoping for a new Jake Stenier cure but the same ole same lol Good video but nothing new. Me being intermediate/distance vision guy all my life my focusing muscle sucks and the lens is stiff. This is why im doing near/far excercises and they are helping alot. Most endmyopians have decently strong ciliarys and a lens that is bent more frequently than mine. I couldnt imagine looking at a book or puter close up for hours trying to fix this. Jake is right tho, I dont use readers 90 to 95 % of the time. % going up after ciliary workouts. Stay tuned lolol
Yea very possibly some form of focused exercises could help with existing presbyopia. I won't make any claims though unless / until we have enough people try something and see if it works. Meanwhile this just because the presbyopia question comes up a lot. :)
@@Yousef-ci7gb yes!!!! My left eye is farsighted by .25D, right eye is 20/20ish to 20/25 on the near side. But I have agtigmatism laser screw up in my right eye also.

I have been side tracked starting the keto diet. Back at it tonight. No exercises in 2 weeks and can still read better than I started. Im excited!!!!!!
@@Yousef-ci7gb All im doing is watching TV and holding my phone 12 to 15in away and switching focus.
