[@creatrixinc]

I just started working with Dr. Julie and am very excited because I couldn't figure out active focus, so as much as I love the idea of Endmyopia, I can't do it on my own.

[@jingxu3192]

Hi, can you please share your experience of working with Dr. Julie, because i really want to work with her to help my child on astigmatism, and it will be so helpful to hear from your experience and results of working with her! many many thanks!

[@raphaelalbert8110]

Really enjoying this new interactive style of yours, Jake. Would really like for Julie to have expanded on the photo-syntonic aspect of her therapy. Just today, in fact, I first heard of it. Maybe in the next video.

[@dawnbern2917]

I did some digging into photo syntonic for myopia, and as Dr. Julie self-professed, results are limited (to perhaps slowing progression): nowhere near the reversals like we see with endmyopia. She could help even more people if she adds endmyopia's tenants of active focus to her practice. Stay undiplomatic Jake! We like you that way :) Dawn

[@juliesteinhauer267]

Hi Dawn. We can reduce myopia by about 30% in less than a year and astigmatism by about 40-50%. Hope this helps...

[@mattely6774]

Good one! Glad to hear that there's another optometrist out there who wants to help people reduce diopters. When she says that she gives everyone a prescription, I wonder what that would look like for someone who comes in seeing 20/40 or so with ciliary myopia only. Lots more interesting conversation there!

A great thing you both are doing. A side note - the lens "scam" has two key components: 1. They make u dependent, and 2. they sell you frames. The sales "professionals" somehow always tell people that their faces look muuuuuch better en frames at $146.99 than something normal at $45. I mean it is a complete disaster.

This was a great start and I really really super appreciate all your time and effort in trying to help others who have myopia and are trying to find hope and other ways to reverse their refractive error. ...Especially when optometrists and their "assistants" like to argue with people that it's irreversible due to "genetics".

There needs to be more optometrists like her. She needs to open a school and train others. She is right, this doesn't take away from optometry, it just changes the practice. This is what functional and holistic medicine is to the Western medical industry. This does deserve 55,000 likes.

Maybe in another interview? It's also awesome that she takes patients from around the world, considering how few behavioural optometrists are out there, that's key for someone looking for this kind of therapy/approach.

So it's 2020, what a great year to go back to 20/20 :D *_tl;dr How much can should I reduce and can I do it with lenses instead of glasses? I'm currently using -2.5 lenses on both eyes when outside/work and -1.5/-1.75 at home only when on PC, otherwise "naked"._* Maybe I should give it a try again. I don't know how much to reduce though. Last time I went for prescription was like 6-7 years ago and since then I wear my lenses (-2.5 both eyes) while outside/at school/university/work/etc. At home I still use my old glasses (-1.5 left / -1.75 right) for PC only. When I'm not on PC I don't use anything. My vision hasn't improved for the ~7 years I'm doing it, but it hasn't gotten (much if at all) worse either, I easily passed the eye test for driver license, without active focus cheating, but I was kinda lucky, it was one of those days where vision is really good.

[@postproduction2339]

@@rajatr5003It's still going pretty good, my eyesight steadily keeps improving, going through the last diopter now. AF is very very effective and probably the most important in getting my vision back, especially when doing it for a couple of hours at a time, for me it works best when I deliberately go somewhere and start focusing on things around me at a nice distance (i prefer buildings a few km away the most) . I really like to look at things that I can see less clearly and try to see them better by blinking at them in a relaxed way because after a few tries I can and everything else closeby clears up a lot as well. So I would say Af is great for getting improvements.

[@arnabdc]

Very interesting!

[@richenjoshi7054]

maybe I am wrong here, I am prescribed a lens of power -2D which means that my eyes can normally focus on a distance of 0.5m or 50cm. Nowadays, I am not wearing glasses anymore since last 7 days, and now I can focus on a small text on my laptop at a distance of 68.5cm. I used to see the same text appearing in double lines when I started this practise. Is it a placebo effect or this process is actually working?

[@DrACAPELLAS]

I swear I’ve been only wearing graded sunglasses one in awhile (I have -1/1.25) and doing active focus and relaxing the eye and not wearing glasses I swear I’m already starting to see better and I’ve started like a very small time

[@DrACAPELLAS]

Sometimes I also wonder if it’s placebo but I think not

[@maswad]

Great to hear that from optometrist, but what's that light therapy called again, photositonic something? How do you spell that?

[@chimmysignatures7394]

I love this, thanks.

[@megm9833]

Would the eyes then equalize in how they see by just keeping the lenses symmetrical (assuming you're doing something to train it too)? I always felt awkward about asymmetric spherical power, like it wasn't the right prescription.

[@juliesteinhauer267]

Meg they CAN but often we have to re-train the brain to correct the asymmetry.

[@OIOnaut]

I feel my take is wrong and more suttle things have to be incorporated. What am I doing wrong? I guess I am cutting corners. I am near sighted but no longer choose to use glases. But I can make distant images clear just by focusing with one eye alone. I do this on the line of sight by bringing the image closer as I focus. Think of target shooting. So with both eyes open, it is a double image, but it is in focus. Like viewing a X-eyed type stereograph. I would like to decode this optical finding of mine. Do optical glasses combine these two sharp images for me, and if so, do I have to gradually train the brain to bring them back together? I ask this, since I noticed the target of focus moving slightly to the side and also getting smaller in size so I know it is optical as is with minus lenses. Is this active focus thing entirely a different thing. You never see a clear image, but gradually push the borderline distance of fuzzy and clear hoping the brain to catch up. I can understand a drawing and am familiar with optical theory. But I do not know what my own body is trying to tell me nor what is the difference between the science and my own perception. I would like someone (who sees where I am going with this) to comment. My most gratitude and deepest appologies for your lost time
