Is it really possible to fix myopia?
If you listen to us, the answer is an unequivocal yes. In the vast majority of cases, myopia is a completely reversible condition of the eye. Myopia is lens-induced in most cases as a result of questionable optometry practices. Ever question how it's predicted half of the human population will have a severe defect (myopia) in their most important sensory organ by 2050? Surely it can't all be genetic...
With that said, we recommend you do thorough research on topics around vision improvement and come to your own conclusion about whether this is all legitimate or not.
Lowering diopters doesn’t improve eyesight?
Tell that to the hundreds of people who have confirmed results with EndMyopia, the endless emails Jake receives in his inbox on a daily basis (had to hire an email manager to go through them all), and the growing number of YouTube channels with testimonials backing up what we say here.
But you're right, this is probably all some scam. A scam where we don't actually try too hard to sell you anything 🤔
Are the testimonials fake?
That's an inordinate amount of money to pay to fake that many reviews. Also add in the cost of 17,000 Facebook members (all of which must be bots), it's just an inordinate sum. How much money do you really think this all makes? Certainly not enough to purchase all of those fake reviews we're afraid 😁
Is this based on clinical science?
Yes. See clinical science.
Is this pseudoscience?
Yes. Much of the theory is based on clinical science and many anecdotes. However, practically that is not reason in of itself that something doesn't work.
Is axial elongation of the eye reversible?

What’s the key way to improve my eyesight?
It's pretty simple. Normalized glasses, combined with distance vision and relaxing your ciliary muscle (Active Focus). Also, making sure your screen habits aren't undoing all of that hard work, so use differentials or no glasses for close work, depending on your eyes.
