Based Vision is a vision improvement community and method. It raises awareness that '''[[myopia|near-sightedness]], in the most common case of [[lens-induced myopia]], is just a [[refractive state]] and not an irreversible condition''', as has been demonstrated in [[Moved:Improvement cases|countless improvement cases]] over many years. Many people have managed to completely reverse their myopia and regain [[20/20 eyesight|visual acuity]].
Reduced Lens is a vision improvement community and method. It raises awareness that '''[[myopia|near-sightedness]], in the most common case of [[lens-induced myopia]], is just a [[refractive state]] and not an irreversible condition''', as has been demonstrated in [https://endmyopia.org/success/ countless improvement cases] over many years. Many people have managed to completely reverse their myopia and regain [[20/20 eyesight|visual acuity]]. This is called the [[reduced lens method]].


This wiki is heavily based on [endmyopia.org], '''without endorsement from or association with [[Jake Steiner]]'''. This wiki summarises many ideas from many sources, and can be used as a reference of sorts.
The wiki is [[Red:CC BY-SA 4.0|free to use and share]] and is written by contributors like you. Most [[Red:Why_you_should_edit|editors]] have had some degree of success in improving their eyesight, otherwise they wouldn't have any interest in writing an entire wiki ;)
:''Reasonable suspicion should be involved while reading. Read some third party [[clinical studies]], don't [[Guide:How_to_doubt_Based_Vision|blindly believe]] eyesight improvement just from us or some other source, do some research.''
