There are other writings that indicate that MiM advocates that [https://www.myopiaismental.com/why-i-think-its-mental-and-why-i-started-mim/ myopia is more mental than physical]. This clashes with EM's view that myopia is related to the physical shape of the eye, and that any changes need to be measured and gradual to prevent issues with too much changes in the eye being too difficult for the brain to adapt to (which may manifest as double vision or eye discomfort). | There are other writings that indicate that MiM advocates that [https://www.myopiaismental.com/why-i-think-its-mental-and-why-i-started-mim/ myopia is more mental than physical].

Marks [https://community.endmyopia.org/t/an-easy-way-to-achieve-active-focus/6807 claims] to have improved from "Left -5.00 with a -1.00 / 80 axis for astigmatism and Right -4.0" to "-1.50 in both eyes" between the periods of November 2018 thru August 2019. This is considered very fast improvement by EM standards, and not considered a realistic improvement rate by both EM and mainstream optometry standards. | Marks [https://community.endmyopia.org/t/an-easy-way-to-achieve-active-focus/6807 claims] to have improved from "Left -5.00 with a -1.00 / 80 axis for astigmatism and Right -4.0" to "-1.50 in both eyes" between the periods of November 2018 thru August 2019. This is considered very fast improvement by EM standards, and not considered a realistic improvement rate by both EM and mainstream optometry standards. (EM suggests that a good improvement rate is 0.75-1.00 diopters a year, while mainstream optometry says that myopia reversal is impossible.) | ||
