==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)

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.
