- Update Sept 2022: Going forward new episodes won't be available to the general riff-raff of CZcams. We'll post new episodes exclusively for our monthly e-mail subscribers, Le Meow forum members, BackTo20/20 students, and those who bought the Pro Topic video option with Le Rough Guide. Jakey, no longer in the mood for the CZcams comment section.
Reducing lens diopters? Don't try any of this at home. This is all highly experimental, unapproved, and definitely requiring research and reading and critical thinking. And still, you're totally doing a thing you're probably not supposed to. Especially for anyone going "but what are the stepz, bro", this is definitely and absolutely not for you.

The Jake Origin Story: I grew up with glasses, 5.00 diopter high myopia, and yet today have 20/20 natural eyesight. No surgery, no glasses, I figured out how myopia actually works and how to reverse it (and no, not eye exercises!) The mainstream tells you it's impossible - but the whole concept that myopia is an illness, is complete unscientific nonsense (a 100 billion dollar a year profitable nonsense, though).

The podcast is back! Hope for more in the near future. Let's hit that 500 episode goal. Keep on truckin'!
I love these podcasts ! it's a great way to learn from other people's experiences
Very inspirational case indeed. An example of persistence and determination. Many thanks for sharing.
Very interesting bit on the peripheral vision.
It also helped me a lot when I stressed myself too much forcing the active focus experience. The forcing never works well. By relaxing the eyes in the peripheral, you put strain away from the center vision. Focussing excessively on the center vision can actually support tunnel vision.
Hooray! More podcasty content to encourage me on my AF walks. ^_^ (I can just about quote a lot of the previous podcast episodes now. Haha).
you really need to find a new name for active focus.
it's completely different thing from what I thought the first time I heard it.
it took me about a year to finally get it.
once you get it. your eyes will breath again. literally you will feel air passing inside your eyes. and you will be relieved.
tutorial on how I got it: don't force focus. just look at distance. see what interesting objects or details your eyes will land on. it's more like meditation. you may see or notice things that you didn't pay attention to it before.
and the more you keep just appreciating what you can see or the more new things your eyes catch the better your eyes gets.
not even the slightest pain you should feel while doing active focus. it's normal. it's not a new thing. you were doing that before your eyes got locked into short distance.
hope that helps sb
Really enjoy these Kaffeestunden mit Jake podcasts. Iâm just about ready for another reduction myself, but need to be more consistent with using differentials in the evenings.
Thank you! Love this! I can still mostly only do close up active focus. This is so hopeful.
I've gone from -2.25 to almost never having to squint to see anything. Just took off the glasses and struggled.
Just squeezing your vision? im like -2 and i don't know to do it is hard to avoid 100% all the close vision...
Nice episode. Wish I understood the German bits! Lol
I find his approach patient and a bit confusing with the -1.75 for night driving but that is the beauty of it here, do what you suppose works, really only have yourself to answer to.
Great podcast, interesting insight on the peripheral vision
Thank you jake for more proof to encourage me to end my myopia and thank you dear guest about the pereferal sight advice, I will be using it more frequently.
And may we all unite under the holy spiky beardđ
Did it help u
@@rajni_sharmaa I can feel that it comes my eye tension after using screens, and also when using active focus to much.
Just had a follow up with an Ophthalmologist, and asked him if I could reduce my Myopia, and he said, NO, its impossible to change the shape of your eye. I wasn't surprised that he answered that way.
Same answer when I asked my ophthalmologist and he also said the only option is surgery đ
If the shape of the eye can't change like the genius ophthalmologist says then how does myopia get worse in the first place?
Yep! Same here. He told me Iâm stuck with living like a mole, recommended some of the LASIK surgeons he knew and that was it.
@@lornawallace3670 be careful with LASIK. I had it done years ago and it hid and likely promoted my myopia, which has now lead to a much graver secondary condition.
I like it. He doesn't know that it's possible so he assumes that must mean it's impossible. Confident ignorance. The power of fancy titles!
Thanks for interviewing Joe. Good job, Joe! I've been doing this for 8 years now, too.
How its going for you Matt? Have you conquered already the last diopter?
I am still on it. It is freakin hard for me to overcome it (on it for 3 years already...)
@@losrobbosful had some setbacks in 2020 due to my screen time for work about tripling. Reassessed, and did a multi year reset to get my non-dominant eye to truly catch up with my dominant. I'm now in the intermittent glasses wearing stage, where for short periods of time I see 20 / 40 or better in alternating eyes. One more good leap in non-glasses clarity and I should be fine to be glasses free except for night driving. A good time to benchmark for me will be about the end of September when daylight hours start dropping off on the East coast. If not for 2020 set back I might be done by now, but if the worst of the pandemic for me was a slowdown in my vision improvement, then I came through it well.
Last diopter mostly takes a lot of patience.
@@mattely6774 Yeah, I know what you are talking about. 2020 was also a heavy setback year in terms of progress.
I realized that my non dominant eye goes into ciliary spasm super fast, whilst the dominant eye has pretty stable vision.
I guess with a lot of screen work and lots of intermittent spasms the visual cortex gets quite shooked up.
I always had the suspicion that the ciliary muscle of my non dominant eye is somehow "weaker" (does not focus that easily). It also took a lot of time until both of them were almost on the same level.
Now I can, just like you, see 20 / 40. But not instantly, it takes slight focussing (but without pushing).
Ocassionally, in great lighting, I can read up to 20 / 25.
In Dim Lighting however sometimes I can hardly read 20 70.
So hopefully we will both finish the journey soon. Best of luck Matt, I will see you there :)
@@losrobbosful I've got a lot of similar stuff going on - non-dominant eye is less stable, the clear vision is there sometimes but not entirely controllable, significantly worse in dim lighting. It'll come and we'll do a digital high 5 once we get to the finish line.
@@mattely6774 what you do?
I recently read a lot of these studies relating to blinking lights and animals wearing eye glasses, and it's very clear that the peripheral is what causes the axial change rather than specifically looking at a single minute detail. This also explains why going outside yields a lot of improvement, but virtually none if at all while in doors. I think we should look more into the peripheral aspect of the eye.
Thank you
Iâve been at -1.25 for about 12 years. I think the only reason it didnât get worse is that itâs so low that I only wear glasses when Iâm out of the house or watching tv across the room. I just went to the eye doctor and told them I think Iâm over prescribed because the glasses give me headaches and Iâm constantly taking them off. I did try a bit harder for the eye test than usual but they gave me a significant reduction. Hereâs to hoping Iâll be out of glasses in a year.
Why not just buy glasses online? Way cheaper than going there
nice Podcast, keep it going with new podcastsđ
I'd like to share some observations that I have been noting in my experience.
It appears that the upper lips have the ability to relax the facial muscle, as if "sliding" the lip through the upper teeth creates "cheeks" on the side to which the lip moves and that this purposefully generated "cheek" serves as a support for the eyeball. I suppose that when we move the eyes we also move the lip (perhaps a lil bit the nose too) slightly in the same direction as we are looking, as if this movement prevents the eyes from straining or prevents the facial muscles from tensing.
Some people with normal vision often "pull" or keep the "joint" of the lips to a specific side as if they are making a disapproval face (many older women get this expression mark in their mouth), it seems that this maneuver pulls the muscles attached to the muscles of the eyes (when the face is relaxed).
In hypnosis, when you look down for a long time, it relaxes the muscles in your face and also in your eyes (eyes are related to cognitive function/awareness).
Strangely, looking at one shoulder frequently seems to relax the eyeball or the muscles in the face.
Look into Neil Hallinan and the postural restoration institute, the whole body is connected. Your teeth and tongue relate to your eyes by the way. The tongue is supposed to relax to the roof of the mouth sealing the lips and this allows us to posture our bodies and move forward through 3D space which makes us relax because we see less narrowed vision and more peripheral vision. The most naturally attractive and healthy people in the world will have an upright neutral pelvis, forward jaw, and little to no visual issues.
When I put on a stronger pair of glasses my super human vision only lasts a few minutes, even if I continue to only look into the distance, before I know it I feel like Iâm back to what I saw with the lower prescription. I find it difficult to know what correction to be at because if I chase clarity above 20/30 my vision seems to get worse.
I have -10 in right and -9.5 in left. I am still a schoolgoing teenager. Has anyone here ever managed to reduce their power by following this channels advice? Or do u have any other advice?
Thank you so much sir đsalute to you.
Hii jake, thanks for ur efforts and time,
i get active focus only after a hard blink,lasts for 10 to 15 mins and re blink to see closeup things, is tat right way of active focus, or I'm doing wrong
thanks jake!
I like the lazy honesty at the beginningđ
For myopia one need carry several different prescriptions one for morning one for reading one for night one for reading signs then at end is just using different numbers during day that does not mean eye number has changed lot of health problems are irreversible including changing eye shape
Hi Jake,
R- 2.0 & L-1.75
how make first redaction for normalized glasses ?
Please reply
Hi Jake should I use my use my normalised glasses(-2.5 both) for distance outdoor activities like seeing the nature and birds. NEED REPLY
Hi Jake, I have a question. Is myopia always caused by too much close up in the first place or are there also other factors that can cause it like for example stress? Because I noticed that my vision is a lot worse when Iâm stressed or have a bad mood. Have you also found that that was the case for you?
Jaw, teeth and lips are tensioning your eyeballs when you are experiencing stress. Also the link between both eyebrows are tensioned.
i found it's also an uneven tension of the circular muscles and it seems to be correlated to the focal area one focuses on, that's why active focus starts with describe the blur, become aware what you're looking at and try to better look at it. I also found that the fixation wasn't always at the point i was looking at, always around it and different per eye.
Could also be related to nutrition, eat a high quality carnivore style diet
The chance of being diet the factor for myopia is negligible.

yeahhh finally new video

Hi guys I need help seriously I know that you hate ppl asking for the steps but I read the 7 days email and tried to know how my eyes woks first and searched in the end.myopia site but I still don't know what I must do because of my poor English I couldn't know exactly what he wants us to know I tried using Google translate but it is not that good please help ....thanks
Hello sir I am a 18 year student.I have myopia +0.25d spherical and -0.75d cylinder so in this case SHOULD I use differential? Sir please tell
Hey y'all could anyone please tell my all about this podcast I mean what did he had,what did he do..coz I can't really understand what he's saying so please I'll be gratefully-loveđđ
Hi Jack is it reversing for 4 years children? Please help me I don't understand what can I do? Please sir help me. I am from India.
Could someone explain what's this cilliary release?

When I was Young i had a diopter of -4.5. and had a cross eye. Now i am 29 years old and Not only my diopter went to 0.5 in Both eyes but also my cross eye disapeared without âdoingâ anything?
Has any one have a clue?
Hello sir do you have any solution for ânight blindnessâ or âRPâ (retinitis pigmentosa)
Sir jake i have -2.00 on my left eye and -1.5 on my right eye so i dont want to do lasik surgery i want to get my 20/20 eyesight naturally so i wanna ask do i need to wear glasses for active focus ? Or doing active focus without glasses ? I donât have knowledge about active focus how to do it? Waiting for your kind reply i really liked your videos and i hope that Iâll improve my eyesight.
Mine was similar to yours at -2.00 L and -2.25 R. I reduced down to -1.25 L and -1.25 R within a little over a year. When I'm at work or out in public a lot I wear reduced by 0.25 difference. So right now at work I wear -1.00 L and -1.00 R and at home usually if I'm outside and it's sunny I wear nothing and can see clearly a lot. You should buy some glasses from an online retailer and reduce by 0.25 at a time. When your outside and have free time don't wear glasses at all and just work on relaxing your eyes and seeing distance objects patiently.
i have a little problem with the active focus. the text gets blurry at a quite long distance so it makes it really hard to read . can anyone help?
in my experience, don't force it. if you force your eye it'll get worse. you try to focus and your eyes will accommodate. try to also go outside and less screen time will help
Is active focus just relaxing your ciliary muscle.
What about developing or researching into orthokeratology for ADULTS
High myopes above -10 find it difficult to find appropriate lenses...eye wear..
ICL surgery could increase the risk of intra ocular pressure
Along with active focus...it would be great to have some supportive eye wear to change the shape of a lengthy eye...
What do you think about this?
Yes you go do it. đđ»
Really I want to do this method so bad but i don't understand english even when I use google translate i still can't understand it
Does it work for -11? Also, print pushing method how long should I stare at the laptop screen at blurry distance?
It works for all diopters.
@@endmyopia alright. I just signed up yesterday for the 7 days walkthrough....Another question I have is how long should I look at it like 20s...blink then take a look at it again?
Thanks.
I just started following the endmyopia method and I have been seeing some double vision lately will it get worse? if so will it get that worse to the point Were the only thing I'll see is double vision I am a student and I am scared cause what if my vision never comes back what should I do?
same fear i had ,just stick to it u vl find a way
@@dineshkasiraman9196 I started following the endmyopia method And I am rlly scared not bcuz of the double vision but cuz of close up cuz even If I look at screen for even a split sec my progress decreases
Search "transient astigmatism".
Hello everyone, it has been 2 months since I started endmyopia. I have been going out atleast 1 hour everyday and use my phone for no longer than 20-30min at a time followed by 1-2min of looking far away. However, my vision has not been improving. Can anyone pinpoint to me why? I really am not sure and according to a video I watched by Jake steiner the 2 reasons why vision does not improve is lack of screen time and too much screen usage but I feel my proportions are alright?
Did it work for u
Did you reduced your number ?
I was sceptical but that shit somehow works. I reduce astigmatism from -1 to 0.5 and fun fact, that now I cannot use -1 anymore. It feels overcorrected, however I thought that I need full astigmatism correction and felt really fulfilled with minus 1 cylinders. Now going to start with differentials
Yes somehow this sh** works. đđđ»
Hi Jake I have a eyesight of
-4 sphere and -1 cyl in Right
-6 sphere ND -3 cyl in left
How to reduce normalized
Glasses power with this
Prescription and how to choose differential glasses plz help me with this issue Jake hope you reply soon
Also Jake tell me should I practise active focus with or without glasses
Can someone tell how long did it take for him ? Didnât listen
Mine is -7 is there any hope for me? Its so bad that i just dont want to get worse vision let alone improve it will this help me?
Probably. Maybe.
can you talk about visual snow ?
Why did you block me on the Facebook groups ?
I love it when you speak German, Jake.
I have few questions
1. Will close up still Effect after I get 20/20 vision?. As I have Started doing active focus I can see a lot of improvement but even If I look At screen for 15 minutes my progress decreases which Wasn't the case with me before I started doing active focus so will it affect ne after 20/20
2. Is it ok to not wear glasses? cause I still Haven't got my glasses yet and its been two months so is it ok
3.I have been seeing a lot of double vision lately will it get that worse to the point the only thing I see is double vision?
My glasses caused me to develop estropia. Lowering perception helps but man this double vision is hell
Start with diopters as close as possible to good vision. Slowly dial back from there.
I have -6 dp can it be less
Please ask better questions. This man didn't say anything practical about what he did to find active focus, which is what most people can't do. He said it went faster focusing on his peripheral vision but zero details.
Plenty of details on all that are available.
How many years it will take to get 20 20 from -3.00 both eyes
1 year if you try bates eye exercise method
@@anweshpeddineni5802 đđ
Bates method really su*ks even for me
Three, give or take.
what do you think of the theory that only peripheral myopic defocus has effects on myopia as studys where the whole eye was put into defocus had much less effect than those where particularly the peripheral vision was defocused.
Myopic defocus, axial shortening. Yes that's key. At least so goes the theory. In practice if you want to get rid of your glasses ... we've spent 20 years experimenting, the current approach so far works most reliably. Why, how, science? TBD

If your theory works, then why can't people with congenital farsightedness enlarge the shortened axis of their eyes by working at close range? According to your logic, they have enough stimulus for the growth of the eyes. But that doesn't happen. farsightedness remains farsightedness, myopia remains myopia. These are irreversible processes, the formation of which is influenced by many factors, including genetic ones.
"Congenital". It's the first thing I say all the time, we work on pseudo and lens-induced myopia. The rare genetic issues, or illness isn't our focus. And if myopia remains myopia, then who are these people: endmyopia.org/success/ :)
Active focus is completely bullshit.Many of them done and they lost their eyesight.please don't do active focus.
Yea you could die, your eyes could fall out of your head. Focus = bad.
