I think the hardest thing about reversing myopia is the lifestyle adjustment. Modern society is predominantly set up for close vision. Modern life is staring at screens, books and papers in rooms for hours rather than looking out into the distance.
That is why you need to use Plus; there are only two ways to completely fix myopia: spend massive amounts of time outside or push your eyes toward getting farsighted using Plus. If all that close-up on a screen is using plus, you might even get very farsighted to the point where you start having problems reading without glasses like me. i start with -1.50 on both eyes; now, Dr., give me reading glasses. At least my distance vision is great now.
A great JOB, TODD. No easy. Refractive change, -1 Diopters to +0.5 Diopters. All objectively measured. That's from 20/50 To 20/20. All scientific engineering. I prefer the words PREVENT MYOPIA, or preserving 20/20, after you get there! Kudos Todd!
What wonderful scientific insights. That is how, with long term efforts, using a +1.75 Diopter (for near) I got to go from 20/50, to 20/40 (pass DMV) then, continuing, to 20/20.
Shout out from Taiwan. Tod’s talk about myopia from a few years ago was definitely an eye opener for me. Did not expect another episode on this topic. Let’s gooooo🔥🔥🔥 Tod is so cool😎
I think you make an attribution error in thinking that myopia has to do with near-work. We now know that myopia has to do with dopamine. The diet and exercise part you mention at 11:32 is probably the most crucial factor: have you ever seen any student being taught standing? No: they always have to sit, and for long hours, hence the deregulation of insulin. You yourself Todd were able to cure your myopia not because of plus lenses, but because you practice intermittent fasting. In France, a girl called Marie-Camille says she has completely cured her myopia with 4-days fasting and changes in her diet.
it could be real, since diuretic drugs tend to increase premature presbyooia (maybe by draining fluids also from the eyes), and presbyopia uses to counter act myopia. Fasting has a similar mechanism of removing inflamation from the tissues
@@k.j.8798 it would take way too long for me to explain over text. I would have to write an essay. I’ll do a video on it. I’ll make one now actually and send you the link. BRB.
If possible upload better quality video as the slides are blurry even at 1080p, thanks. Easy way to reduce myopia. When you get your prescription, ask the optometrist to get you to 20/30 not 20/20. Using -2.00 as an example prescription for 20/20..... It should be 0.25 lower example, instead of -2.00, get -1.75. For computer use about 3 feet away, use 1 less, ex use -1.00. For TV use about 6 feet away you can use an in between -1.50 or use the computer glasses and deal with a little blur. Zenni is a great place to get affordable frames and lenses. I recommend the oleophobic coating with no blue blocking. Don't rush it, I've gone down 0.25 every year for a few years.
Agreed. To see a high definition, annotated version of the slides, you can visit Todd's bog called GettingStronger. Then search for the article titled, "Myopia: A Modern, Yet Reversible Disease."
Hi Sky, I find that ODs have NO INTEREST IN HEILPING ME GO FROM 20/50 TO 20/20. So I make all my refractive measurements myself. I am an EE, so I know how to do it.
@@L1feT4les Minor lenses (distance glasses) induce more myopia. Plus, lenses (reading glasses) induce you to become more farsighted and have less myopia. Glasses actually make what you are trying to fix get worse, so to fix myopia, using Plus helps. Using minus makes things worse. Animal studies show this: plus makes animals go farsighted, and minus makes them go nearsighted. If you remove the lens, animal eyes go back to normal/neutral. So reading with Plus is the best way to protect your eyes from myopia. minus is a quick fix that destroys your eyes.
Please, please don't follow this advice! I had mild myopia, and started doing this plus glasses method in 2014. It made my eyesight worse and now I can't go without glasses. Please think very carefully before proceeding.
@@hiderbg7160 Hi, so I started doing the plus lens method in 2014. My eyesight was R: -0.75 L: -2.00. I used +1.75. Now my prescription is a diopter more plus strong astigmatism. Please don't wreck your eyesight.

People don't change their lifestyle either once they have gotten their first glasses, that's why their myopia gets worse.

why -1.50?

@@ericsilva7430 What do you start from?
It is possible - but it is difficult.
Todd, I am pleased you are successful!
Todd's original video, had one million views.
In pure science, Todd is correct.
Nothing has changed, since then.
A great JOB, TODD.

Is this for real
Myopia is the elongation of eyeball you can't reverse it

Ah so the main part of this video is still the talk from a few years ago. I thought this was a band new episode. Still cool tho that was a great talk😁
Hi former,
Todd has excellent scientific mind.
Pleasantly discussion of his success.
@@former_junk_eater😂
😊😊
What happened to the getting stronger forum?
I really liked the info there back in the day
My best guess is chewing more, meat and when possible raw meat. Modern life ruined teeth and eyesight.
Todd - You are great with this.
I consider this an Engineering/ Scientific issue, not a medical problem.

Majority opinion, no doubt.
Second opinion.
Prevention at 20/50 under your objective measurement control.
have. a link sharing marie success story ?
Nutrition,
Thanks for Marie's success.
The plus does not cure.

Trauma plays a bigger role on poor vision. I’m surprised it isn’t talked about as much.
How so?
I would love to hear more about that. Can you explain?

You guys complicate too much. I fix my eyes with no print push or active focus. Just remove minus and use plus for reading. That's all you need.

Hey Todd! Any tips for those of us with presbyopia/farsightedness?
Second this please
hey can anybody expIain me is it even possibIe or not ? sorry i cant type 'I' my button got stuck thats why i m typing capitaI i instead of I
Is it applicable in pathologic myopia?
No
What about astigmatism???
Sunglasses, even ppl after LASIK wears sunglasses to avoid residual astigmastism.
@@Bernardo-uz6si How can i cure astigmatism?
Can anyone give me the summary of this video.
If correctly understood, it is possible to get out of myopia.

what prescription of plus do you use
@@hiderbg7160 Hi, so I started doing the plus lens method in 2014. My eyesight was R: -0.75 L: -2.00.
I used +1.75.
Now my prescription is a diopter more plus strong astigmatism.
Please don't wreck your eyesight.
@@hiderbg7160 I don't use plus anymore. I tried for 8 months. Then I stopped. Now I live with the consequences of ruined eyesight.
depends about your age at the time, a full developed brain and eyes (25~ years old) should not suffer drastic changes.
Assumption,
Thanks for your statement.
Went from 20/50 to 20/20.
Took me 2 years.
Refractive state?
-1 diopters to +0.5 Diopters
