How Glasses Make Your Eyesight Worse | Endmyopia | Jake Steiner

Reducing lens diopters? Don't try any of this at home. This is all highly experimental, unapproved, and definitely requiring research and reading and critical thinking. And still, you're totally doing a thing you're probably not supposed to. Especially for anyone going "but what are the stepz, bro", this is definitely and absolutely not for you. Lots more myopia science, clinical studies and also rants nobody asked for, here: endmyopia.org/...
The Jake Origin Story: I grew up with glasses, 5.00 diopter high myopia, and yet today have 20/20 natural eyesight. No surgery, no glasses, I figured out how myopia actually works and how to reverse it (and no, not eye exercises!) The mainstream tells you it's impossible - but the whole concept that myopia is an illness, is complete unscientific nonsense (a 100 billion dollar a year profitable nonsense, though).

[@brentonpacker3291]

I am only in my 40's and need to get eye injections (anti-VEGF) every 6 weeks to stop my right eye's retina from bleeding (left untreated would lead to complete blindness at the macula). Why is it bleeding? Pathologic myopia. How did I get that? Most likely from my optometrist--who I assume overcorrected my vision every year from a very young age. I went from a -1.00D to -12.00D over 15 years. Can I prove it was his fault? no. But I do have some evidence that it was his fault. All of my brothers (3) and sisters (2) went to him. My younger sister and I are the only two who wore our glasses faithfully every day. My sister also has high myopia. All my other siblings were prescribed glasses from the same optometrist, but seldom wore them. Today, all of them have good vision and don't need corrective lenses any more (except readers). I feel like an idiot. My left eye is 2 diopters behind my right eye. I fear it will eventually develop choroidal neovascularization, too. Jake, I agree. It takes courage to stand up to these arrogant optometrists. They know this has been going on for years (emmetropization), but would rather cash in on prescribing expensive glasses and contacts to young children instead of letting the eye naturally grow to 20/25 or better.

Hi Jake, it's interesting information, but how come hyperopia exists then? People with hyperopia experience hyperopic defocus at both long and short distance- if hyperopic defocus caused eyes to elongate, wouldn't their "short" eyes grow and hyperopia would "go away" on its own?

[@Su-krosLily]

I don’t know about what Jake is talking about because this is the first I’ve watched, but I’m curing my myopia with the Bates method and Bates believed everything was caused by eye strain and it was more of a mental issue as your brain has to correctly interpret the info it gets from the eyes. Myopia is Mental and Nathan Oxenfeld have videos you can watch about the Bates method🙂 It’s working for me😊

Hello, I am a litlle bit different case, because I have been last checked about 3 years ago and I had 6.5 D (Now I think it has over the years increased but not too quickly like before I hope). But to this day I wear 5.25 to school that I can see on board (but mostly I am sitting really near). I fell like I have 70% vision of normal person with it but it does not cause huge problems for me. The interesting thing ist that I am always relived when I get home and take my glasses off. For closeup I wear 2.75 or 3.00 and when I am somewhere in the nature where is it safe a dont have glasses at all. I Have almost never done the thing of having my glasses all day long on nose. I am only 17 and I was always insecured about it but trough the years I developed this "ability" to not be adiccted on my glasses. I dont know if this is good or bad but I dont really want to get used to higher D. Could this work for me? I cant do the edge of blurry thing properly when I am wearing less D, But I think that active focus is working good.

[@zivotsmorcaty2214]

I go by rule wearing the least I need for activities but I am not doing somethig limitig me or something uncomfortable. I do this from childhood but the concept of dropping too much scared me, but my case is different? Are my eyes more trained? Or should I wear glasses with the D I need even if it is uncomfortable?

[@chenhuiting8703]

Hello from Bangkok. I have high myopia of something around -8.00 and some astigmatism and it’s unequal between two eyes. To make it worse, last time I checked the doctor said my current glasses is inaccurate. At first we thought it’s genetics as my dad is -1.50 nearsighted. 20years later from when I was first diagnosed I looked back and see nobody in my family has as severe myopia as I am and nobody in my family wear glasses as much as I do. Now I have ordered a reduced prescription glasses of -6.00 from online shop. I’ll learn more about this subject.

[@peachlife5118]

Same here! I'm a Biology major so I KNOW poor vision is inherited, typically in a recessive fashion. My dad insisted nobody ever had vision this bad (I'm - 10 in both eyes). I told him you must just not know, someone HAD to have it. He laid out the whole family tree for me and told me every single person's vision history for the last 4 generations- hardly anybody even needed reading glasses in old age!!!

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

@@peachlife5118, you “KNOW” wrong… Epigenetics plays a role, but it’s not determinative. Habits/lifestyle and lens use are to blame. Hyperopic defocus causes the eye to elongate. Myopic defocus causes it to shorten. Simple biology.

[@editbalint-ordog1265]

So it looks like based on the animation that the hyperopic defocus is mostly peripherial. Also it looks like the more elongated (elliptical) the eye the bigger the peripherial hyperopic defocus, right? I wonder that in case myopia is very high, would a slight undercorrection (like 0.25) potentially cause peripherial hyperopic defocus too?

[@endmyopia]

Don’t overthink the exact animation proportions. I didn’t pay for a biologist to make this one. 😬👍🏻

[@editbalint-ordog1265]

@@endmyopia yeah not just due to the animation but ever since i started EM i was wondering about this quesrion actually. Consodering that the emmetropic eye is spherical it would make sense that if light focuses on the central fovea then it would also focus emmetropically on the peripherial. And when eye starts being elliptical this theory would lead to being hyepropic defocus on the peripherial. But i dont know, these are just my guesses :) also for me i always had to reduce whenever i was around 20/25 as it wasnt getting better than that. I always reduce to 20/40 or so, and after couple of weeks the previous normz becomes 20/20. So i am not exactly following the EM guidelines but this is how it worked the best for me :)

With all due respect ... your theory is practically incorrect, for me at least. I have not changed my prescription since 12 yrs and yet my vision, as a myope, has decreased 0.75 than before on both eyes, which proves that your theory of eye ball adaptations is unrealistic. Although, there is a possibility that it may have halted the steep drop ,yet, the repeated eye straining to focus has brought about headaches, facial wrinkles and skin creases.

I wore glasses my whole left cause I was stupid I use stand in front of they tv watch movies effected my eye sight vision

[@Summer_Gold]

If I stop wearing glasses, does it help reverse the damage?

[@endmyopia]

There's no damage. Just an elongated eyeball. It'll change direction if you want it to. ;)

Hi! I’ve been using the Bates method and my eyesight is definitely improving! He was an eye doctor from back in 1920 and he cured many cases of myopia. His methods have been really working for me, you can learn more about him on Nathan Oxenfelds channel as well as in his (free online) book ‘perfect eyesight without glasses’ Bates believed that glasses make your eyesight worse because they lock your eyes into a constant state of strain.

[@trishitgupta3410]

So should I wear glasses while using phone / laptop or anything close which I can see clearly

[@user-so2kv9pe7z]

Consodering that the emmetropic eye is spherical it would make sense that if light focuses on the central fovea then it would also focus emmetropically on the peripherial. And when eye starts being elliptical this theory would lead to being hyepropic defocus on the peripherial, is that so?

[@Yu_ki22]

I’ve always wondered why my eyes are get worse so quickly, I’ve first wore glasses in 1st grade at 6 yo I didn’t need them yet my parents (they thought it improved the eye) Made sure I do , and until a week ago I used to wear my glasses 24/7 still thinking it improved my sight , I’m not 12 and I can see a face a meter away from me , I’ve spent so long on electronics and slept with a little light ,so please anyone how has experienced something like this and has a way to fix my sight , please tell me how

Hi! I’m no doctor or anything, but I’ve been using the Bates method to improve my vision for the last six months and I really think it’s working! You can read his book ‘perfect eyesight without glasses’ for free online or watch Nathan Oxenfelds videos about it! I found his method from a yt comment section so I’m trying to spread the word the same way cuz I don’t want anyone to experience the fear of blindness and helplessness that I did about my eyes before finding Bate’s method.

Hey jake I go to doctor.he said my number is same I said I had wear .25low he said it didn’t make any difference what should I do???

[@ramanchhabra8975]

I am -2 diopters in both eyes , do i need to wae differentials ??

[@madozbeez7975]

So.. are we not supposed to wear glasses??? I was thinking getting one but one step lower than my eye prescription so if im -1 i get -0.5. Is this a good idea?

[@AlejandroRivera-fk7fg]

How can i reverse it

[@endmyopia]

By asking in KZbin comments? 🤔

[@AlejandroRivera-fk7fg]

@endmyopia o just seen you're pinned comment sorry

[@heksogen4788]

It's the lens that changes shape to change focus and not eyeball...

[@sleppy_Hello]

Huh, my eye sight isn't that much different after like 4 years, only worse by like .25 in my left eye

[@ww8277]

Well my eyesight is stable for 4 years. I'm wearing glasses for 8 years, if you don't like wearing glasses take lenses, I'm wearing lenses for 2 years and I'm so get used to it. I don't really know glasses made my eyesight worse, interesting topic :/ I'm gonna ask my doctor when I go check up :))

[@J_X999]

Your doctor will deny this. They all do. It's their job

[@ww8277]

@@J_X999 Why would he do that :) He is so close to our family. Even he suggested my mom a professional doctor for her LASIK surgery. I trust him also he is wearing glasses to. But I'll still going to ask him if this is true or not. My last check up is 3 months ago I'll go for another check up 3 months later. I'll let you know when I'll go (if I remember, no promises :).)

Does active focusing reduce the number of glasses?

[@sushileye]

On paper it does seem ok.. but did u know even if xyz doesnt wear glasses still the eyeball elongates with time..myopia is generally genetic based and with glass or without elongation is pre-planned in genes..atleast with glasses xyz can do all tasks an normal person can..i am an ophthalmologist n using glasses myself for past 20yrs..science is more of clinical co-relation to literature n not just commenting on either of it individually..also just because few/many papers infer something, its not accepted by whole medical community.. pls refrain from these videos! So do u suggest not to wears glasses at all in order to stop elongation of eye n that xyz lives with blurry vision n handicapped? We as doctors makes patients life close to normal and brother glasses are way to go..also did u ever think why theres no comment on treating hyperopia?

[@endmyopia]

According to clinical science that’s just not true. The “it’s genetic argument” has no basis in actual studies nor does it even make sense. We’re not having a global genetic defect that just started manifesting in recent decades. If I’m wrong please feel free to cite study references. Also the start of myopia is in pseudomyopia or NITM. Also pretty clearly understood in peer reviewed science. It saddens me that the “professionals” seem to know the least about their own academia.

[@peadarash]

@@endmyopia Beautifully put Jake. The "it's in the genes" argument never made any sense to me. Neither of my parents wore glasses when I wound up getting my first pair of glasses at 13 years old. So according to the genes argument I should not have had myopia. However I did have myopia even though I possess my parents genes. I know countless other people in the same situation. Anyway, now I don't care anymore. I had regressed to -2.00 dioptres at my worst. Having followed your method I now have 20/20 vision. Got the glasses requirement removed from my driving license and never wear glasses. Thank you so much for your work Jake! I couldn't be happier with my eyes. Also, my wife is doing your method now also. She started at -5.50. She now wears -4.00. She reduced 1.5 diopters in 18 months. And I know in time, just like me, she will be back to 20/20.

i am getting double vision vertically after reducing to my normalized and differentials? I am Really worried about it. I have been doing active focus since 30 days... Please Reply jake ive -8 in both eyes 😔

[@endmyopia]

Don’t make more reductions till you make liberal use of the search function. As I explain a great many times, blur > double vision > clear, is the process. Also recent video on “transient astigmatism” and many others. This is a DIY project, treat it as such - plenty of research while you’re doing self experiments.

[@dreadpirateroberts3902]

@@endmyopia actually after waking up i started getting double vision in my left eye. It was almost as if i saw two letters, one above the other. But after one day it came back to normal. I think it happened because i slept with my hand pressurising my left eye due to which my eyeball shape changed. (Its just my idea) But now it's fine and will report the improvements soon :)
