Blame your darling peers for this rule.
One: I had massive ongoing issues with the younger participants using parents (or other third parties) credit cards, and then me getting in trouble with parents and banks. Not worth the headache and since I only do a few invites each month, with way more people wanting in than I have space, I eventually just said ‘no more’ with the ignoring payment rules.
Two: The under 25 participants over time showed a highly disproportionate amount of support request. Where the average participant may have a question or to any given week, younglings were far, far more likely to have dozens or more questions in the same time. Not closely reading the sessions, then trying to get me to explain everything already in the sessions turned into a bit of a theme.
Jakey isn’t here to tell bed time stories, do your homework, or otherwise make up for attention deficit issues (probably caused by way too much screen time, btw).
Now if this sounds harsh, it’s just because I’m generally disagreeable. I made all this stuff FOR. YOU. and I hope you will use it. It just doesn’t include the credit card part, or the me in the support forum part, that’s all.
There is the free DIY route that I’ve spent many thousands of hours on putting on the site. I really do hope that you use it, that’s why I spent all the time. There’s our very active community with ten thousand+ members. Everything you need is here, for sure and definitely, no money required, just please don’t complicate my already few available hours asking me to make exceptions. 😉
Remember mostly what the course is about is some structure (nice but not necessary) and my support time. You can do this without either and you’re still getting access to what I know and a lot of my time putting it out there.
Why don't you accept payments from Hong Kong?

Does BackTo20/20 work with presbyopia?

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/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.
