Imperial-beard: Link new Varilux entry

Bifocals are glasses that have two different strengths of lenses depending on where you look through the lens. Typically bifocals for [[presbyopia]] and [[myopia]] have the lower section (for use during reading) 1-2 [[diopters]] weaker than the upper section.
The EM method uses separate [[differentials]] and [[normalized]] lenses rather than bifocals, making it easier to adjust your [[lens selections]] separately.

=Multifocals=
Bifocals are a type of multifocal, any lens with more than one power is a multifocals. Multifocals have a wider variety of available patterns than typical bifocals, such as gradual transitions and alternate patterns of power distribution.

=Simultaneous vision lenses=
A multifocal solution generally used in contacts, where your eye is looking through both powers of lens at the same time, and your visual cortex works out which part of the image to process for each distance.

Presbyopia

2026-08-22T07:58:27Z

Imperial-beard: Link new Varilux entry

Presbyopia is the hardening of the [[lens]] in the [[eyeballs]] such that it becomes difficult to see [[near work]]. This is common in older adults and is commonly treated with [[reading glasses]] (reduced minus for myopes), progressive lenses, or [[bifocals]].

==Correction==
As you age, the lens in your eye becomes less flexible. This makes [[accommodation]] more difficult and brings on "arms are not long enough to read" symptoms. Someone may be both [[myopic]] and presbyopic, and have deficits in both near and far vision. Your [[Prescription]] will have an "Add" section specifying bifocals or multifocals if you have diagnosed presbyopia, or if your doctor thinks it best to reduce eye strain.

===Two glasses===
It is an option to have two pairs of glasses, one for close-up, and one for distance, instead of trying to combine both near and far corrections in one pair of glasses.

===Bifocals===
Glasses with a lower section that is specifically for close work.

===Progressive lenses===
Glasses with a gradient from zero to near plus addition spherical power from top to bottom.

===Multifocals===
Contacts that have sections for near and far work, which the [[visual cortex]] will selectively use when looking at different distances.

== Measuring ==
To determine '''power of accommodation''', also sometimes called '''amplitude of accommodation''', measure '''far power''' and '''near power'''.

'''Far power''' is straightforward, and it’s the typical [[cm measurement]]: just measure the furthest distance you can see clearly without blur, with a lens to adjust as needed. The far power is ''1/(distance to blur) - (lens power)''.

* For example, 80 cm with a -0.25 lens is calculated as 1/(80 cm) - (-0.25 D) = 1.25 D + 0.25 D = 1.5 D.
* It might be useful to use a plus lens to measure low myopia. For example, 80 cm with a +0.75 lens is calculated as 1/(80 cm) - (+0.75 D) = 0.5 D.

'''Near power''' is the same, but measure the '''closest''' distance you can see clearly without blur.

* For example, if the closest you can see is 10 cm without lenses, it’s calculated as 1/(10 cm) - 0 = 10 D.
* It might be useful to use a big minus lens to measure young people (don’t look through it for too long!). In the example above, you expect to see as close as 50 cm with a -8 lens, which is 1/(50 cm) - (-8 D) = 2 D + 8 D = 10 D.

The '''power of accommodation''' is (near power) - (far power). With the first example in each of the above, it would be 10 D - 1.5 D = 8.5 D.

A person is generally considered to have presbyopia [[wikipedia:if and only if | iff]] his power of accommodation is less than 2.5 D.

===Caveats===

This technique might need to be refined for cylinder, if spherical equivalent is not used.

The cornea and lens actually have more power because the total power has to focus the image on your retina, but they cancel out in the subtraction step, so it’s easier to ignore them.

Varilux

2026-08-22T07:57:20Z

Imperial-beard: Create Varilux entry: history, Minkwitz optics, documented fall risk, sources

== Varilux ==

'''Varilux''' is [[Essilor]]'s progressive addition lens brand and the first commercially
successful progressive lens. It was invented by Bernard Maitenaz, patented in 1953 and launched
in May 1959. Over 700 million Varilux lenses have been sold since.

=== The 1959 trial ===

Before release, Varilux was tested on 46 people in January 1959. The recorded outcomes were
5 excellent, 29 good, 2 average and '''10 poor'''. The lens launched four months later.
Roughly 22% of the founding trial did badly, so non-adaptation was documented from the start
rather than discovered later by wearers.

=== Why the peripheral blur cannot be removed ===

The distortion at the sides of any progressive lens is a geometric consequence, not a
manufacturing defect. '''Minkwitz's theorem''' (see Sheedy & Campbell, ''Optometry and Vision
Science'', 2005) states that along the umbilical corridor of a progressive surface, unwanted
astigmatism perpendicular to the corridor increases roughly '''twice as fast''' as the mean
power increases along it.

Two consequences follow:
* A stronger reading add, or a shorter corridor, produces proportionally worse peripheral blur.
* The distortion can be '''redistributed''' across the lens surface but '''cannot be reduced'''.

This applies to every progressive lens from every manufacturer. Premium designs relocate the
distortion according to assumptions about gaze behaviour; they do not remove it.

=== Current product lines ===

The current flagship is the '''XR series''', marketed as "eye-responsive" and using three named
technologies: Nanoptix, Xtend and XR-motion. '''XR Comfort Max''' claims an extended near zone.
Older '''X series''' and '''Physio''' lines remain on sale. Street prices range from about
$139 a pair online to $700-$900 or more for XR with coatings through a retail optician.

=== Documented risks ===

* Progressive lens wearers fall at roughly twice the rate of bifocal wearers: adjusted odds
ratio '''2.23''' (Lord et al., ''Optometry and Vision Science'', 2025, n=281). Falls per person
2.31 against 1.61.
* Multifocal wearers fall about '''2.3 times''' as often as non-wearers (Lord, Dayhew & Howland,
''Journal of the American Geriatrics Society'', 2002, n=156).
* Toe clearance becomes more variable in multifocals, though the mean is unchanged
(Johnson, Buckley, Scally & Elliott, ''IOVS'', 2007).
* A randomised controlled trial found that giving single vision distance glasses to multifocal
wearers '''reduced falls in those with regular outdoor activity''', while noting the switch
'''may be harmful for low-activity wearers''' (Haran et al., ''BMJ'', 2010, n=606).
* Peripheral distortion measurably corrupts optic flow, producing a false sense of upward
self-motion on level ground (Sauer et al., ''iScience'', 2021).
* Progressive wearers develop a distinct eye-head coordination pattern, holding the eyes near
centre and turning the head instead (Rifai & Wahl, ''Journal of Vision'', 2016).

The reading segment at the bottom of the lens is focused at roughly 40 cm. Floor distance is
around 150 cm, so the part of the lens used to see the ground is out of focus for the ground.

=== The endmyopia position ===

Two pairs of [[single vision]] lenses, one for distance and a deliberately weak pair for close
work, remove the corridor, the peripheral distortion and the out-of-focus lower field entirely.

==Axial elongation==
{{quote|“The homeostatic control of eye growth functions to keep images sharply focused on the retina. Therefore, if the eye length increases more slowly than does the focal length, the focal plane will be behind the retina, creating hyperopic defocus on the retina. The same occurs if one puts a negative lens over the eye (Figure 2A). To regain sharp focus, the retina needs to be displaced backward to where the image is. This is done in two ways: the eye is lengthened by increasing the rate of growth or of remodeling of the sclera at the posterior pole of the eye Gentle and McBrien 1999 and Nickla et al. 1997, and the retina is pulled back within the eye by the thinning of the choroid, the vascular layer between the retina and sclera ( Figure 2B; Wallman et al. 1995 and Wildsoet and Wallman 1995); once distant images are again focused on the retina (emmetropia), both the rate of ocular elongation and the choroid thickness return to normal.

[[File:Ocular_Compensation_for_Lens-Induced_Defocus.jpg|thumb|Ocular Compensation for Lens-Induced Defocus]]

(A) A positive lens (blue, convex) causes the image to form in front of the retina (myopic defocus), whereas a negative lens (red, concave) pushes the image plane behind the retina (hyperopic defocus). With no lens (black rays), the image of a distant object is focused on the retina.

(B) The eye compensates for positive lenses by slowing its rate of elongation and by thickening the choroid, pushing the retina forward toward the image plane. It compensates for negative lenses by increasing the rate of elongation and thinning the choroid, pulling the retina back toward the image plane. The emmetropic eye is intermediate in length and in choroid thickness.}}

===Glasses progressing myopia via hyperopic defocus===
{{quote|“This study investigated whether adolescent guinea pigs can develop myopia induced by negative lenses, and whether they can recover from the induced myopia. Forty-nine pigmented guinea pigs (age of 3 weeks) were randomly assigned to 4 groups: 2-week defocus (<nowiki>n = 16</nowiki>), 4-week defocus (<nowiki>n = 9</nowiki>), 2-week control (<nowiki>n = 15</nowiki>) and 4-week control (<nowiki>n = 9</nowiki>). A −4.00 D lens was worn in the defocus groups and a plano lens worn in the control groups monocularly. Refractions in the defocused eyes developed towards myopia rapidly within 2 days of lens wear, followed by a slower development. The defocused eyes were at least 3.00 D more myopic with a greater increase in vitreous length by 0.08 mm compared to the fellow eyes at 14 days (<nowiki>p < 0.05</nowiki>). The estimated choroidal thickness of the defocused eyes decreased rapidly within 2 days of lens wear, followed by a slower decrease over the next 4 days. Relative myopia induced by 4 weeks of negative-lens treatment declined rapidly following lens removal.”}}

==Pseudomyopia==
{{quote|“Until the past decade or two, the conventional wisdom had been that myopia was principally genetic in origin both because of the higher incidence of myopia among the children of myopic parents and the large differences in myopia prevalence among ethnic groups (Mutti et al., 2002). This view was weakened by the discovery of homeostatic control of refractive error in animals, including primates. This gave credibility to the epidemiological evidence accumulating over decades that visual factors might contribute to myopia in humans. The evidence is of three types. First, there are epidemiological studies in many countries showing an association between the educational level attained and the prevalence of myopia (e.g., Goldschmidt 1968 and Sperduto et al. 1983), ranging from 3% for unskilled laborers to 30% for those with university educations. Second, a high proportion of young adults who do intensive professional studies (medical, law, engineering, or pilot school) become myopic over the few years of study (e.g., Kinge et al. 2000 and Zadnik and Mutti 1987). Third, cultures in which people lead outdoor lives have little myopia (Morgan and Rose, 2004), but when compulsory education and the other attributes of modern Western culture were introduced to Inuit or American Indian villages, there was a 4-fold increase in the incidence of myopia within one generation (Bear, 1991), although it is difficult to dissociate the visual changes from dietary and other changes (Cordain et al., 2002). The thrust of these findings is that education is associated with an increased prevalence of myopia. The risk factor most discussed as the intervening variable is reading, because the nearness of the page presents the eye with hyperopic defocus. Although the accommodation system reduces this hyperopic defocus, it cannot eliminate it, because accommodation is under negative feedback control, with defocus being the error signal that drives the accommodation output. Therefore, it is plausible that continuous hyperopic defocus during reading drives the emmetropization mechanism to correct this apparent refractive error by making the eye myopic.”

[[File:Near-Work and Myopia.jpg|thumb|Near-Work and Myopia]]

Frequency distribution of refractive errors in four populations of Israeli students. Boys in religious schools, who do much sustained near-work, have a much higher prevalence of myopia than do girls in religious schools or than either girls or boys in secular schools (replotted from Zylbermann et al., 1993.)}}

==Hereditary factors of myopia==
{{quote|“In populations with little genetic heterogeneity, such as Inuit populations, studies have revealed that within a generation, the incidence of myopia has risen dramatically in line with the onset of formal education and literacy.3 4 In addition to this evidence for an environmental contribution to the aetiology of myopia, there is also abundant evidence for a genetic influence. These contrasting lines of evidence have stimulated the long running “nature versus nurture” debate, although it is now clear that myopia results from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors.5However, the observed increases in myopia over a generation indicate that the modern myopic epidemic is being fuelled by environmental changes. Furthermore, environmental influences are more easily altered than our genetic make up. Understanding how the visual environment can influence eye growth should therefore be central to any attempts to alter the natural history of myopia.”}}
http://bjo.bmj.com/content/82/3/210.full%C2%A0
==Infant myopia==
{{quote|“1. The manifest refractions of 72 children were tracked at regular intervals starting soon after birth and continuing for 9-16 y. Near-retinoscopy, a non-cycloplegic refraction technique, was used for children aged 0-3 y, and non-cycloplegic distance retinoscopy after 3 y. Almost 1400 refractions have been obtained from this group. 2. During the first 6 months the mean spherical equivalent of the group is negative by a small amount. By one year of age the children have an average of 0.5 D of hyperopia which they maintain until 8 y. After 11 y the mean spherical equivalent once again becomes negative, largely because some of the children are becoming myopic. 3. The dispersion of refractions is largest shortly after birth and smallest at 6 y, reflecting the process of emmetropization during the preschool years. 4. The spherical equivalent at 1 y is most predictive of later spherical equivalents. Correlations of spherical equivalent at 1 y with other ages range from 0.43 during the period of emmetropization to 0.76 at some later ages. 5. Children with a negative spherical equivalent in infancy in conjunction with either against-the-rule astigmatism or no astigmatism are more likely to be myopic at school age than children with infantile with-the-rule astigmatism. 6. There is an increased incidence of myopia in children with two (compared to zero or one) myopic parents.”}}

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627304004933
==Form deprivation==
{{quote|“Form-Deprivation Myopia. If, instead of being defocused by lenses, the images on the retina are obscured by diffusers or lid suture, eyes elongate and form-deprivation myopia results in all species studied (for example, tree shrew, Sherman et al., 1977; marmoset, Troilo and Judge, 1993; chick, Wallman et al., 1978; rhesus macaque, Wiesel and Raviola, 1977; mice, Schaeffel et al., 2004). Because no images are brought into focus by the excessive ocular elongation, it continues as long as vision is obscured, resulting in eyes whose vitreous chambers are as much as 25% longer than normal (Wallman and Adams, 1987). This dramatic response, conserved widely across taxa, implies that image quality is normally involved in restraining eye growth. When the diffusers are removed, causing the visual system to experience myopic defocus, the choroid thickens, the rate of ocular elongation slows, and the refractions return to normal.”}}

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627304004933
==Catchy Quotes==

* On [[reduction]]: "Oh and 4 weeks is a short time. Even if it was crisp for both eyes you should wait at least 8 weeks. Maybe even 12. When in doubt take the patient route"

* Eating habits impact vision: "for vision improvement , distance vision is the soup and diet is the spice"

* "Not being trapped in four walls 24/7 is the key"

'''Welcome to [[EndMyopia]]''', the prime place on the internet for regaining your own natural eyesight and reversing your [[Myopia]].

'''EndMyopia isn't a simple program of steps. This page is just the entrance to the rabbit hole.''' Nobody here can tell you how well your eyes will react to a specific change, or what glasses are right for your eyes and your vision habits and your work requirements, we can just give you the tools to understand your own eyesight, what causes myopia progression and how to stop and reverse it.

==The Beginning Steps - Stop Myopia Progression==
# Measure your eyes - you can start with a professional refraction, but you should also learn to measure your own vision at home.
#* If your refraction is better than -10, the [[Measurement#cm_Measurement|cm measurement]] is easy to do and compare values. The cm measurement measures your myopia.
#* The [[Snellen chart]] measures all the combined factors of [[Visual acuity]] and is necessary for checking if your vision meets the legal requirements in your jurisdiction for driving.
#* Measuring your myopia and visual acuity regularly will tell you when the steps you are taking are working.
# Take breaks from near work (Follow the [[3 hour rule]] or the [[20-20-20 rule]] for starters)
# Don't wear glasses for near work if you don't need them.
#* Avoid [[hyperopic defocus]]. The single worst thing, what you really don’t want to be doing at all, ever, is wearing your full-distance correcting prescription while looking at a screen 60 cm from your eyes.<ref>[https://endmyopia.org/day-57-myopia-progression-the-one-thing-you-have-to-stop-doing Myopia Progression: The One Thing You Have To Stop Doing]</ref>
# Get separate glasses for near work if you do need them. We call these [[Differentials]] if your doctor is willing to prescribe them, he may call them computer glasses or reading glasses.<ref>[https://endmyopia.org/day-67-differential-glasses-for-close-up-use Differential Glasses for CLOSE-UP Use]</ref>
# Give this a few weeks, you may be able to release [[Pseudomyopia]] with these steps alone, which will change your eye measurement that you will base your next pairs of glasses on.

==Time to Learn==
{{gif fixer|[[File:Cute cat with glasses and tie reading laptop.gif]]|right}}
Experience has shown many times that without adequate knowledge of the process, people are really unlikely to make any improvements in their eyesight. There is always more to learn about vision improvement, and you should not be afraid to spend significant amounts of time reading the resources already available to you. Arm yourself with knowledge to deal with any bumps in the road that come your way. The community won't answer your medical questions or diopter specific questions, take medical questions to your doctor, and do your own work to understand your specific diopter needs.
# Get the [[seven day free email guide]] - This is a must, if you ask a question in the community that's answered in this guide, your thread will quite possibly be closed by a moderator.
# Consult the [https://endmyopia.org/faqs/ Blog Frequently Asked Questions] and [[Frequently Asked Questions| Wiki Frequently Asked Questions]]
# Read the [{{em}} the blog]
## Hover over (with your mouse) “Blog and How-to’s” and check the “Eyesight How-To’s” and any other sections relevant to you.
## Search the blog. Do you know how to search the [https://endmyopia.org/ blog]? Hit the 🔍️ in the upper right corner and fill in the relevant search item there.

==Future Steps - Reverse Your Myopia==

# Get slightly reduced glasses for other times when you don't need perfect vision. We call these [[normalized]]. They give a slight blur challenge at a distance. Because glasses are generally rounded off to the nearest quarter diopter, full strength lenses are likely to be slightly over prescribed even if your [[optometrist]] follows the best practices and procedures of his profession. A quarter diopter low would put your distance to blur at 4m, or about 13 feet, and allow your [[ciliary muscle]] to relax when viewing at that distance and beyond. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI9JphYXQ6A 20/50 Rule For Improving Eyesight]</ref>
# Find Active Focus, a way of getting your eyes to see slightly further than their normal distance to blur. [[Guide:How_to_find_Active_Focus|Guide: How to find Active Focus]] <ref>[https://endmyopia.org/active-focus-links/ There is a category of blog posts about Active Focus here.]</ref>

==Keep Learning==
This page is just the entrance to the rabbit hole. Keep referring to the learning resources above even after you've made your first successful reductions.

You are likely to make mistakes along this journey: there is trial and error as you perfect the approach taken to improving vision. If at any time you have discomfort or disfunction in your new glasses, step back to the previous pair you were comfortable in. The basic ideas are really simple to understand, but there is a lot of nuance in how to apply them, and this can take time to understand fully.

==EndMyopia==
===How do I start EndMyopia?===
Every good EndMyopia journey starts with a '''really, really good understanding of what you're doing'''. This isn't optional, if you do not understand what you are doing you will fail in the vast majority of cases - it happens too many times to count. If a method says 'do this to improve your eyes', you fail to do what the method says, you can't turn around and blame the method for being wrong. You're doing it wrong {{awesome}}.

Remember that fixing your eyes through EndMyopia can be a '''[[Explainer:There's a learning curve|really, really long process]]''' and you should be aware that you're in it for the long-haul. If you're after a quick fix, you can look into mutilating your eyes with [[LASIK]] instead!

'''You don't need to buy a paid course to fix your eyes. EndMyopia is free, and plenty of people have improved their eyesight without paying Jake a penny.''' If you want hands-on, case specific help from [[Jake Steiner]] and want to support the project and what we do here, you should look into [[BackTo20/20]]. It'll guarantee the highest chance of success, or your money back.

Read [[the blog]], and the [[EndMyopia YouTube channel]] thoroughly. You can also particiate in the [[Facebook Group]], [[EndMyopia Forum]] and ask people involved in the process questions. <u>'''Please don't ask millions of annoying basic questions, they should all be answered in this FAQ (especially this page)'''</u>

Finally, of course you're at [[EndMyopia Wiki]], so we have to recommend that as a good resource too. There are really no excuses for 'being confused about where to start' {{smiley}}

{{Main|Explainer:The Eyesight Improvement Equation}}
[[The steps]]:

:1. Manage [[close-up]] effectively to avoid worsening your vision
::Wear [[differentials]] if needed, avoid [[ciliary spasm]] by taking breaks
:2. Wear a slight undercorrection for [[distance vision]] ([[normalized]])
::No more than 0.25 diopter undercorrection
:3. The hardest thing: [[Active Focus]] and doing it as a habit when you are engaged in distance vision
::This can take a long time, be [[Explainer:Patience|patient]]. A lot of people give up here.
:4. Be sure to get distance vision in your life, preferably daily
::Without distance vision, you won't improve

These points form an '''entire package'''. You have to do '''all of them'''. People that miss out on any one of these points usually doesn't see long-term improvement in their vision.

Please know that you cannot fix your eyes in the long term by following a 'simple list of steps'. This takes '''effort''', and knowledge beyond the list above. The list should give you a framework for what you need to do. Fully read all the materials available to you:

===Does this actually work? Have people gotten back to 20/20 vision?===
{{red|No, it doesn't work}}. Of course it works, you're on the EndMyopia Wiki {{wink}}

[https://endmyopia.org/success/ We have a long list of people with results], many improvement reports in various [[social media]], and Jake is always complaining that his inbox is always full of nice messages thanking him. This entire wiki was built from the ground up by volunteers, many of whom have experienced success with vision improvement. Quite a number of people have [https://endmyopia.org/category/segmenting-diopters/20-20/ fully recovered their eyesight, back to 20/20] (perfect eyesight).

Furthermore, nearly all of the material is given away for free, so even if it didn't work you're not losing out. If it's all a scam, why is so much given away for free? Worst scam ever.

We do recommend that you don't take what we say at face value, and question whether this is possible. See the [[Frequently Asked Questions/Skepticism|skepticism FAQ]] and [[Guide:How to doubt EndMyopia]].

===Do I need to buy a paid course?===
'''No.''' The vast majority of information is available for free and we actively tell you that EndMyopia doesn't need to cost you anything. We're here to fix your myopia, not to make a quick buck (whatever money there is in vision improvement anyway)

==Myopia==
===Is myopia genetic or hereditary?===
[[File:Double_D_Facts_about_Myopia.png|350px|right]]
The majority of myopia in the world, despite whatever the mainstream and well-endowed optometry industry will tell you, is [[lens-induced]] through glasses. There is evidence to show that accommodation of the eye to clear up [[hyperopic blur]] is responsible for [[axial length change]]. This means, wearing distance vision glasses while sitting in front of screens is the primary reason why [[progressive myopia]] occurs.

There are no warning labels on glasses when you buy them about the biological changes that occur when you use them in specific ways. The optometry industry has no interest in promoting in what is true and what is not, because it's a '''$200 billion industry''' that has grown year on year for decades and has no financial interest in myopia reversal. They make way more money selling you glasses at extremely high markups.

It's analogous to the tobacco industry before the truths about the dangers of tobacco became common public knowledge. There is no reason to think this isn't the same case with glasses (unless you're unwilling to engage in critical thinking).

{{clear}}
===Is myopia a disease?===
{{jake says|There is nothing wrong with your eyes.

Myopia is created by close-up strain first, by stimulus created by your glasses, later on. Your eyes are fundamentally completely healthy. They are simply responding to stimulus, and strain.

To fully understand myopia, you will want to spend some time exploring myopia science.

Here is a good start: https://endmyopia.org/dr-morgan-dr-megaw-preventing-axial-elongation-and-the-development-of-myopia/}}

==Glasses and lenses==
===What is the difference between normalized and differentials?===
[[Normalized]] are [[distance vision]] glasses. They are typically undercorrected from [[20/20]] (what an [[optometrist]] would give you) by no more than '''0.25 diopters'''. Exceptions are made, usually in the 7+ diopter range. In the majority of cases, reducing any more than 0.25 diopters can be severely counterproductive.

[[Differentials]] are glasses used exclusively for [[close-up]]. This is usually for monitors and screens. These glasses are '''severely undercorrected''' for any distance vision, and correct you just enough to see the screen at a comfortable distance. Differentials should provide a [[blur horizon]] that is comfortable.

The majority of effective improvements will always come from distance vision and normalized glasses, combined with good habits.
===When do I wear normalized, when do I wear differentials?===
[[Normalized]] are worn for '''all distance vision activities''' {{smaller|''(except night driving, see below)''}}. [[Differentials]] are worn, '''exclusively''', for close-up work with a fixed [[focal distance]]. Most of the time this is a screen.

When driving at night, it is strongly recommended that you wear '''full correction''' glasses, that are more powerful than your normalized. Leave no room for error.

You only need two reduced pairs of glasses. Don't wear loads of different pairs of normalised and differentials for different focal distances, you only need two.
=====I'm indoors, should I wear normalized or differentials?=====
{{quote|[[Normalized]] are worn for '''all distance vision activities'''. [[Differentials]] are worn, '''exclusively''', for close-up work with a fixed [[focal distance]]. Most of the time this is a screen.|This FAQ}}

You can wear either normalized or differentials indoors. Remember that indoors is not your primary source of improvement, this is outdoors [[distance vision]]. We recommend normalized, because there is no disadvantage to wearing them indoors and it means you don't have to live in blur.

See [https://endmyopia.org/pro-topic-normalized-differentials-indoors/ this blog post] for more info.

===Should I use plus lenses to improve my eyesight?===
Plus lenses are a '''very bad idea''' for improving your eyesight in the majority of cases. Understanding how [[diopters]] work will tell you that plus lenses make you '''more shortsighted''', and they do not correct for [[myopia]], they correct for [[hyperopia]].

The entire point of normalized is to '''correct''' your short-sightedness nearly completely, except with a bit of blur challenge that your eyes clear up. By wearing plus lenses, you're not correcting your short-sightedness, you're actually making your vision worse while you continue to wear the plus lenses, so the literal stimulus involved in improving your eyesight fails to work. This is not to say plus lenses worsen your myopia permanently, it's just to say they do not correct your vision while wearing them in the right way that would lead to vision improvement.

A mild plus lense of +0.25 may be useful in [[low myopia]] as [[normalized]], but if you have any more than -1.50 diopters of myopia, don't even think about it. If you don't understand how plus lenses work, don't think about using plus lenses because you're wasting your time {{awesome}}

==Active Focus==
===How do I find Active Focus?===
See [[Guide:How to find Active Focus]], [[Community:A Million Ways To Find Active Focus|A Million Ways To Find Active Focus]], and the [[Active Focus]] article itself.

Always read the blog, and maybe ask some people after that if you've read around thoroughly {{smiley}}
===Do I wear glasses when doing Active Focus?===
If you have moderate to high myopia (above 2 diopters), '''yes, you need [[normalized]] glasses to do Active Focus''', and improve your vision. You can Active Focus close-up objects without normalized, but this is never as effective as [[distance vision]] with normalized for improving vision.

If you have [[low myopia]] (under 2 diopters): may not need to wear glasses when doing Active Focus to improve your eyesight. '''If in doubt''', wear an appopriately reduced pair of normalized as appropriate.
===Do I Active Focus with both eyes at the same time?===
'''Yes''', there isn't really a benefit to Active Focusing with one eye instead of both. The exception is if you specifically [[equalizing]] and trying to only improve one eye, sometimes by [[patching]].

==Can I improve my eyesight despite a lot of screen time?==
'''Yes''', you can, provided time is taken each day to get some dedicated [[distance vision]] as well.
{{#ev:youtube|fYBQLorB90I|400}}
==Starting out, should I equalise before reducing correction in both of my eyes?==
It's not recommended to [[equalise]] your correction before making bifocal reductions (both eyes).<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/sticky-note-timing-diopter-equalizing/}}</ref>

This is mostly true when you're starting out. When you're starting out, your priorities should be finding [[Active Focus]], [[habits | fixing your habits]], and getting the basics right so that you can see a real improvement in your eyesight over time. Your priority shouldn't be equalising at this point, as you haven't demonstrated you've gotten everything right to make ''any'' improvement yet.

See [[Explainer:The Eyesight Improvement Equation]] for what you should be prioritising when starting out.

==How do I train my night vision?==
The exact same way you improve your day vision - reducing your level of myopia. There is no 'special technique' for training [[night vision]]. Be cautious of anyone attempting to separate the two categories of vision as if they need two different methods for vision improvement.

Endmyopia:Be bold

2026-07-08T02:47:02Z

Imperial-beard: Remove Discord link

{{GuidelineFromWikipedia|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold}}
{{EMguideline|EM:BEBOLD|EM:BOLD}}{{Nutshell|Editors should '''make the edits they think will improve the wiki'''.}}
==tl;dr==
{{#ev:youtube|HtseNPtRFwQ|700}}

==Being bold==
If there's an edit you want to make that you think improves the article, please '''make the edit'''. Believe that your point of view and the way you think the article should be is just as valid as the people who wrote the article originally.

There is really no point in spending a lot of time yelling into the void about whether a bunch of proposed edits that haven't even been written in wikitext and are just vague descriptions should be made. Like, '''at all'''.

Discussing edits before making them is a waste of editorial time, because 99% of edits go undisputed. What's worse is that if people actually start discussing your vague edits that haven't been made, ''now their time is being used up too''. That time could be used for so many better things on-wiki and off - instead you're sitting around discussing uncontroversial edits that are guaranteed to improve the wiki if they're made.
===When you should discuss===
If someone reverts the edit, '''then''' you can go on to discuss the edit made. Send the editor a message on their talk page, in the [[forum]], wherever. Don't have edit wars where you repeatedly undo each other's edits forever.

You can also discuss changes to an article if sweeping changes are being made and you ''actively anticipate'' the changes are controversial and will likely be challenged. This is a high threshold, in most cases you should just make the edit.
==Be bold everywhere, as much as possible==
If there's a [[EM:vandalism|vandal]] clearly disrupting stuff and you're an admin, be bold and [[EM:blocking policy|block them]]. If you want to suggest a new wiki feature, be bold and suggest it. Being bold is not limited to articles, it's not limited to minor grammatical changes - on the contrary the only limit is yourself {{grin}}
==A few thoughts from Wikipedia==
===Go for it===
{{quote|'''Be bold''' can be explained in three words: "Go for it."|The so-called experts at Wikipedia}}
Editors should forget about bureaucracy when editing this place. Throw bureaucracy and overthinking things in the trash where they belong. If there's an edit that '''you''' think improves the content of the article, waste no time in smacking that big orange '''Edit''' button and typing it out for all to see. Wikis like ours improve faster when people make the changes they wish they could see.
===Fix it yourself instead of just talking about it===
{{quote|'''Fix it yourself instead of just talking about it.''' If you notice an unambiguous error or problem that any reasonable person would recommend fixing, the best course of action may be to be bold and fix it yourself rather than bringing it to someone's attention in the form of a comment or complaint. In the time it takes to write about the problem, you could instead improve the encyclopedia.|Massive brain Wikipedian. ''They have 6,000,000+ articles, maybe we can learn a thing or two?''}}
In the time it takes for you to tell someone else that 'oh yeah, this thing can be changed', '''you probably could have changed it by now'''. Be confident in your abilities and do it yourself, it takes less time than telling someone else to do it, and it makes you a team player!
===Don't be upset if your bold edits get reverted===
{{quote|'''Don't be upset if your bold edits get reverted.'''|A wise Wikipedian, who clearly is a fan of trial and error}}
A typical feature of '''bold edits''' is a lack of confidence that other people will think the edit is any good. In cases like these, quite beneficial edits can go completely undone, and the wiki has not improved because ''you thought someone else might not like it''. If you think the article will be better with the edit you have in mind, what makes you think other people would disagree?

20-20-20 rule

2026-07-08T02:26:20Z

Imperial-beard: Remove username attribution on community quote

The 20-20-20 rule is designed to be an easy to remember caution about doing too much [[near work]] and to give your eyes a break from [[eye strain]] regularly. This rule is supported by conventional optometry<ref name="American Optometric Association 20-20-20 rule poster">{{Cite web |title=American Optometric Association 20-20-20 rule poster |date=2020-05-30 |website=American Optometric Association |url=https://www.aoa.org/documents/infographics/SYVM2016Infographics.pdf |access-date=2020-05-30}}</ref><ref name="Medical News Today: Does the 20-20-20 rule prevent eye strain?">{{Cite web |title=20-20-20 rule: How to prevent eye strain |url=https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321536 |last=Nall |first=Rachel |date=2020-05-30 |website=www.medicalnewstoday.com |language=en |access-date=2020-05-30}}</ref> and is a start towards the EM method.

* Every 20 minutes
* Look at something 20 feet away (6 meters)
* For at least 20 Seconds</big>
==Go Beyond 20-20-20==
EM finds that short breaks are less effective and recommends that you '''take longer breaks''', possibly less frequently to compensate for the longer duration.
* After you do close-up for 20 minutes continuously, take a 5 minute break.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eye Strain Awareness: Prevent Pseudo Myopia - Endmyopia |url=https://endmyopia.org/breaks-are-key-to-build-eye-strain-awareness/ |last=Steiner |first=Jake |website=endmyopia.org |access-date=2020-06-01}}</ref>
* After you do close-up for 3 hours continuously, take the longest break you can (like an hour) ([[3 hour rule]])<ref>[https://endmyopia.org/how-to-improve-eyesight-five-steps/ How To Improve Your Eyesight: Just 5 Steps]</ref>
* Take your break outside. <ref>[https://endmyopia.org/must-read-going-outside-to-improve-your-eyesight/ Must Read: Going Outside To Improve Your Eyesight]</ref> Notice how the lower frequency (3 hours instead of 20 minutes) is balanced by the increased duration (1 hour vs 5 minutes).
* To develop [[Strain Awareness]], it is recommended to use frequent short breaks and shift towards less frequent, longer breaks if preferred.
* You can customize your break schedule to your needs.

==One more thing==
The most commonly asked question about the 20-20-20 rule is: "Do I need to switch back to [[normalized]] every time I shift focus, for a break?"

The answer is: whatever you wish. However, it would make your life easier if you kept the [[focal plane]] you are already using, be it [[differentials]] or nothing depending on where you are in your journey, for breaks under 5 minutes. If you are taking a much recommended longer break; this is a good time to switch to [[normalized]], in order to ensure you are not trading close up strain for excessive blur strain.

==Reverse 20-20-20 rule==

Which glasses should you wear if you don't want to change your glasses all the time?

At least two people in the Discord chat have the following personal rule: If you will be in blur for more than 20 minutes, change to your other pair of glasses.

==Do you need the 20-20-20 rule?==

{{quote|The 202020202002020202 rule isn’t ours / mine / endmyopia. I think it’s kind of pointless but I :zipper_mouth_face: when people bring it up since … :man_shrugging:<ref>https://community.endmyopia.org/t/nottnott-fixes-his-eyesight-from-5-video-log/5361/1189</ref>|Jake Steiner}}

{{quote|20202020202020202020000 rule is really just mainstream articles filtering into here. When you get distance vision your ciliary unlocks anyway. Whether [[ciliary spasm]] shuts off axial gains is debatable, light rays still converge in front of eye in theory. Try without 202020 rule and see if you still make the gains.<ref>https://community.endmyopia.org/t/ok-but-when-exactly/16092/2</ref>}}
{{quote|It was never an Endmyopia rule, it’s a mainstream optometrists / work ergonomics recommendation.

Jake generally recommends longer breaks. He says that a break needs to be at least 10-15 minutes to be really effective.
He also recommends to have 1 hour break after every 3 hours of close-up.

But these are not strict rules. Generally what matters if you get ciliary spasm during your close-up or not. The best way to make sure is to check a Snellen chart or some “landmark” before you do close-up. You should be able to maintain the same acuity during close-up. If you detect blur on the same Snellen chart / landmark, then you should take a break.

Edit: to avoid misunderstandings, the 20/20/20 doesn’t do any harm, but on it’s own is not enough to prevent or eliminate ciliary spasm.|halmadavid}}

Myopia

2026-07-07T03:48:12Z

Imperial-beard: Add EndMyopia case-registry dataset + preprint citations (open data)

'''Myopia''', also known as '''near-sightedness''' or '''short-sightedness''', is a refractive state where distant objects at infinity focus in front of the [[retina]]. This generally causes distant objects to appear [[blur]]ry, while close objects appear clear with [[accommodation]]. This occurs because of a mismatch between the [[axial length]] and the focusing power of the visual system, causing the image of an object. Someone who has myopia is called a '''myope'''.

==Low Myopia==
Low Myopia is short-sightedness in the range of -3 dpt or below. Most people who develop Myopia throughout their lifetimes are prescribed with glasses in the Low Myopia range initially at around -1 dpt after experiencing [[Pseudomyopia]].

===Zero differentials===
The same basic principles for reversing [[Lens-induced myopia]] apply for all ranges of myopia, however below -2 to -1.5 dpt usually no glasses are needed for [[close-up]] work. This means that improvement might slow down because positive [[stimulus]] can only come from [[Distance Vision]], unless [[plus lenses]] are used.

===Very low myopia===
Instead of reducing from -1.5, -1.25, or -1 (based on personal preference), the current EM strategy is to alternate zero and normalized correction, which is a variation of [[zero diopter reset]].

==Moderate Myopia==
Definitions vary, but -2 or -3 to -5 or -6 is considered moderate myopia.

==High Myopia==
Definitions vary, but more than -5 or -6 diopters is considered high myopia. This category has a higher risk of various eye diseases and should be particularly regular about getting exams from an [[optometrist]] or ophthalmologist. If your myopia is even worse, see the [[severe myopia]] page for guidance.

Very few people have high myopia for genetic reasons. Most people who have high myopia had gradually-increasing [[lens-induced myopia]].

==Is EndMyopia a money making scheme?==
EndMyopia is not a money making scheme, despite what a lot of people seem to think. The way EndMyopia goes about vision improvement money making is pretty terrible, if that's what we're talking about. Expenditure is relatively high and is a net loss for Jake, as we try to get the word out there. [[BackTo20/20]] exists in part just to fund the high costs of keeping everything running.

If EndMyopia wanted to make more money, the way we preach that results are slow and take a long time should be the first to go - we should tell everyone they'll get '''FAST''' results. Also, no information for free, no free wiki or YouTube tutorials, just "trust me!" and big "Buy Now" button. This isn't the case, because EndMyopia is not a money making scheme. This entire wiki was created from the ground up by non-paid volunteers, and Jake <s>rarely if ever edits</s> [[User:Imperial-beard|doesn't edit]]. That amount of dedication is hard to come by for free on the internet, for something that doesn't work.

But hey - [[Bates method]] guys are pretty dedicated too. What do we know? 🤔

[https://endmyopia.org/is-endmyopia-all-about-making-money/ See this blog post for information about why, paid stuff might not be all that bad]
==Does Jake invest in lens manufacturing companies?==

[https://endmyopia.org/about-us/ Yes.]

==Are the bad reviews being hidden?==
The [https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/endmyopia.org TrustPilot page] is pretty impressive with mostly positive feedback.

Blog post: [https://endmyopia.org/endmyopia-bad-reviews/ Endmyopia: All The Bad Reviews O_0]

Here's [https://www.cityheadshots.com/advice-blog/how-plus-lens-therapy-almost-made-me-blind a bad review of plus lens therapy]

There's people who did EM and also regressed.

==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 myopia|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?==
[https://endmyopia.org/success/ 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 [[List:YouTubers|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 EndMyopia 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 EndMyopia theory is based on clinical science, but the details of Jake's research on his clients are not publicly shared or published. Jake will be the first to tell you he's not an eye doctor.<ref>https://endmyopia.org/quantifying-natural-myopia-reversal-logging-tool-update/</ref>

==Is axial elongation of the eye reversible?==
* Blog post: [https://endmyopia.org/eyes-in-various-species-can-shorten-to-compensate-for-myopic-defocus/ Eyes in Various Species Can Shorten to Compensate for Myopic Defocus]

==What do doctors think about myopia reversal?==
[https://endmyopia.org/endmyopia-friendly-optometrists/ Some optometrists are very supportive]. [https://www.reddit.com/r/glasses/ Others] are [https://www.quora.com/Is-endmymyopia-orgs-information-true-Can-myopia-really-be-reversible/answer/Por-Yong-Ming?ch=15&oid=249656063&share=a3a5dd74&srid=kGuQA&target_type=answer&fbclid=IwAR2757OkDXD8mHyd2a7Thcv_1-9WUIKs1ORyESfe6CfCYvfn1XFjiP04Kqs not so much].

{{Jake says|Natural myopia control is still very much on the experimental side of things.

Nonetheless, there are lot of licensed professionals interested in more holistic ways of dealing with myopia, than endless lens prescriptions, invasive and dangerous laser surgeries, or poisonous substances (atropine, etc).

You can find a behavioural optometrist who is likely interested in alternatives to above.

There are also individuals like Despina, our own contributing licensed optometrist, who find natural myopia control to be an effective tool to protect their eyesight (of course nothing here on the site is licensed or medical advice, or officially endorsed by the mainstream).

We also get quite a few doctors and health care professionals interested in our method. Take a look here: https://endmyopia.org/the-word-is-getting-out/}}
[[Dr._Carr|Dr. Carr]] thinks the way EndMyopia works is actually that we're flattening our lenses. There is apparently a forum conversation with Dr. Carr if you have access to the forum.

==How would I recognise an eyesight scam?==Reddit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/myopia/comments/fg05t8/is_endmyopia_a_scam/ Is endmyopia a scam?]

A massive '''"BUY NOW"''' button is always something to be concerned about. We're very clear about the fact you do not need to purchase anything from us to improve your eyesight.
Anything that preaches [[eye exercises]] and feel good stuff like [[healing crystals]] is also not going to improve your eyesight, but it will make the person who buys these things ''feel'' as if they are improving their eyesight.
{{jake says|First, you want to make a finer distinction, between the well-intentioned by nonetheless worthless content online, and genuinely willful scams.

The well-intentioned usually fall into the Bates method category. Bates was an early 20th century practitioner who found a workable solution to deal with pseudo myopia. Unfortunately most myopia today is of the lens-induced, progressive sort, so Bates practices don’t apply. Sites that promote Bates usually don’t have the training or education to fully understand the underlying biology that they are trying to repair. Because of that, while often well-intentioned, these types of approaches tend to fail for most people.

Well-intentioned sites are often not easy to assess, since they can have a loyal following and strong supporters. The best way to tell is to understand the basic premises of myopia yourself (the two stages, ciliary vs lens-induced, strain, axial elongation, etc). With that, you can look at their premise and get an idea of whether a) they know what they are talking about and b) whether their method deals with real causes in a meaningful way.

Does it sound hoakey? Are words like “eye exercises” and “palming” used? Do they advocate eye vitamins, use a bunch of pseudo science terminology?

Then it’s probably not going to do anything for you.

Scams are much easier to tell. Here is what you want to be looking for:

#Does the site have a slick sales letter? If you are scrolling and scrolling through testimonials and promises and “but wait there is more”, and “special promo pricing”, then it’s almost certainly going to be a scam. How many legitimate services use a sales letter? None. Click out of those things.
#E-mail collectors. If the first thing you see is a pitch to get your e-mail, it’s going to be a scam.
#Appealing to your inner greed. If the pitch sounds like something you really wish to be true (because it sounds so quick and easy), then it’s probably a scam. “Fix your eyes in your sleep”, or “the #1 secret to better eyes”, or “fix your eyes in 30 days”, that’s always, forever going to be a scam.
#Eye vitamins. If you see the words “eye” and “vitamins” anywhere in the same paragraph, click away. It’s a scam.
#Mailing you products. There is zero need for a product. Usually the product is tied to some complicated return policy and refund policy. You need to return the product to get a refund, and they count on you not doing that. If there’ s a product involved, it’s probably a scam.
#No community. If there is no way to tell on the site that the creators are active and participating in the dialog, if you can’t tell what customers are saying, if everything is shrouded in mystery and sales, you know what … it’s probably a scam.
#The biggest scam of all – doctor promoted products. Ortho-k and the whole ilk. Yes, they work (sort of, temporarily) and yes, they are promoted by a large network of real ophthalmologists. Again though, you are being sold a product, and it doesn’t in any way address the root cause of myopia. It’s legit but it’s still a scam.
#The payment method. This is a bit of an insider trick. Payment processors that accept shady businesses (adult entertainment, internet pharmacies, etc), are hard to get your money back from. If they payment processor isn’t clear, avoid the site. If it is, Google it. If they advertise “high risk payment processing”, run. Those outfits you’ll never get your money back from.

Instead, look for legit payment processor. As much as Paypal isn’t so amazing in many ways, it’s a good payment processor If you complain to Paypal, you get a refund. If you complain to American Express, you get a refund. If you complain to Square, you get a refund. If you complain to some shady payment processor, you’ll possibly get nothing.

Let us know when you find scams. We’ll make an effort to put together a scam-directory of sorts, at some point. Scams hurt everybody, not least of all the guys who legitimately want to help you recover your eyesight.}}

==Is EndMyopia a cult?==

Let's take a look!

The first search result for "What is a cult?" returns this link: https://study.com/learn/lesson/cult-characteristics-types-behavior.html . For details on the below bullet points, visit that link and/or some other one from your own search results.
'''✔''' A charismatic leader

'''X''' Ideological purity > doing your own research and reaching your own conclusions is encouraged

'''X''' Conformity and control

'''✔''' Mind-altering practices > [[Active_Focus]]

'''X''' Isolation and love-bombing

'''✔''' Us-vs-them mentality

'''X''' Apocalyptic thinking - however, people with higher myopia are more prone to eye health issues such as retinal detachment

'''✔''' Time and energy - Want to learn how to reverse your myopia? Close work is bad for your eyes! Now spend many hours learning more!

From the article:

* "''Cults often isolate their members from friends and family on the outside, punish doubts or questions, and require inordinate sacrifices and money from followers''" - '''Share what you're learning with your friends and family. Ask questions. Do your own research. Keep getting regular eye health checkups.'''

* "''a cult is a group of people who fanatically follow one person or belief system while also engaging in a number of dangerous practices.''" '''In conclusion''', EndMyopia has a lot of the traits of a cult, but unless you think this is dangerous, it's probably not a cult. Or if it is, it's probably harmless so whatever.

==What’s the key way to improve my eyesight?==
{{main|The Eyesight Improvement Equation}}
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.

That's it - people seem to overcomplicate this stuff for no reason {{smiley}}

==Documented case registry (EndMyopia)==
EndMyopia maintains a public, openly-licensed registry of adult myopia-reduction cases, deposited as a citable dataset and analysed in a preprint:
*Steiner, J. (2026). ''EndMyopia case registry: 273 adult cases'' [Dataset]. Zenodo. [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21016340 doi:10.5281/zenodo.21016340] (CC-BY-4.0)
*Steiner, J. (2026). ''A self-reported registry of adult myopia reduction: 273 documented cases (2013–2026)'' [Preprint]. Zenodo. [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21230819 doi:10.5281/zenodo.21230819]
The dataset is machine-readable and source-linked; median recorded reduction was −2.00 D, with 42 of 273 cases carrying third-party-exam or official-record corroboration. The data are self-reported and not a clinical trial.

[[Endmyopia]] is a vision improvement method created by Jake Steiner. 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 students have managed to completely reverse their myopia and regain [[20/20 eyesight|visual acuity]].

Endmyopia exists as a balance of free and paid materials. There is a [[BackTo20/20|paid course]], for those seeking a structured approach and support from Jake. A great deal of information is freely available in the blog articles on [[Moved:Endmyopia.org|endmyopia.org]] and the [[Endmyopia YouTube channel]]. This wiki summarises many ideas from these sources, and can be used as a reference of sorts.

[[EndMyopia]] is a vision improvement method created by Jake Steiner. 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 students have managed to completely reverse their myopia and regain [[20/20 eyesight|visual acuity]].

EndMyopia exists as a balance of free and paid materials. There is a [[BackTo20/20|paid course]], for those seeking a structured approach and support from Jake. A great deal of information is freely available in the blog articles on [[Moved:Endmyopia.org|endmyopia.org]] and the [[EndMyopia YouTube channel]]. This wiki summarises many ideas from these sources, and can be used as a reference of sorts.

Endmyopia:Policies and Guidelines

2023-05-26T05:51:29Z

Imperial-beard: /* The copyrighted material policy */

{{gif fixer|[[File:Policy scroll.gif]]|right}}
<center>'''Looking for [[Help:how to contribute|how to contribute]]?'''</center>
Here at '''EndMyopia Wiki''', we have ''plenty of policies'' for you to immerse yourself in. You're excited, ''right!?''

==No medical advice - a policy with legal considerations==
====[[Legal:No medical advice]]====
:'''EndMyopia Wiki does not give medical advice''', and no article should be written in a way that can be construed as medical advice. We see [[myopia]] as a refractive state, but real eye conditions should always be checked out by a licensed medical practicioner. Talking about how myopia affects the risk factors for eye diseases is okay - claiming EndMyopia is in any way a cure for eye disease (which it isn't) will be reverted on sight, regardless of the namespace and how public the writing is intended to be.

==The copyrighted material policy==
====[[Legal:Copyright]]====
You can use content from any EM resources, except stuff that's supposed to be kept hidden to encourage people to contribute. You can upload memes and materieal covered under [[Wikipedia:fair use|fair use]] for educational purposes and criticism. Note that all content created remains the copyright property of endmyopia.

'''Please don't copy and paste loads of content from other websites'''.

==Ignoring policy policies==
====[[EndMyopia:Ignore all rules|Ignore all rules]]====
:If you see a way that can be done better through ignoring a rule, go for it. Policies are written for a reason, so this is not a blank check to start doing whatever you want. However, first and foremost the message is that '''you can contribute without knowing all the rules at first'''. Don't be surprised if your edits get reverted if you violate some of the more important rules.
====[[EndMyopia:Write the rules yourself|Write the rules yourself]]====
:Please '''do not be afraid''' to edit policy articles to clarify how policies should work for the rest of the site. You can also create your own policies. The edits that are kept and the edits that are dropped will depend on community consensus. Feel free to add funny images to policy articles as well.
====[[EndMyopia:Consensus|Consensus]]====
:Change on the wiki is driven through '''community-driven consensus''', not top-down impositions from a 'cabal of editors'.

==Article policies==
====[[EndMyopia:Be respectful|Be respectful]]====
:We might all be somewhat annoyed at how the optometry industry has treated our delicate eyeballs. With that said, there should not be frothy hate pieces about the optometry industry found in mainspace articles. This stuff is alienating to new readers, and genuine optometrists who might be willing to consider what we talk about here will totally be put off.

:No articles about specific [[Bates method]] teachers, please. There are too many, and their methods are all relatively the same. We'll also get loads of angry messages, and they'll [[palm]] us to death! :(

:For people promoting things aside from the Bates method, comment on the '''method''' and not the creator. Give a fair and objective analysis of what's good and bad about a given method, no ad hominem attacks.

====[[Endmyopia:Our point of view|Our point of view]]====
:'''EndMyopia Wiki is written from our point of view.'''
:Articles about things that generally don't work, like [[Ayurveda]] and [[Bates method]], are welcome. These articles should have an objective analysis of what works about them and what doesn't. However, it's easy to see advocates of these methods maliciously trying to edit articles to promote how they think things should be. This is the EndMyopia Wiki, so at the end of the day content promoting other vision improvement methods are much better placed on their own sphere. The wiki is not obligated to have articles promoting other vision improvement methods on it.
====[[EndMyopia:Mandatory fun|Mandatory fun]]====
:Articles should be written in a light and upbeat tone with somewhat funny jokes. Humour should be genuinely funny and not just stupid.

====[[EndMyopia:Optometry degrees optional|Optometry degrees optional]]====
:Readers shouldn't be reading the 'How to Start' article, and halfway through the article they are bombarded with a ridiculously complicated cross-referenced analysis of axial elongation diagrams and statistics with P-values. ''No.'' Technical content is more than welcome on EndMyopia Wiki, but articles designed for normal people should be kept that way - and technical content should be segmented in their own area for readers who are up for it.

:Citations to clinical studies, on the other hand, are encouraged all over the wiki. These look similar to how they look on Wikipedia.

====[[EndMyopia:Drafts are for chumps|Drafts are for chumps]]====
:Please don't use the 'Draft:' namespace wherever possible. Push articles out into the mainspace, get more eyeballs on the content so everyone can contribute and people can enjoy what you've already written. Everyone wins!

====[[EndMyopia:No ownership|No ownership]]====
:Nobody 'owns' articles. Just because you're the main contributor to an article, you are not immune to [[EM:consensus|consensus]] about how the article should be developed from there.

===Subjects of articles===
====[[EndMyopia:Not a web host]]====
:We're not a free web host, don't use us to host loads of material irrelevant to vision improvement.

===[[EndMyopia:Writings|Writings]]===
:You can write about what you like in the Writing namespace, it's meant for opinions and not an 'official EndMyopia view' on things. Please no massively negative writings written in bad faith.

==Manual of Style==
See the [[EM:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] for information on the style articles should be written in.

==Behavioural guidelines==
====[[EM:Be bold|Be bold]]====
:Make the edits you think will improve the wiki. Don't tell other people to do it, if it's genuinely faster and easier to do it yourself. Some edits that you make may be slightly controversial, but '''go for it!'''

====[[EM:Assume good faith|Assume good faith]]====
:Editors should assume good faith in all interactions while editing the wiki. The vast majority of editors are here to improve the project, not harm it, this should be reflected in all interactions with fellow editors, and disputes should be avoided wherever possible.

====[[EndMyopia:Here to build a vision improvement encyclopedia|Here to build a vision improvement encyclopedia]]====
:People who contribute are here to build a vision improvement encyclopedia. Emphasis on vision improvement, not eye exercises. Don't vandalise the wiki if you have a different opinion about vision improvement, contribute what you can and just remember we're horribly biased :D

Help:How to contribute

2023-05-26T05:48:49Z

Imperial-beard:

{{EM help}}
{{gif fixer|[[File:Kermit the frog typing.gif]]|right}}
<center>'''Looking for [[EndMyopia:Policies|wiki policies]]?'''</center>
'''If it ain't broke, don't fix it'''. That is the guiding principle behind this help article ;)

'''Notice:''' Editing the wiki is temporarily not available, until we update legal policies, disclaimers and a number of articles. This has become necessary as some had expressed concerns about various contents, and unlimited public access without possibly necessary limitation and disclaimers. Jake, who created all of the endmyopia resources had been entirely uninvolved in wiki moderation, which has since caused some issues.

Luckily we've been able to clear the hurdle of being able to have the wiki online. It'll take some time to get all wiki contents and details in line with updated policies, at which time we hope to be able to re-enable editing. ❤️

The wiki runs on [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], the same wiki software that powers Wikipedia and probably every other wiki you've come across on the internet. As a result, '''countless other people have written guides far better than we could ever hope to write about how to contribute to the wiki'''. So, no point in reinventing the wheel with this one.

Please try to keep in mind the specifics of how contribution will work here. None of the policies of Wikipedia or any other wiki applies here, we have our own policy articles. We are [[EM:Biased point of view|not written from a neutral point of view]], referencing guidelines are fairly relaxed and humour is encouraged in articles wherever possible for entertainment value to the reader. But as for syntax and the technicalities of editing, you can't get much better than what's already written.

Remember that if you're using templates such as <nowiki>{{templatenamehere}}</nowiki>, a lot of them will not work unless the template has been copied over to here in the Template namespace. Bear that in mind if something doesn't work properly :)

[[Help:Video tutorial|{{resize|150%|You can find an EndMyopia Wiki specific, video tutorial here!}}]]

==Formatting==
===Using Wikitext===
====Wikilinks====
Try to use wikilinks when writing articles. You can write wikilinks like this:

<code><nowiki>[[Article]]</nowiki></code>

That will produce [[Article]]. You can also produce red links, that look [[MediaWiki:like this|like this]] - this is good for indicating to other editors that an article on this topic needs to be written, and doesn't exist yet.

====Wikitext guides====
You can find all the information you've ever wanted on how to use Wikitext to write articles effectively at Wikipedia.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext Wikipedia help article on how to format articles using Wikitext (very recommended)]

====Styling of articles====
You can find a far, far better crafted Manual of Style at Wikipedia than we could ever have the time or enthusiasm to write. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Here it is, in all of its glory].

Definitely feel free to ignore anything that is more related to being an encyclopedia, we are not an encyclopedia, we are a vision improvement resource, first and foremost, full of funny jokes. You will find a lot of information about how to stylise articles in a cool way there though.

====Using images====
{{Main|Help:Pictures}}
You can upload images to this site using the "upload file" tool in the left panel. (That tool also provides a link to enumerate uploaded fles.)

But even better than that, the "InstantCommons" feature seems to be enabled, which means you can access images directly from commons without having to copy them to here. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons#Using_files_via_InstantCommons

====Writing maths====
To write maths, enclose text in <code><nowiki><math></math></nowiki></code> tags.

<code><nowiki><math>(5+12)/(41.9999)</math></nowiki></code> displays as

<math>(5+12)/41.9999</math>

You can use fancy formatting too!

<code><nowiki><math>\frac{1}{2}e^{i\pi} = \frac{-1}{2}</math></nowiki></code> displays as

<math>\frac{1}{2}e^{i\pi} = \frac{-1}{2}</math>

For way too much detail on how to write and display formulae, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula Wikipedia's guide on how to render mathematical formulae].

====Citing papers====
We want to cite scientific research where possible to justify this approach. One way is to use the ''''proveit'''' gadget that should appear in the bottom right corner while editing - see the video tutorials mentioned above for more details.

=====Repeating references=====
It is possible to reference the same document several times from within an article. On the first one, give the reference a tag : <nowiki><ref name="habits">citation here</ref></nowiki>. Then subsequent mentions can simply use the tag with an empty body : <nowiki><ref name="habits"></ref></nowiki> or xml shorthand <nowiki><ref name=habits" /></nowiki>

=====Biomedical citation maker=====
Another (external) tool is http://sumsearch.org/cite/ - if you have a unique reference for the journal in one of various formats (such as a <nowiki>https://doi.org/...</nowiki> url), you can enter that into the box and will generate a fancy '''<nowiki><ref>{{cite...}}</ref></nowiki>''' sequence with title, authors, journal, etc. that you can simply paste in.

It provides a bookmarklet which allows you to generate a citation by simply selecting the doi using mouse, and pressing a button.

====EndMyopia specifics====
There is an apparent consensus at the time of writing that 'EndMyopia' should be the consistent capitalisation of how the name is referenced. Please refrain from using different capitalisations when referring to EndMyopia in articles. Consistency is important.

==Creating new pages==
===Creating a new article===
To create a new article, enter in the URL of the article you would like to create. You'll be taken to a page where you will be asked to create the article if it doesn't exist already.

Alternatively, create a redlink, [[MediaWiki:like this|like this]]. Then click on the redlink to create the article. You can place loads of redlinks in articles that are already written to indicate to others the articles that need writing.
===Creating a redirect===
Redirects move anyone who lands at that page to another page. This is used for terms that are similar, like [[Myopia]] and [[Shortsightedness]]. This is really important in preventing duplicate articles covering the same topic, and to aid in navigation of the wiki.

To create a redirect, type the following in the entire body of an article, and nothing else:

<code><nowiki>#redirect [[ArticleName]]</nowiki></code>
==Using talk pages==

[[EndMyopia]] is a vision improvement method created by Jake Steiner. 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 students have managed to completely reverse their myopia and regain [[20/20 eyesight|visual acuity]].

EndMyopia exists as a balance of free and paid materials. There is a [[BackTo20/20|paid course]], for those seeking a structured approach and support from Jake. A great deal of information is freely available in the blog articles on [[Moved:Endmyopia.org|endmyopia.org]] and the [[EndMyopia YouTube channel]]. This wiki summarises many ideas from these sources, and can be used as a reference of sorts.

[[EndMyopia]] is based on the premise that '''[[myopia|near-sightedness]] 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 students have managed to completely reverse their myopia and regain [[20/20 eyesight|visual acuity]].

EndMyopia does not exist as a quick-fix money-making scheme, and although there is a [[BackTo20/20|paid course]], it is entirely optional when it comes to improving your eyesight. All information is freely available in the blog articles on [[Moved:Endmyopia.org|endmyopia.org]] and the [[EndMyopia YouTube channel]]. This wiki summarises many ideas from these sources, and can be used as a reference of sorts.
:''Reasonable suspicion should be involved while reading. Read some third party [[clinical studies]], don't [[Guide:How_to_doubt_EndMyopia|blindly believe]] eyesight improvement just from us or some other source, do some research.''
