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.

Awesome video, Jake! Really loving these animated videos. They’re short, clear, and concise, and everybody loves animation. Thank you so much for putting this information out there! Looking forward to future animated videos!
Hey Jake! Coming up in the world. Haha! This video is great! Bite sized info that people can quickly understand. Also very shareable. Good stuff! Soon I'm going to be telling people, "I knew this guy when it was just him ranting on camera." Haha!
Because of these online classes, I have reached the point where I have to search, "How to decrease my eye power?" Bruhhh these online classes really annoy me because they made my eyes go from -0.5-1.25 and I think they might be increasing. This is horrible
I honestly believe glasses do make our vision worse. Every year, I go my eyesight gets worse. And this time the doctor says. Yes your eyesight is worse and I say well it's a bad thing. An eye doctor's purpose is to only prescribe and not help the patient. Im losing hope now
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.
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!!!
@@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.
@@xxpowwowbluexx No moron YOU know wrong. If it is not in your genetics, it cannot happen with any lifestyle. Also do you even know what epigenetics means!? Cuz you literally contradicted your statement about it in the very next sentence. But here's a cookie for your effort though.
@@peachlife5118 my dad has 20/15 eyesight or probably even better. I have been myopic since 9 years old. So, it CAN happen even if Nobody had mypia in the family. My grandpa was in army (perfect vision) and my grandma (78 now) also has perfect vision. So, I guess your biology books need some catching up!🤣
Don't listen to this guy if u out pressure in your eyes u will get floaters and moreover it will damage ur retina and lead to retinal degeneration. Don't listen to him guys.
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?
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😊
I have been wearing glasses for about 5 years now, and I wore them almost the whole time for the first three years, then my eyes went from -0,75 to -1,75. I stopped wearing them, I didn't wear them in school nor at home watching TV and my eyesight got to -2. You are right, glasses do not make your eyesight better, they only make your eyes lazy and make your eyesight even worse. I am confident, I can get rid of my bad eyesight.
6 weeks not using glasses, eyes much better, don't know if they gona keep getting better but the improve i had so far is amazing, hope it keep getting better. Try use glasses a bit one day, big mistake, eye got so bad after. Less cellphone, no glasses, more outside time, hope this is enough.
I stopped wearing my glasses six months ago and my eyes are so much better! I’ve also been practicing the Bates method (finding it is why I chose to stop wearing lenses) and it’s really working for me😃
I have a question i wore glasses for 2 years and i was 1.5 now iam 2.2 but i dont want to wear glasses because i do sports and i cant watch tv comfortablly because i have to squint iam 14 should i just keep wearing my glasses or not since my age is a developing age
There is more involved, though, since you wouldn’t want to use that distance subscription for near work. (It would still be too strong for close up, causing hyperopic defocus.) A second pair of lenses for close-up work are called “differentials” on this channel.
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'm flattered but ... it's not "my theory". It's basic eye biology, validated by peer reviewed studies. Like this one: endmyopia.org/axial-change-myopia-science/
Optometrists are bullshit artists. They give me very sketchy vibes. I remember getting fitted for glasses by 3 different optometrists in a week (2 at the same shop) and all gave me a different prescription. How is that possible if your method is such a precise science!?🤔 As a Biology grad, I believe in your method Jake.. and I am going to give it a try. Nobody in my family history ever had vision this "bad" as I do.
@@samyakchhajed TBH no I did not as I'm in a tough spot: I'm a college student and in front of a computer all day!! This method requires you to limit close-up work and spend time without glasses everyday. It's just not practical for me right now considering I'm at -9 in both eyes but I'll give it a go once I graduate.
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?
Let me just tell you that you give me so much hope! Ik you get this question a lot but I have -4 left and - 3.5 right. Recommend what power of glasses I should get for close up work (studying, scrren-time etc.) It should be minus power right?
Have your glasses for close up work less than your actual prescription until you have a bit of blurriness while working close up. This is called differential glasses.
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.
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? I think I could have 7 D or smt like that (or more) :(.
Hi! I’m no eye doctor or anything, but I have been following Bates ‘Perfect eyesight without glasses’ method (it’s in his book, you can find it for free online or watch Nathan Oxenfelds videos about it) and he suggests not wearing glasses at all (if possible with your lifestyle of course) I stopped wearing my glasses six months ago and started practicing the Bates method and my eyes feel a lot better and I’ve noticed slowly my sight is getting better. I really feel like the Bates method is working for me, and I have -5 and -4 myopia
I know I'm annoying but still I know I can reduce these glasses but I have to work with computer and still doin 202020 thing but my vision is gettin worse any help
But bro what is the alternative to this...... This prblm is soo far stretched that my numbers have be -7...... Now I can barely understand things or daily life physics in dim lights...... Can't avoid glasses now wht to do
I've been wearing glasses for 3 years and now i am noticing a change in my eyeshape and i have myopia i think its getting a little bit curvey or big.. Am i getting my 20/20 vision back or Should i stop wearing glasses and check for 5 days or Should i keep doing active focus???
I think if i Remember i still have -3.45 on my left eye and -3.5 on my Right for my Eyesite to Not get worse should i Use my Glasses less or like what?
@@everydayfun9531 so MashAllah i can see properly without glasses (because my one eye is -2.5 and one eye is alright Alhamdulillah) Now should i use them because i fear may my -2 .5 eye could get worse.......if i don't use them
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 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 :)
안구는 액체로 가득찬 공임 앞쪽에는 가깝게 혹은 멀리 움직이는 flexible한 렌즈가 있고, 뒤쪽에는 retina라고 약한 신호를 받는 수신자가 있음. 이 둘의 정렬은 시력에 중요한 요소임. 그러나 액체로 가득한 공은 이 둘의 정렬에 좋지 못함(active control mechanism이 없다면). 빛이 retina 앞에 잡힌다면 안구는 수축하려 할 것임(axial reduction). 빛이 retina 뒤에 잡힌다면 안구는 늘어날 것임(axial elongation). 빛이 retina 뒤에 잡히는 이유 중 하나는 안경임. 근시를 교정하려는 안경은 일부 빛을 retina 뒤에 맺히게 할 수 있음.(hyperopic defocus) 이것은 안구에게 axial(lens와 retina 사이=eyeball) 길이를 늘리라 명령 내림. 그러면 axial이 늘어나니 retina는 더 뒤로가게 되고 빛이 retina 앞에 맺혀지므로 위에서 언급했 듯 안구는 계속 axial elongate하게 되고 이게 악순환이 되어 계속해서 elongate하게 되는 거임.
@@endmyopia if glasses prevent eyesight from getting better, how is it that children who are farsighted and have glasses tend to see a reduction in their farsightedness with age, despite wearing glasses?
Hey jake i have a question I have started following your tips before 2 days but I has began to have eye pain. Due to it if it increases eye stress then is there chance of getting more worst vision.. please answer🙏🙏🙏
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
My 6 year old got referred on suspicion of being "borderline short sighted" he then went for a further test which suggested he is "borderline long sighted" so he now has a prescription for glasses. His eye sighted seems absolutely fine and both tests contradict each other?
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 😔
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.
@@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 :)
First of all everything takes time you can't see improvement in a week it's takes time but yes jake you're a guy we needed you're doing a very good work keep it up
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.
Sir plz it's. Reply Today I get to my optromist I asked her to reduce my lences But she said I will not medical science Don't beleive it , As I am just 14 so I can't do anything What should I do sir . My power is 2.25. In left and 2.50 in right I will tell you in insta please reply.
Bro it can be corrected by active focus mine is -5 in left eye but corrected it to 1diopter in 6months (: you can do it first of all try doing self experiments ☺
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.
Last year I was wearing a -6 and -1.25 with no astigmatism and recently I’ve gotten a check up and I’m at -5.25 and -0.50 with sudden new astigmatism now I know that this new astigmatism might be temporary but does that mean I’m making progress or it will just worsen ?
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 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 :).)
Hi my eyesight is really very weak. I am a pre medical student my eyesight number is -6 and -5. I want to join Medical College Armed force medical college but they do not take such high numbers.. please tell me how do I reduce it... I I have to compulsory watch 4 to 5 video lectures per day please tell
I wore -0.50 (last half a year even -0.75) too strong glasses for computer work for 5 years but with atropine drops they measured the exact same prescription as before the wrong prescription. Maybe this damage happens if eyes are still developing, but after that I'm not so sure. Granted the eyesight doesn't return back immediately, it takes 2 months due to muscles having to adapt back. All this ordeal did, however, cause a lot of suffering, I'm still not back to normal (in terms of comfort)
Yea atropine (poison) paralyzes the muscles in your eyes. Prevents some ciliary muscle strain. But also stops pupils from closing, causing light sensitivity, and potentially plenty of other side effects.
When I was 7 years old I barely needed spectacles, but doctor said keep wearing this, soon you will not need any spectacles. But every year, eyesight got worse and now I'm wearing -4 spectacles.
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?
When i went to eye doctor she told me i have very little power and may wear glass or not. She prescribed glasses but after wearing it my power incresed a lot now cannot see anything with out glass. I should never went to the eye doctor

Well done Jake & the animator! This is a fantastic video. Amazing how much detail you managed to include in a one and a half minute video.
I have noticed that every time I get new glasses I get headaches. The correction is too strong. This was very informative.

Awesome video, Jake! Really loving these animated videos. They’re short, clear, and concise, and everybody loves animation. Thank you so much for putting this information out there! Looking forward to future animated videos!
Great video Jake. Short, simple and to the point.
Thanks Jake. Telling me what my eye doctor won’t
Hey Jake! Coming up in the world. Haha! This video is great! Bite sized info that people can quickly understand. Also very shareable. Good stuff! Soon I'm going to be telling people, "I knew this guy when it was just him ranting on camera." Haha!
Oh it will be mostly still that, just my silly face. Who can afford this animation fancy business! 😂👍🏻

Here before it blows up.
You are amazing Jake 😄☺️
Thankyou for your valuable information & The animation was great.
Because of these online classes, I have reached the point where I have to search, "How to decrease my eye power?" Bruhhh these online classes really annoy me because they made my eyes go from -0.5-1.25 and I think they might be increasing. This is horrible
Looks like jake hired the artist of improvement pill 💊. Well the animation was great..
I wanna know who is the artist
Will change that for the next one.
@@endmyopia its great TBH
@@endmyopia larger text in the animation could help especially at the end with the Google Scholar searches.
I honestly believe glasses do make our vision worse.
Every year, I go my eyesight gets worse.
And this time the doctor says. Yes your eyesight is worse and I say well it's a bad thing. An eye doctor's purpose is to only prescribe and not help the patient. Im losing hope now
Sad to geary😢 don't lose hope... may Allah do better
Can you help me too?
Amazing video !!!! Really effective and productive...you should include these type of video more often...
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.
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!!!
@@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.
@@xxpowwowbluexx No moron YOU know wrong. If it is not in your genetics, it cannot happen with any lifestyle. Also do you even know what epigenetics means!? Cuz you literally contradicted your statement about it in the very next sentence. But here's a cookie for your effort though.
@@peachlife5118 my dad has 20/15 eyesight or probably even better. I have been myopic since 9 years old. So, it CAN happen even if Nobody had mypia in the family. My grandpa was in army (perfect vision) and my grandma (78 now) also has perfect vision. So, I guess your biology books need some catching up!🤣
Don't listen to this guy if u out pressure in your eyes u will get floaters and moreover it will damage ur retina and lead to retinal degeneration. Don't listen to him guys.
just another comment showing my unending gratitude for all these videos! If i see you on the street drinks are on me!
Thank you!
Straight and to the point. This is the first video that should play when someone googles vision improvement.
Then why are you getting near/far sighted in the first place, if the eyeball adjusts anyway? Doesn't make sense already
Watch the whole series. The biology is explained in all sorts of detail.
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?
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😊
The Animation was really nicee
I have been wearing glasses for about 5 years now, and I wore them almost the whole time for the first three years, then my eyes went from -0,75 to -1,75. I stopped wearing them, I didn't wear them in school nor at home watching TV and my eyesight got to -2. You are right, glasses do not make your eyesight better, they only make your eyes lazy and make your eyesight even worse. I am confident, I can get rid of my bad eyesight.
Bro can you help me a bit
@@Killer-1273 I can at least try, how can I help you?
@@daveh.8911like how can I improve my eyes sight?
6 weeks not using glasses, eyes much better, don't know if they gona keep getting better but the improve i had so far is amazing, hope it keep getting better. Try use glasses a bit one day, big mistake, eye got so bad after. Less cellphone, no glasses, more outside time, hope this is enough.
I stopped wearing my glasses six months ago and my eyes are so much better! I’ve also been practicing the Bates method (finding it is why I chose to stop wearing lenses) and it’s really working for me😃
I have a question i wore glasses for 2 years and i was 1.5 now iam 2.2 but i dont want to wear glasses because i do sports and i cant watch tv comfortablly because i have to squint iam 14 should i just keep wearing my glasses or not since my age is a developing age
if only optometry school would make time to show this little 2 minute animation to their students, it would save so many eyes!
That won't happen because medicine was bought out and is corrupt now. Eye doctors are taught the opposite intentionally. This video is truth.
Thank you, what wonderful work you are doing.
Nice change of the video style
So If I get a glasses below my prescription would my eyes do the opposite instead?
Yep. It’s called myopic defocus, and it causes the eye to shorten.
There is more involved, though, since you wouldn’t want to use that distance subscription for near work. (It would still be too strong for close up, causing hyperopic defocus.) A second pair of lenses for close-up work are called “differentials” on this channel.
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'm flattered but ... it's not "my theory". It's basic eye biology, validated by peer reviewed studies. Like this one: endmyopia.org/axial-change-myopia-science/
Awesome explanation Guru
Perfect video for us myopics. 👏👏
First in a series? Cuz that would be cool 😀
If the monies don't run out ... 😬
Optometrists are bullshit artists. They give me very sketchy vibes. I remember getting fitted for glasses by 3 different optometrists in a week (2 at the same shop) and all gave me a different prescription. How is that possible if your method is such a precise science!?🤔 As a Biology grad, I believe in your method Jake.. and I am going to give it a try. Nobody in my family history ever had vision this "bad" as I do.
How is it going?
Did you give it a try?
@@samyakchhajed TBH no I did not as I'm in a tough spot: I'm a college student and in front of a computer all day!! This method requires you to limit close-up work and spend time without glasses everyday. It's just not practical for me right now considering I'm at -9 in both eyes but I'll give it a go once I graduate.
@@peachlife5118 Any improvements?
@@peachlife5118 how's it going?
Thanks for this amazing video!
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?
Love the animation
Let me just tell you that you give me so much hope!
Ik you get this question a lot but I have -4 left and - 3.5 right. Recommend what power of glasses I should get for close up work (studying, scrren-time etc.) It should be minus power right?
Have your glasses for close up work less than your actual prescription until you have a bit of blurriness while working close up. This is called differential glasses.
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.
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? I think I could have 7 D or smt like that (or more) :(.
Hi! I’m no eye doctor or anything, but I have been following Bates ‘Perfect eyesight without glasses’ method (it’s in his book, you can find it for free online or watch Nathan Oxenfelds videos about it) and he suggests not wearing glasses at all (if possible with your lifestyle of course) I stopped wearing my glasses six months ago and started practicing the Bates method and my eyes feel a lot better and I’ve noticed slowly my sight is getting better. I really feel like the Bates method is working for me, and I have -5 and -4 myopia
I know I'm annoying but still I know I can reduce these glasses but I have to work with computer and still doin 202020 thing but my vision is gettin worse any help
But bro what is the alternative to this...... This prblm is soo far stretched that my numbers have be -7...... Now I can barely understand things or daily life physics in dim lights...... Can't avoid glasses now wht to do
I've been wearing glasses for 3 years and now i am noticing a change in my eyeshape and i have myopia i think its getting a little bit curvey or big.. Am i getting my 20/20 vision back or Should i stop wearing glasses and check for 5 days or Should i keep doing active focus???
I think if i Remember i still have -3.45 on my left eye and -3.5 on my Right for my Eyesite to Not get worse should i Use my Glasses less or like what?
Bro can you tell me too i have 2.5 on one eye should i use glasses more or less?
@bigbossam1227 well I guess I don't use it everytime only when I need it for like driving or on computer and stuff...
@@everydayfun9531 so MashAllah i can see properly without glasses (because my one eye is -2.5 and one eye is alright Alhamdulillah)
Now should i use them because i fear may my -2 .5 eye could get worse.......if i don't use them
So should I wear glasses while using phone / laptop or anything close which I can see clearly
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?
Don’t overthink the exact animation proportions. I didn’t pay for a biologist to make this one. 😬👍🏻
@@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 :)
@@editbalint-ordog1265have improve?
Can eye balls shrink down if you stop wearing glasses and just use contacts?
Did you get the answer
안구는 액체로 가득찬 공임 앞쪽에는 가깝게 혹은 멀리 움직이는 flexible한 렌즈가 있고, 뒤쪽에는 retina라고 약한 신호를 받는 수신자가 있음. 이 둘의 정렬은 시력에 중요한 요소임. 그러나 액체로 가득한 공은 이 둘의 정렬에 좋지 못함(active control mechanism이 없다면). 빛이 retina 앞에 잡힌다면 안구는 수축하려 할 것임(axial reduction). 빛이 retina 뒤에 잡힌다면 안구는 늘어날 것임(axial elongation). 빛이 retina 뒤에 잡히는 이유 중 하나는 안경임. 근시를 교정하려는 안경은 일부 빛을 retina 뒤에 맺히게 할 수 있음.(hyperopic defocus) 이것은 안구에게 axial(lens와 retina 사이=eyeball) 길이를 늘리라 명령 내림. 그러면 axial이 늘어나니 retina는 더 뒤로가게 되고 빛이 retina 앞에 맺혀지므로 위에서 언급했 듯 안구는 계속 axial elongate하게 되고 이게 악순환이 되어 계속해서 elongate하게 되는 거임.
so how would we know whether or not you are lying about going from 5.00 diopter high myopia to 20/20 natural eyesight?
Guess you wouldn't. And it won't matter either way.
@@endmyopia if glasses prevent eyesight from getting better, how is it that children who are farsighted and have glasses tend to see a reduction in their farsightedness with age, despite wearing glasses?

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
My 6 year old got referred on suspicion of being "borderline short sighted" he then went for a further test which suggested he is "borderline long sighted" so he now has a prescription for glasses. His eye sighted seems absolutely fine and both tests contradict each other?
They sell glasses. They'll find whatever 'reason' necessary to do so. ;)

I have been doing active focus since 30 days...
Please Reply jake ive -8 in both eyes 😔
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.
@@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 :)
First of all everything takes time you can't see improvement in a week it's takes time but yes jake you're a guy we needed you're doing a very good work keep it up
should i to use a low prescribe for my glasses? I use -1.50 both eyes. Someone could say me...

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.
that's why I never want to go up in glasses anymore, I just stay in the grade I am in because I can see just fine

My eyesight was getting worse and worse when wearing glasses. I stopped wearing glasses all the time and my eyesight went from -1.5 to -1.0
My vision in one eye is 6/12 with glasses what should I do
If I stop wearing glasses, does it help reverse the damage?
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.
Last year I was wearing a -6 and -1.25 with no astigmatism and recently I’ve gotten a check up and I’m at -5.25 and -0.50 with sudden new astigmatism now I know that this new astigmatism might be temporary but does that mean I’m making progress or it will just worsen ?
Search is your friend. I explained this in videos and posts in detail.
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 :))

@@endmyopia Thank you so much!!
Thx for spreading the truth!
I wore -0.50 (last half a year even -0.75) too strong glasses for computer work for 5 years but with atropine drops they measured the exact same prescription as before the wrong prescription. Maybe this damage happens if eyes are still developing, but after that I'm not so sure. Granted the eyesight doesn't return back immediately, it takes 2 months due to muscles having to adapt back. All this ordeal did, however, cause a lot of suffering, I'm still not back to normal (in terms of comfort)
Yea atropine (poison) paralyzes the muscles in your eyes. Prevents some ciliary muscle strain. But also stops pupils from closing, causing light sensitivity, and potentially plenty of other side effects.
Why isn't it good to use negative distance correction for close-up work?
Hyperopic defocus.
When I was 7 years old I barely needed spectacles, but doctor said keep wearing this, soon you will not need any spectacles. But every year, eyesight got worse and now I'm wearing -4 spectacles.
And that's how they make a 100 billion dollars per years.
