Myopia: A Modern Yet Reversible Disease - Todd Becker, M.S. (AHS14)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ส.ค. 2014
- Myopia, or near-sightedness, is generally assumed to be an irreversible, genetically determined condition that can only be ameliorated with corrective lenses or surgery. Its prevalence is 30-40% in the U.S. and Europe, and more than 50% in some Asian countries, but it is rare in Africa and in pre-industrial cultures. The incidence of myopia correlates with IQ, school achievement, and industrialization, suggesting that an environmental factor is at work-namely, near-work. This talk will review the biology and epidemiology of myopia and present experimental evidence that myopia can be reversed naturally by specific focusing techniques and practices.

I saw this video about one year ago, and have been used this method since then; so far my left eye went from -1,50 to -1,00 and right eye went from -2,25 to -2,00. I consider this to be a outstanding improvement to a "uncurable condition" as people say.
Did you do any surgery?
This is bullshit, you conspiracy theory follower
You know that 0,25 dp is considered normal fluctuation right?
Please, get a Snellen.
Pass the 20/50 line.
Otie Brown what is a snellen?
I had -7.50 in both eyes and a full year later I now have -5.50 in both eyes. This method works!! Thanks so much for this video
Todd is correct, of course.
I started at 20/50, estimated -1 D.
After about 7 months, began passing 20/30 on my Snellen.
THAT IS SUCCESS, IT PASSES ALL DMV TESTS.
Continued wearing, and no minus, now 20/20.
The best part?
It did not cost me any money - just Todd's knowledge and persistence.
It is admittedly difficult to get out of more than that.
Good luck, however.
how long it takes to get this result?
Helen Xiao probably half a year
i have the exact prescription as your previous prescription (-7.5) and i was wondering if you used a different prescription for viewing this up close and if so, what was it?
go away I used -2.00 for close up
I once noticed an improvement in my eyesight after spending few days in nature without my glasses.
lior levi should I go live in a forest for a year then?
@@Michael89240 lol
@@Michael89240 in suburban area you'll see nature just by going outside the house.
@@Michael89240 Wearing a plus, at 20/50, for a year, accomplishes the same thing. Refractive state changes in a positive direction.
@@otiebrown9999 what is a “plus?”
You know when you find a doctor when his frame is all about explaining how things cannot be healed or fixed without him help. You see, Todd is different, he empowers you!!
Todd is an original "creative thinker".
As an Engineer, he is not intimidated by "official medical thinking".
He just started checking "wires", and saw better vision.
The plus, makes scientific sense.
From "first principles", the minus makes no scientific sense - at all.
So he took the plunge, at 20/60, and got back to PASS the DMV, and then gradually, to 20/20, or positive refractive STATE.
It will never be easy.
You must understand it.
@@otiebrown9999 Doctors are pretty narcisists, passive agressiveness in their speech. They want to be pleased, like a old lady who lost their beauty. They learnt how to make people feel bad with word that insinuante people are dumb and fool, in an enigma, using a riddle. People feel pretty bad after talking with them, they make people feel juldged, in a "bad trance" or in an another new strong mental suggestion -- that increase tension and even myopia.
They think "this person should be fool by talking to me and not noticing I am just taking money from his wallet without explaining nothing."
The mechanism is the same as the bullying, sarcasm, irony, riddles, masochism. Many of these patterns are connected to sexual problems, the sensuality not finding ways to express itself creates this dynamic of hunter, narcisism and selfishness.
That's why many old books as Bible, Quran and Torah tell about Evil Spirit ruling the World.
They think they are smarter than us, by making statements in a passive way in a authoritary way but passive, then you realize that they just want you to obey them, pay them money. In many scenarios, they are useless. That is why many old books say myopia is lack of courage, assertiveness, focus, testosterone, activity, sexual power, initiative, etc.
In anothet hand, people as Todd and you as well, who have no problem with your own energy, you all are in the leading front of human kind technology, like Elon Musk and many others.
@@otiebrown9999 A friend of mine wanted to be admitted to the police. It was his dream.
At the medical examination, the private ophthalmologist (here at our town) told him with a masochistic smile, "Looks like you're going to need glasses." (My friend replicate the weird smile when he was telling me the episode)
He didn't listen.
During the admission process for the Police, within the police medical department it was verified that his vision was perfect.
If he had followed the doctor's advice in 2019, today he would probably be yet another victim of arrogance and incompetence arising from iatrogenics (medical error in treatment).
all professions are like this - thank self-preservation and greed
I’m a software engineer so found his solution great. I am currently at 20/30 in both eyes from 20/70 right eye and 20/100 left eye. Currently wearing +2.5 when doing close up 30 minutes at a time.
bless this man. Hard to find intelligent people willing to share something involved with money.

Todd is a true scientific leader.
When at 20/60, he commits himself to long- term plus wearing for all near work. When he cofirms passing the DMV, at 20/40, he quits wearing the minus.
Continued wearing the plus - slowly gets him to 20/20.
Todd presents this science to us.
Further - his information is free - to all who will learn.
Most people refuse to learn this science.
God bless him!
Opticians are corrupt
@@otiebrown9999 so what should one with -2 myopia wear for the treatment?
@@us3804 probably +1 or no lenses for print focushing. When you are not pushing wear -1.75 or 1.50 glasses SPH glasses.
And the exercise that sounded really attractive is walking in nature looking at details - that is just pure joy
Anyone have a link to his sources?
From India - Myopia - 1.... Done everything as suggested by sir then 4 months Myopia reduced to - 0.75 and now after 6 months it is - 0.5. Process is slow but it definitely works. Thank you so much sir... For your research. May God bless you sir. Whole hearted thanks.
Excellent progress!!
I suggest getting a permant Snellen, on the wall, and you exceed the official requirement - of passing the 20/40 line DMV, and keep vision better than that level.

My son got shortsighted. I almost cried from unhappiness and disappointment when the optometrist said ‘There is no way to correct it, it will only get worse and worse and need to wear glasses and contact lenses to slowdown the progression of myopia’. But I looked for the way to help my son, and I found this video. I almost cried from happiness when I was listening to Todd. I am now working with my son everyday on active focusing… we hope we can get normal vision back for him after couple of years. Thank you Dr. Todd. Bow to you Sir. :)

Don't wear lenses when doing close up work.
Practice active vision . Have good quality outside time.
Most importantly search up Jake Steiner and follow his advice.
Bates method is kind of a scam so don't waste your time.
Follow Jake steiner advice especially in the beginning.
Also try listening to audio instead of staring at the screen for hours
@@titanking5956 thanks dude btw i am following jake steiner
This really worked for me. My eye strain reduced, my eye pressure reduced, my eyesight improved from 20/80 to 20/25. Just a little more to go until I'm back at 20/20. I'm almost ready to redo my vision test at my local motor vehicle department so that I can legally drive without "corrective wear".. No words can describe my gratitude toward Todd. Sir, you are a hero to me. I salute you.
HI Why-me! Congratulations ! I consider always passing the 20/30 line (always pass the DMV) to be a major success for anyone. Now you can totally avoid wearing a minus lens - because you pass the DMV. But the "last phase", to get to the 20/25 to 20/20, is indeed very slow. But you won the most important part of true prevention. Self-confirmation - is the only objective truth - that matters.
If I ever get that low I will without a doubt give plus lenses a shot, I want to achieve 20/20 vision one day and I am prepared to do whatever it takes. Anything is better than going through a laser surgery.
Hi Smooth - "Why Me" is successful, when he objectively reads the 20/40 line - on, "Home Snellen". (Pass DMV). He is very lucky. If you have "weak prescription", get that Snellen. Forget "pleasing" your OD. You got to please your self - and you must be legal. OD have no idea - how to help you -- at all.
I am using Snellen chart so I know for a fact I am at -2 diopters.
are you serious? please give me an update. has your vision improved? has it stayed good?

Doctors kept prescribing me stronger and stronger glasses, till I said STOP! After -5.0 I started to lower it myself, I am currently at -2.00. I do not wear glasses nonstop, just when really needed.
100% correct.
How long did it take to get to -2.0
Please tell the duration
@@user-xe5ts7rk3h About 0.5 per year, so roughly 5 years, my eyesight improved during summer, not so much in the winter, as said in South Korea's study, sunlight helps, whether it is D3 or something else. Actually B17 forced me to do it, I like to test supplements and my eyes started to hurt when wearing glasses, because it helped, I did not even take it for eyes, so it was unexpected, not placebo. I am actually taking bromelain and taurin for eye floaters.
Can you tell us the steps
Such a great talk. I finally convinced with the science behind natural restoration. I love the humility and simplicity in his approach. I'm gonna make it for sure,because i believe.
Belief is not what causes eyes to change. Reversing myopia can be a lengthy process. Belief keeps you motivated to continue doing the things that will eventually reverse myopia.
One of the BEST Videos on youtube, no joke! To get your vision back to normal, priceless!
Isaac Halep did u try it?
Isaac Halep correct, but you must be at about 20/60 to use Todds plus lens techniques.

What did you do to improve your eyesight?
Thank you very much Dr Todd Becker , I could restore my natural vision after believing you and practised for one year. My myopia is completely reversed .
Hi Arkaya,
We greatly appreciate Todd, and your efforts!
I measured my eyes going from 20/50 ( -1 Diopter) to, 20/20 (+0.5 Diopters) in about one year.
It is tragic that no one is offered this disciplined alternative, when they can have the scientific insights to do recovery - at that point in their lives.
May I ask what kind of exercises did you do? 🙏🥺
@@bernadettosvay-szabo7620 try dr.Bates excersises! They work for me!!! Combine with this and the improvement is must faster than the people in the comments say! It's about 1- 2 per month or even more!!!!!

@@bernadettosvay-szabo7620 how is it going with your eyes
In July, I went to the optometrist for a new prescription which was - 4.75 in each eye. He said my vision was 20/500. Basically that means I couldn't even see the E on the Snellen chart. He wanted to do a glaucoma test. I found it puzzling since I'm only 27 and figured that glaucoma was an old person's disease, but upon research I learned something different. Myopia is a leading risk factor, not only of glaucoma but retinal detachment. I've been to several optometrists (both in Canada and the U.S) but this was never discussed with me. I was lead to believe my only real answer was glasses or laser surgery. I did some eye exercises briefly last year, only for a week or two and not consistently. I didn't have patience with it and gave up too easily. However, this time I was resolved to give this a second try... and I came across this wonderful video. I've now incorporated active focus and print pushing into my daily routine, along with a few other eye exercises, and have seen amazing results. In the last five weeks, I've managed to reverse 5 years of vision deterioration. I'm now on a pair of glasses I used in 2014, which I can even drive with now. This prescription is a whole diopter lower. I just want to say "Thank you."
Good and brave to face this difficult situation.
Todd has my vote for scientific homesty.
Did you have astigmatism?
Are these comments even real? 1. You've never worn glasses in your past 6 years of videos or seemed to need them (it is possible for an observer to tell if someone has high myopia just from seeing how they lock onto unfocused objects) 2. It is not possible even with this method to reverse myopia that fast, especially at 27 yrs old
@@haoyingjin4450 Bro there is something called contact lenses
@@haoyingjin4450 No, it's not real. All fake. Also the Earth is flat. Just continue with your day. Seems like this topic upsets you.
😢 When I was a kid, this kid in my school came in school and I was like woow thats cool, and I wanted glasses, now I regret having them.
I feel you brother 😭
me too :-(
Same for me
same
My sister had contacts and me too :(
I've been doing this for like 2 years and it really does work. You just gotta be patient, at least in my case my vision improves quite slowly. But as Mr. Becker said, you have to keep in mind how long it took your myopia to develop. It's just logical that you need quite a while to reverse this whole process.
are you back to 20/20? and is that 2 years what it took to get from -1.00 to 20/20?
Are you still doing it?

I am pretty sure he is still doing it. If it doesn't work, no one would do this longer than a month. For him, it is 2 years. For me, i am on my 2nd month.
Can I do active focus with a weaker prescription ? It's because my myopia is severe.
I had 20 20 vision during the lockdown being on my phone all day all the sudden I noticed while I am driving my vision was sort of burly looking at distance objects. I went to the doctor he gave me glasses but when I asked him about improving my vision, he was basically like too bad you are stuck with me kind of approach. This makes totally sense if you don’t have any other condition in your eyes.
Todd has the correct idea.
I wear a plus, and am back to 20/20.
Good luck.
Super sensible stuff, I'm going to implement these exercises. Thanks Todd!
I've always suspected that glasses make your vision worse. Seems like all glasses wearers' eyesight gets progressively worse, almost linearly. This seems like common sense to me. And the comments are making me feel hopeful...I might try this.
Me too! My sister started at -2 and now she's -5 because she wears them ALL the time even using computers. I was -0.75 and I barely wear my glasses and now I'm -1. I always thought if I'm forcing my eyes to never try to focus to infinity then it'll just adapt to near sight. This just confirms everything I've ever thought. I'm off to buy some plus lenses now
Do seem like everybody in my generation wears glasses or contacts. I be like who's the new girl with the glasses. I get a good look and say oh she's not new, look different with glasses.
For real then (yet to see the video)? Sometimes opticians asked me why i don't use my glasses (i'm -2 / -1 ) and i would say : why should i? I've always suspected too that not forcing your eyes to work they would get lazy. The opticians say the its the other way around....
yes I agree I wore glasses from a very young age, now at 70 yr old I decided to do with out them for a couple of years and take some vitamins...my vision has improved somewhat. glasses don't help vision.

Hi,
Todd gets prevention RIGHT, when I was 20/60.
I slowly got out of it.
Hi, Todd Becker! When I was 6 years old, I was cross-eyed due to a head injury in 1961. My mother was very dedicated on encourage me to practice and do eye exercises. Which I have continued all my life and I have been able to keep from needing glasses, even after Cataracts lens replacement. Personally I hate wearing glasses. Thank you!
Excellent.
Avoiding a minus lens - is success!
okay, this will be a true challenge... bc being over 50 with a typical bookworm focus of - 8... still, I am so excited
Clear and actionable. Thanks!
OK, set back, look from a distance, play with your eyes, trace everything, thank you so much for the guidance

Thank you so much! I was most worried about the double vision. Now I can practice getting the lines to go together! Wow! Bless you! I am greatly encouraged!
Hi,
I use the plus, and back to 20/20.
It is safe to use.
Im so desperate to find a solution to this. Having myopia had affected my life to a point that I get depressed when I realized this has no treatment but this video give me hope. Thanks!

Great talk, looking forward to going through these suggestions... many thanks
Really happy I woke up this morning
best speech ever. it's modivated to do more exercise for my eyes
Bro,how did it go?did u find desired details?
I have myopia for over 25 years but I did experience on rare occasions I could see normally. Now I realize why. I will try this exercice more often
I finally returned to clear vision, because I do what Todd did. I also used my own Snellen to confirm my success.
Perhaps you can succeed.
I read a book about curing your eyesight naturally a long time ago. I was convinced but eventually was persuaded that improving eyesight couldn’t happen. Now thanks to this video, I’ll pick up my efforts again.
How did it go after 3 years?
How did it go, or did you die?
So glad I came across this video. Such great information.

Hi Rama -
More courage to you!
I will post a, "Computer Snellen", so you can estimate you Visual Acuity.
The standard we must eventually pass is DMV mandated. That is read 20/70, and 20/40.
Both eyes open, 20/40.
If you are close to these value, you can learn a great deal, and profoundly improve your vision.
Any update?

Re driving/night vision becoming more difficult as we get older: when headlamp glare and bright lights become a problem, and reading black letters on a bright white background becomes difficult, this is often a sign that cataracts are forming .

That is indeed the case.

Hi Pius,
I did an exhausting effort to confirm, as science.
I am now reading 20/20 on my Snellen Eye Chart at home, very consistently.
I discovered this on my own when I was training my autistic child's bed time routine. Every night I would be in his room for 45 mins. In the pitch darkness. In the corner of the room 15 feet away was a digital clock with 2" red letters. Bored, I would make the blurred letters come together best I could. Over a few months I discovered I was getting better at it. When I visited my optometrist later that year, my vision had improved by 0.5 D. She discounted it by saying is was my age and then tricked me into trying RK. What a disaster. I can't wait to never go back! Thanks
Rocka fella medicine.
How is your eyes now?
@@zaryalace7475yep, evil fxxkers profiting from making us sick or needy, makes me feel sick 💔😡
I could write a book on this. I’ve gone through many iterations of this until finally figuring out what worked for me. The problem I was having was putting too much emphasis on consciously controlling my focus which would cascade to strain on my extraocular muscles. General eye strain would inevitably set in and the effort would end in frustration. This went on for a loooong time. I eventually had surgery which bridged a chunk of the gap, but I realized to my dismay after the settling period that my night vision was still haloed and poor and my day vision was still very compromised. This went on for a year after surgery. The blessing from surgery is it still created less strenuous conditions for me to learn proper techniques. It also put me in a frame of mind that I simply had to figure it out, since I couldn’t rely on surgery to fix everything. What finally worked for me was realizing that I needed to create conditions for my eyes to do their own work. And I had to deliberately fight against the predisposition to force it along (my primary bad habit). So, well lit spaces, low stress, giving the eyes time to decide when they were going to relax and accommodate to the far detail I was gazing upon. It took a couple months to accomplish what I couldn’t do previously no matter how hard I tried. Previously I would have some successes and my eyes would seem like they were progressing, but overstrain would inevitably disrupt that success and send me into discouragement. But this time, with my revised approach, I got over that hump, and understood better the bad habits that engendered the original issue from third grade, I have had excellent eyesight since. I finally felt confident enough to go get my eye exam as part of my flight physical for pursuing a PPL. They declared me greater than 20/20, and I know from looking at my eye chart on a daily basis for the prior couple months I never would’ve passed otherwise, nor would I have wanted to fly in that state, especially in low light conditions.
When your eyes start to accommodate, it can sometimes create a light stinging sensation and eye watering. This dissipates as your eyes adjust to the new normal. I cannot over emphasize enough: you have to get out of your head. This is where I believe the Gym/exercise analogy may fail people. Your subconscious focusing faculty has to drive this process and you only need to create the conditions for it to do so. By the way, a good nights sleep and hydration, etc. are essential, or your eyes will simply not play ball. Also, there is something to be said for perhaps needing to learn this process under less strenuous conditions. For example if your present vision is very bad, as mine was, you may need partial accommodation to be able to relax learn the correct passive technique and then you can lose the crutch. Or as he did here, find the edge of focus. I had a hard time doing that. Also, reading especially during work on a computer, is more strenuous than what is needed here. Lightly look at text. That’s different from reading. Hope this helps, and that people can learn from my mistakes.
Hi Eric,
An excellent report.
I am a pilot also, and check for my own vision on my Snellen for 20/20.
I also wasted my time attempting to get truth our of medicne.
They seem to want to "protect themselves", rather than being honest with me about the truly adverse effect a minus lens always has on my vision - when I start wearing a minus.
I need scientific honesty from them - when I am 20/40 - that they will never provide.
Great!
It lookes like the mind doesnt want embrace the light, the full picture. I think these days that we are holding something on our minds that prevents us to enable eyes do its work.
In another words, we are constantly fighting our thoughts/values/ and losing our senses.
Mind is like a blue sky, thoughts its like clouds, they come and go. What does make clouds come and go? Wind.
Wind here is our breathing pattern, when we stop breathing properly we get lost on our thoughts.
Thoughts trigger eye scans, as William James said 150 years ago.
Then Bates pointed that eyes should move more together with the head in order to not trigger a lots of thoughts and nervous system pattern/reflex.
People on myopia are living in a storm of heavy clouds, they need a blue sky with proper Wind blowing.
They need relaxation through some human reflex like diving reflex, floating on a pool, bouncing on a hammock, walking barefoot, and never stop breathing.
Great and logical comment (unlike the replies rambling about distrust of authority and mindless philosophy lol). Thank you. I always wondered if i shouldve tried to actively focus my eyes far.

@Ineffable Lavender Basically push yourself to where you can barely read it and when you can read it clearly. Keep going between them.
Fantastic presentation! Thanks!!!!!
I can see a massive connection between people going through academic education and wearing glasses.
I find science students tend to do the hardest subjects and usually myopia develops pre 16 and post; the earliest sign.
I have 3 nieces who all have developed myopia and in full time education.
The amount of stress the eyes are going through during close up work is harmful.
I was extremely good at math for years ! Now I have very high prescription glasses. Unfortunately I’m nearsighted.
Our eyes are directly connected to our brains. So when we stress out, our eyes strain. Maybe our education model is completely wrong if it's hurting us. And our medical model is also wrong by not helping our health.
@@zaryalace7475 I agree. I don't agree with this workaholic-type of study program.
This Is well estabilished medical knowledge. Myopic peapole see easily from near, without muscolare effort, so if whan you are still developoning work most from near distanze, your body helps you and adapt to see easier from near.
Just you can not Reverse It, because Is the Eye that became physichally longer..
What you said the true reason behind general eyesight loss. It’s due to straining the eyes from mainly electronic screens.
It is nice to see Todd go from 20/50 to 20/20 by self measurement.
Tragically, no one else even looks at a Snellen to verify.
This is the best history of the problem and its solution.
The mainstream eye professionals would try their best to discourage people from trying this method. Its a shame!
@@arnabdc Yes, they discourage scientific honestly.
Much Respect for Todd Becker sir, came here after years and i would have to admit that Endmyopia and Vision2020 were born from this study.
Rajdeep Singh Sidhu (Rajdeep Sekha)
A great result.
20/50, to 20/20.
No problem.
Doing it yourself, with your own Snellen, is the only right way!
Thanks Todd.
My myopia went from -3.25 to -2.00 in one year, confirmed by my eye doctor. The only life styles changes I had during that year are more time spending outdoors and not using any glasses for near work.
Hi Ros:
An excellent result.
Few people have the courage to do it.
Zenni Optical helped me reduce my myopia to almost zero, now I often forget my glasses when going for a ride. I also take C60.
Yes this true, I was doing retailer census for a market research company and have to go though every single shop note shop name by reading billboards, then look for items like cold drinks chillers and icecream freezers etc. After some time I do realized improvement in myopia, this was self experience. It is very detailed content and trust me these tricks will work.
This is an accurate scientific presentation - for all fundamental eyes.
This assumes that you are willing to understand it that way.
As a practical matter, it is possible to work your way back to normal, if you are willing to start this process when you are still reading your Snellen in the range of 20/50, to 20/60.
Yeah , sure
I went without glasses for a month once and my eyesight improved by 1 diopter.
Good, now sustain it.
Get a Snellen, and check for 20/50.
After progressing to -3.25 + -3.50 with contacts over 20 years a new optometrist suggested monovision. It's completely in sync with what you propose and I now wear no lenses at all.
That is a great idea. There is a normal difference between the eyes of 1 diopter. (They are very lucky)
If you have 0 diopters in one eye, you read 20/20.
If you have -1 diopters, in the other eye, 20/50, perhaps.
But if you are older than 45, you have natural Monovision.
Clear vision, from infinity, to 20 inches.
No glasses at all, until age 80.
Thanks for the information!! Very good info!!
Will start this excercise from Today.
Good luck and skill.
I was WAITING for nutrition to be mentioned.. I'm so glad he finally touched on it @39:00
merncat75 Not enough though. I would say vitamin A is a huge necessity. Not beta carotene.
@@valkyrie1010 agreed
Don't overuse plus. It could also be harmful at some extent. So don't exaggerate,
The main things to do to improve are the called "Active Focus" (or fushing gosted image focusing) and print pushings, as the essentials.
Can I use .5 less than prescribed?
Amitabh joshi Yes, but don’t go any lower than that. Blur adaptation enhances if you do and that is not good for your eyes.

@@jmc8076 Umm..
Thanks TH-cam for this recommendation.
Thank you. I'm so lucky to see this video accidently today.
I am pleased that Todd got the correct scientific concept, and took steps to protect his daughters distance vision - for life!
" I shall try this method..."
I wish all who say this ... ABSOLUTE SUCCESS!
I am total supporter of Todd.
I believe he has complete science supporting him, and his success in clearing his Snellen back to reasonable normal.
HOW EVER, let me add these suggestions.
1) Get a Bright Snellen. (Confirm you can read, or make out the 20/60 line. That is 1 inch letters at 20 feet.)
2) Your prescription? I can only hope, it in the range of -1 Diopter, to -2 Diopters.
3) Any recover, means long term wearing a plus for all near work. At least one year.
Other than that, recovery costs you no money, of consequence.
But great personal resolve and intelligence is required of you.
Good skill and luck!
I am a doctor with high myopia.I find this so logical that though I am just going to start this technique,deep in my heart I am feeling that it would work.Only this is curative,every other is palliative meassures like glasses,contact lenses or even LASIK.Thank you sir.🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am an Engineer, looking for scientific reason and logic.
I found an Optometrist, who helped his own children - with life time plus prevention.
Todd is correct, as science.
You're a "doctor" who does things because you think they're real "deep in your heart"? wtf? You're a quack watching a quack's video
@@AndyThomasStaffso, are you saying doctors could not ever have an open mind?
Are you saying science works replicating the ol same shit?
You sound so smart. Lol
I hope you are not close to work helping people.
What a depressed mind you have.
World full of doctors and engineers . Google college light educated ?
Thank you for the video. It is very helpful.
This just gave me some Hope😔🤗
Yes, this does work. I wear monthly contacts. My vision was -4.25 rt eye & -4.00 lt eye. My doctor suggested mono-vision lenses about 10 yrs ago, for distance and mid-range. But the longer I was using them my near vision got worse and started using cheaters for EVERYTHING.
My new doctor worked with me and we changed to a -1.75 rt eye & -.50 lt eye, therefore I didn't need cheaters but did need driving glasses. That wasn't so bad.
Now my distance has improved to -2.75. Yay!
It is good to have an OD helping and supporting you!
Yes, it is working for me.
Hi, my son has -4 and -3.75. He is 9 and we found out he had -3 and -3.25 last year. We stay home quite a bit since we homeschool this year but last year I blamed the distance learning and me not aware that this could happen. I am very determined to help him. Last year the optometrist was blaming my husband saying its genetics. However, I dont believe he got it genetically. I am interested in how your optometrist help to reduce yours and I am thinking about asking his optometrist would work with us. Thank you! If not, I am thinking about ordering less prescription glasses in a progressive manner, like -0.25 to 0.5. Can you share how you reduce yours? Thank you
@@krazdomino4882 bro what are his results any changes plz say bro
@@krazdomino4882how's your Son's vision now, please update , mine also same

how is your eye has it imprived after 2 weeks?
Heyyy has it helped at all????

This guy makes most sense out of all the eye doctors I’ve talked to.
26:00
I literally cry on this....
Just makes me mad for the real beauty of the world 😭
I cry also.
If only a wise OD would have helped me wear the plus at 20/50, I would have verified getting back to 20/20.
@@otiebrown9999 i had an immense progression of -0.75 within just 5 months.....I mean using specs , I gained a power of -0.75
The beauty is not out there... It takes a certain mind/soul to see it. It is in there. Be grateful for your gift.
1 million views.
Congratulations, for Todd Becker, on your successful recovery from nearsightedness.
It is never easy!
Yes, myopia is completely preventable, if you are willing to start your program before you go below 20/50 on your personal Snellen Eye Chart.
I truly enjoy wearing a plus (for prevention) and confirming my Home Snellen at 20/20.
Thank you!
But my Snellen score is about 20/200...
What can I do?
hey can you plz explain me in basic English what should I do to improve my eyesight. I can't understand the video becoz I only know basic English.
Plz explain me. I'll be great full
@@nikita2413 You should do the exercises that are talked about at 18:50
I was first diagnosed at 40 and my eyes progressively got worse each year. Finally plateaued and now slowly getting better in my 60's. However now the hyperopia is getting bad.
An excellent, clear scientific concept for recovery from mild myopia, by Todd!
For me, I hope you can still read the 20/50 line on your Home Snellen, on a regular basis, with no minus lens.
Todd's, "blurry Telephone Lines test is good, but you must be objective, yourself.
I also include the need for four minus test lenses, (for $28) because no OD will ever help you get out of it.
Since I will not "dispute", badly warped medical concepts, I measure my refractive STATE, as slightly negative, at first. (20/50) This is to avoid the claim that I am "practicing medicine on myself".
It takes a certain amount of personal boldness to commit yourself to long term self prevention, with a plus lens for near.
Either you have scietific motivation, or you do not succeed.
Always set REASONABLY goal, you measure yourself.
I.e., eventually PASSING, the required DMV lines, at 20/70, and 20/40.
20/20, is nice, but seldom required.
For me (talking about students), plan for long term plus lens wearing.
This was proven in a scientific study of the plus and the normal eye - in my judgment.
I know you will hate the idea.
But, for me, there is no other choice, when I am at 20/50.
Eye charts are not scientific. They resemble your eyesight's proficiency based on many factors. They dont actually represent your myopia. You need to get diagnosed by a machine to get your actual prescription. Myopia is the lengthening of your eyeballs. You can also get better vision by strengthening your eye muscles but that does not mean your actual myopia changed

Todd is doing a great job!
Getting "a reduced lens" from any OD is almost impossible.
Getting him to help you!
That is why I get my TEST LENSES from Zennioptical.
Two pair for $28.
Yes, he was close enough to 20/50, so he could correctly use a plus for a myopia prevention role.
I use a Snellen for my efforts, starting at 20/50 (-1 Diopter).
Success is a long-term process.
Don't kid yourself.
I think a dedicated pilot, at 20/60, could slowly get to 20/40, passes FAA 3rd CLASS (private pilot) and eventually to 20/20.
It would take two years - my estimate.
I am pleased Todd made himself successful.
36:00
Todd is the only person working, almost completely alone, to help you with recovery.
Give him a break.
It is completely possible to measure your own refraction!
Takes some skill to do it, but we all can do it.
As an EE, I do it.
But it starts with a Snellen at 20/50.
what if I can't read 20/50 line? I can read 20/100 and I wear -1,5D glasses.
My instincts always told me to take a break and look at the most distant thing like a mountain. I thought that we are always looking at short distances in our modern live. Must be logical that our eyes adapt to looking at short distances.
As pure science, you are 100% correct.
Medical people, hate conversations about scientific truth, for all fundamental eyes.
Mom always told us not to sit so close to the television!
@@dpage9346 I don't think it's just that, I think it's also the amount of time you spend outside, in the sun. Children who spend all day outside almost never have myopia because sunlight can change the shape of your corneas, as your eyes adapt to seeing in the light, outside where things are far away. Myopia happens if you spend most of your days indoors, only getting 2-3 hours of sunlight. Your corneas will become deformed over time, children nowadays are quarantined and very rarely go outside. Sunlight are one of the key components to good eyesight
26:00
It is incredibly liberating, to get back to normal, and then no more minus lens glasses - for me!
Just wearing a plus as I type this on my Cell, and confirming 20/40, and better, is my success.
DID YOU USE PLUS LENSES FOR CLOSE UP IF YES, OF WHAT DIOPTRES?
@@vivanranjan261 -
Yes, with both intelligence and motivation.
Going from 20/50 (-1 D.) to 20/20 in one year.
For 20 inches, I wear a +2.5 Diopter.
For 13 inches, I wear a +3.5 Diopter.
In both cases, the intent is to get rid of all near work, as completely.
The Optics, are basic science.
Wearing a +2.75 as I type this.
Then I read my Snellen at 20/20.
Thank you for some great info. People think I am a crazy sungazing vision fanatic.
Does anyone else feel that doctors are intimidating and cause stress? I hate speaking up to tell him he is wrong. I mean I hate myself later for being such a nice guy, er gal, a wimp. Getting a weaker prescription is like getting a needle in the back. I finally got glasses at eyebrightdirect instead of Zenni. More frame choices. After I lost my $400 -4.00 after 4 months, I got a pair of -3.50 $37 with UV, anti-glare lighter lenses. Still have those after a year! My next pair will be -0.50 with anti-glare for screen viewing. Not wearing contacts.
Someone asked about astigmatism. I went to Kaiser for $80 glasses. Walked out with $380 corrective glasses. Made me so dizzy I felt like losing it. He said to wear them all the time. Fine, but when my eyeballs want to self correct, they didn't work. Then when I took them off, I had better be close to a bed. They were so bad I took them back. My eyeball is warped because I got smacked in the eye by the end of the doohicky at the end of elastic on a jacket when I was working for TSA.
Sussana Lee $380 for astig? You were ripped off by that OD.
How much Dioptres have u improved
doctors who follow what they teach them in med school are always wrong. they're virtually brainwashed criminals
Thanks! I will try. I’m releasing chilhood trauma with walks in nature and I notice that my myope improve so i searched information. I think is both. The physical and the emotional because also tenses de body. 🙂🌱
I love how everybody that asked questions you can tell obviously didn't pay attention to the presentation and the previously asked questions👍
Hi Dave,
You are 100% Correct. Todd is not perfect, but he is accurate with the science of the eye's behavior.
I was working for an optometrist when I was in my early 30's. I was an optometric assistant. His wife paid me but never gave me a stub, so she paid me $500/month, and with 80 miles round trip of driving to and from work, that wasn't enough. So I reverted to eating Top Ramen, and I KNEW at the time that wasn't a good thing. SO I worked there a year and at the end of the year , my perfect non cavitied teeth, one of them imploded and I had to have an enormous filling (I tried to make sure it was composite and not mercury but by golly they put in mercury. THAT didn't help).But also, near the end of my employ, I had developed presbyopia , at 33, and had to have bifocals. I liked them but I also knew it was a sign of my general health. I knew that diabetics can have unstable vision. I knew that at that time, I had unstable astigmatism. One side would go soft and not focus, which would go away later in the day. I knew this was a sign of my health. While eating Top Ramen, i also couldn't even afford supplementation. Later, as I went into a better paying job (as a janitor ironically) and got back on better food and protein and supplements, I was able to put my bifocals away for years. It wasn't until I reached 43 that I had to wear my glasses again. Now coming out of another health challenge, which includes my inability to absorb, my eyes are improving again. At my worst, I was losing my distance vision, but now that is resolved, at 57. For awhile I was needing +3 readers, but Only for very fine font do I need those. For computer, I am down to +2. Besides the 90 essential nutrients in optimal doses but also a little more of certain ones I need. For vision, lutein and vitamin A (true A) and astaxanthin, krill oil, bilberry.
That was a fascinating story!
I think adding in some liver (very cheap) would have gone a long way in preventing this to an extent
Skip the supplements and eat plenty of colorful vegetables and dark leafy greens. Get some ALA from walnuts and flaxseeds. Legumes that contain folate and other helpful nutrients. And don’t forget onions and garlic. Eat whole plant foods skip the processed foods and oil’s and added sugars.
Regarding the question on screen use (31:54): I remember reading that since screen pixels have blurred edges, the eye is constantly trying to focus (automatically) back and forth, which strains the muscles and causes deterioration, which fits the spasm mechanism the speaker mentioned.
Therefore, even with screen technology improvements, it's probably better to read books rather than use a screen (LED/backlit-LCD).
It doesn't replace the exercises, just removes one of those "bad habits" he mentioned.
Thank you for this !!
What about if I'm using plus lenses and everything is blurry anyways?
My personal, "clarification ", of Todd's success, and to support him, and ODs who might want to help, you when you are at 20/50.
1) Mild nearsightedness, is not a disease. It is negative status, for the normal eye, that has been forced into a "long term near environment".
2) The normal eye is not a, "camera", although we all draw it to explain some issues. The normal eye is a dynamic system, at birth.
3) In a broad scientific sense, our normal eyes are responsive to.
A) Long term near, changing themselves from plus, or 20/20, to negative, or 20/50.
B) Exactly the same result occurs, when you force the normal eye, to wear a -2 Diopter lens.
Again, the same result, your eye goes from positive, 20/20, to 20/50, or negative status.
4) If you have a scientific mind, (A and B are the same) it is indeed possible to add these two scientific truths together, and conclude that "fixing" 20/50, with a minus lens, can only make the normal eye's refraction go even more negative.
I'm gonna try this
Thank you very much sir for saving my eysight
Todd Becker, has the science correctly.
I am pleased you made yourself successful.
This guy very knowledgeable. I am going start to do active focusing... glasses do more damage to your eyes
he speaks it well, he speaks it in an interesting understandable manner.
I agree.
wonderful!
There are different type of goals on this stuff:
- Seeing 20/40 on your own Snellen Chart.
- Sering 20/20 on your Snellen Chart.
- Pass the DMV test.
- Having better eyesight for distance.
- Having an optometrist conffirmation of improvement.
- Being less dependent of glasses.
- Improving over all health.
The list is giant and all goals are valid ones.
Hi CYBORG,
Item #5:
Optometrist heip?
Never going to happen.
That is why I use my own test lenses.
As an Engineer.
so is there a list or pdf or web page that tells you exactly what exercises to do step by step? Or a short video that gets to the chase? I saw this whole video but the tips seem to be scattered here and there and I don't want to miss something.
26:02 that was so motivating I have never been so motivated before in my life..thank you..that one line made my indides quiver with excitement that one day Ill be able to see without my glasses

@@otiebrown9999 I recently had my eyes checked up I never wore specks before...and I was diagnosed with -4 D...which was a huge shock to my Dad...he almost freaked out...so my doc recommended -3.5so it won't scare me too much...and she suggested lasik after 1 yr...I was depressed for a week...and found this...it uplifted my mood...now I can study without worrying too much abt my eyes...and if this works...I won't need a surgery after few yrs...I'd be just happy if my power reduces to -1....I'm not too old too..so I can wait for results...
@@amrutaingule6074 My experience.
They vastly over prescribe.
If you have no minus, you might consider reading a Snellen at home.
1 inch letters at 20 feet are 20/60.
Gonna start today
My vision improved after i started consuming lots of sunflower seeds (50g every day, i soak them overnight to make the soft & digestible without heating), they are especially high in vitamin E. And vitamin E protects your eyes. Vitamin E is quite hard to get from food. And the omega 6 LA in the seeds is also extremely beneficial.
I eat them with carrots, as beta carotene also converts into retinol and in itself is a potent antioxidant.
Vitamin E is in almost all oils. The biggest factor is time spent outside especially without glasses.
Thanks. What else is good for vision i mean foods.
What food is good for improving eyesight?
@@kittycatgirl1139 liver
My daughter has myopia, and she is only 8. We fear for the future trajectory. This talk gives us hope! Will definitely put it in practice! Thanks a lot!
@Debra Charles Thanks for suggestion. Wouldn't it be nice if it is that easy! We don't have a TV in the house (not because of her, we never see much value in TV even before her). We were late in the smart phone thing ourselves, so I don't know at what age it will become necessary for her to get her hands on a phone, but I don't see the urgency at age 8. Get rid of books, maybe :). We are rationing her reading time, but too little too late.
How is it going
14:30 Habits that trigger healthy adaptive responses by the body 30:48 references and websites
During my last visit to the Optometrist, I told him how I started using the TV browser when I looked up things online instead of my phone, so I forced myself to look at things from a distance. He shut me down right away, and he said, you are making it too complicated. I feel so much better using this method; even my eye floaters seem to be disappearing; I think when you force your eyes to do this kind of exercise, they begin using those proteins stuck in your eye.
Hi how are you now
Another related is schooling and inside people do not expose the eyes to natural sunlight. And studies have confirmed the need to be outside, exposed to natural light.
At 20/40, the plus is the same as living outside.
Yes, I stopped wearing sunglasses recently. Thought it would be too glary but it's fine.
I reduced my number from -1.5 to -0.75 by eating a lot of raw vegetables and not wearing my glasses at all for about 5 months!
That is great!
