{{Jake says|Valid question. | |||
Short answer: '''I’m perhaps not the guide the “discount please” individual is looking for.''' | |||
Long answer: For those looking for “cheap”, or are “just browsing”, “or maybe, sometime”, and definitely the “I’d surely do it if only it was x-dollars”, and “I’m poor, give me a discount” crowd .. there are lots of alternate options, ranging from entirely free to appropriately inexpensive: | |||
There are some worthwhile '''books on Amazon.com''' (check for the well reviewed ones). | |||
A local '''behavioral optometrist'''. Always worth considering. | |||
Sites and '''forums'''. ([https://gettingstronger.org/ gettingstronger] appears to have decent conversations) | |||
I’m not specifically endorsing any of them. But there are valid ideas out there. | |||
I’ve spent quite some time working with the “discount, please” crowd, and I’ve learned from them. It’s actually almost never about the money. '''It’s a mindset making excuses.''' There are plenty of cheap books, some of them with good reviews. | |||
Similarly, from the Q&A: [https://endmyopia.org/therapistqa/question/programs-cost Oh, I wish I would have bought it when...]}} | |||
==Free resources vs BackTo20/20 – is it worth paying?== | |||
====Does BackTo20/20 work with presbyopia?==== | |||
{{See also|Presbyopia}} | |||
{{Jake says|This is a rather common question, and here’s an answer (that I copy-paste from an e-mail I replied to, since it probably applies equally to you). | |||
''' | |||
“Does endmyopia work for myopia if I also have presbyopia?”''' | |||
Yes and... maybe. | |||
The approach of limiting close-up strain and negative stimulus from minus lens use does work, irrespective of presbyopia symptoms. Though in practical terms the program isn’t set up to address the additional challenges that come with presbyopia, specifically the issue for accommodation range and how to make sure to preserve (or ideally increase it, thereby reversing the presbyopia too). | |||
Issue you’ll run into is that half of the program is dealing with the close-up problem, which is a different story with presbyopia (where using less minus / or plus actually makes reading easier, and can increase presbyopia -not what you’d want). | |||
I haven’t found time yet to structure a separate program for presbyopia and myopia. Hoping to be able to do so in the future! | |||
Side note: You can definitely both reduce your myopia and most likely your presbyopia as well. A number of cases on the site, even one of our contributing optometrists (who has presbyopia) has reported notable improvement. Some of the articles (more if you dig in a bit): | |||
https://endmyopia.org/official-eye-exam-confirms-63-year-old-cuts-myopia-in-half/ | |||
https://endmyopia.org/neuroplasticity-curiously-disappearing-presbyopia/ | |||
https://endmyopia.org/myopia-cure-motivation/ | |||
For the time being though '''I’d recommend going the DIY route with the blog''' (rather than paying for the program, which doesn’t account for the presbyopia) – there’s also our Facebook group which tends to be quite supportive and helpful. If you find the time to make it a bit of an ongoing project, you’ll absolutely get your (time) investment’s worth.}} |
