  • Myopia, or near-sightedness, is generally assumed to be an irreversible, genetically determined condition that can only be ameliorated with corrective lenses or surgery. Its prevalence is 30-40% in the U.S. and Europe, and more than 50% in some Asian countries, but it is rare in Africa and in pre-industrial cultures. The incidence of myopia correlates with IQ, school achievement, and industrialization, suggesting that an environmental factor is at work-namely, near-work. This talk will review the biology and epidemiology of myopia and present experimental evidence that myopia can be reversed naturally by specific focusing techniques and practices.

      Todd is correct, of course.
      I started at 20/50, estimated -1 D.
      After about 7 months, began passing 20/30 on my Snellen.
      THAT IS SUCCESS, IT PASSES ALL DMV TESTS.
      Continued wearing, and no minus, now 20/20.
      The best part?
      It did not cost me any money - just Todd's knowledge and persistence.
      It is admittedly difficult to get out of more than that.
      Good luck, however.

      Todd is an original "creative thinker".
      As an Engineer, he is not intimidated by "official medical thinking".
      He just started checking "wires", and saw better vision.
      The plus, makes scientific sense.
      From "first principles", the minus makes no scientific sense - at all.
      So he took the plunge, at 20/60, and got back to PASS the DMV, and then gradually, to 20/20, or positive refractive STATE.
      It will never be easy.
      You must understand it.

They learnt how to make people feel bad with word that insinuante people are dumb and fool, in an enigma, using a riddle. People feel pretty bad after talking with them, they make people feel juldged, in a "bad trance" or in an another new strong mental suggestion -- that increase tension and even myopia.
      They think "this person should be fool by talking to me and not noticing I am just taking money from his wallet without explaining nothing."
      The mechanism is the same as the bullying, sarcasm, irony, riddles, masochism. Many of these patterns are connected to sexual problems, the sensuality not finding ways to express itself creates this dynamic of hunter, narcisism and selfishness.
      That's why many old books as Bible, Quran and Torah tell about Evil Spirit ruling the World.
      They think they are smarter than us, by making statements in a passive way in a authoritary way but passive, then you realize that they just want you to obey them, pay them money. In many scenarios, they are useless. That is why many old books say myopia is lack of courage, assertiveness, focus, testosterone, activity, sexual power, initiative, etc.

      Todd is a true scientific leader.
      When at 20/60, he commits himself to long- term plus wearing for all near work. When he cofirms passing the DMV, at 20/40, he quits wearing the minus.
      Continued wearing the plus - slowly gets him to 20/20.
      Todd presents this science to us.
      Further - his information is free - to all who will learn.
      Most people refuse to learn this science.

      HI Why-me! Congratulations ! I consider always passing the 20/30 line (always pass the DMV) to be a major success for anyone. Now you can totally avoid wearing a minus lens - because you pass the DMV. But the "last phase", to get to the 20/25 to 20/20, is indeed very slow. But you won the most important part of true prevention. Self-confirmation - is the only objective truth - that matters.

But I looked for the way to help my son, and I found this video. I almost cried from happiness when I was listening to Todd.

    In July, I went to the optometrist for a new prescription which was - 4.75 in each eye. He said my vision was 20/500. Basically that means I couldn't even see the E on the Snellen chart. He wanted to do a glaucoma test. I found it puzzling since I'm only 27 and figured that glaucoma was an old person's disease, but upon research I learned something different. Myopia is a leading risk factor, not only of glaucoma but retinal detachment. I've been to several optometrists (both in Canada and the U.S) but this was never discussed with me. I was lead to believe my only real answer was glasses or laser surgery. I did some eye exercises briefly last year, only for a week or two and not consistently. I didn't have patience with it and gave up too easily. However, this time I was resolved to give this a second try... and I came across this wonderful video. I've now incorporated active focus and print pushing into my daily routine, along with a few other eye exercises, and have seen amazing results. In the last five weeks, I've managed to reverse 5 years of vision deterioration. I'm now on a pair of glasses I used in 2014, which I can even drive with now. This prescription is a whole diopter lower. I just want to say "Thank you."

    I discovered this on my own when I was training my autistic child's bed time routine. Every night I would be in his room for 45 mins. In the pitch darkness. In the corner of the room 15 feet away was a digital clock with 2" red letters. Bored, I would make the blurred letters come together best I could. Over a few months I discovered I was getting better at it. When I visited my optometrist later that year, my vision had improved by 0.5 D. She discounted it by saying is was my age and then tricked me into trying RK. What a disaster. I can't wait to never go back! Thanks

    I could write a book on this. I’ve gone through many iterations of this until finally figuring out what worked for me. The problem I was having was putting too much emphasis on consciously controlling my focus which would cascade to strain on my extraocular muscles. General eye strain would inevitably set in and the effort would end in frustration. This went on for a loooong time. I eventually had surgery which bridged a chunk of the gap, but I realized to my dismay after the settling period that my night vision was still haloed and poor and my day vision was still very compromised. This went on for a year after surgery. The blessing from surgery is it still created less strenuous conditions for me to learn proper techniques. It also put me in a frame of mind that I simply had to figure it out, since I couldn’t rely on surgery to fix everything. What finally worked for me was realizing that I needed to create conditions for my eyes to do their own work. And I had to deliberately fight against the predisposition to force it along (my primary bad habit). So, well lit spaces, low stress, giving the eyes time to decide when they were going to relax and accommodate to the far detail I was gazing upon. It took a couple months to accomplish what I couldn’t do previously no matter how hard I tried. Previously I would have some successes and my eyes would seem like they were progressing, but overstrain would inevitably disrupt that success and send me into discouragement. But this time, with my revised approach, I got over that hump, and understood better the bad habits that engendered the original issue from third grade, I have had excellent eyesight since. I finally felt confident enough to go get my eye exam as part of my flight physical for pursuing a PPL. They declared me greater than 20/20, and I know from looking at my eye chart on a daily basis for the prior couple months I never would’ve passed otherwise, nor would I have wanted to fly in that state, especially in low light conditions.
    When your eyes start to accommodate, it can sometimes create a light stinging sensation and eye watering. This dissipates as your eyes adjust to the new normal. I cannot over emphasize enough: you have to get out of your head. This is where I believe the Gym/exercise analogy may fail people. Your subconscious focusing faculty has to drive this process and you only need to create the conditions for it to do so. By the way, a good nights sleep and hydration, etc. are essential, or your eyes will simply not play ball. Also, there is something to be said for perhaps needing to learn this process under less strenuous conditions. For example if your present vision is very bad, as mine was, you may need partial accommodation to be able to relax learn the correct passive technique and then you can lose the crutch. Or as he did here, find the edge of focus. I had a hard time doing that. Also, reading especially during work on a computer, is more strenuous than what is needed here. Lightly look at text. That’s different from reading. Hope this helps, and that people can learn from my mistakes.

      Hi Eric,
      An excellent report.
      I am a pilot also, and check for my own vision on my Snellen for 20/20.
      I also wasted my time attempting to get truth our of medicne.
      They seem to want to "protect themselves", rather than being honest with me about the truly adverse effect a minus lens always has on my vision - when I start wearing a minus.
      I need scientific honesty from them - when I am 20/40 - that they will never provide.

      Great!
      It lookes like the mind doesnt want embrace the light, the full picture. I think these days that we are holding something on our minds that prevents us to enable eyes do its work.
      In another words, we are constantly fighting our thoughts/values/ and losing our senses.
      Mind is like a blue sky, thoughts its like clouds, they come and go. What does make clouds come and go? Wind.
      Wind here is our breathing pattern, when we stop breathing properly we get lost on our thoughts.
      Thoughts trigger eye scans, as William James said 150 years ago.
      Then Bates pointed that eyes should move more together with the head in order to not trigger a lots of thoughts and nervous system pattern/reflex.
      People on myopia are living in a storm of heavy clouds, they need a blue sky with proper Wind blowing.
      They need relaxation through some human reflex like diving reflex, floating on a pool, bouncing on a hammock, walking barefoot, and never stop breathing.

    I was working for an optometrist when I was in my early 30's. I was an optometric assistant. His wife paid me but never gave me a stub, so she paid me $500/month, and with 80 miles round trip of driving to and from work, that wasn't enough. So I reverted to eating Top Ramen, and I KNEW at the time that wasn't a good thing. SO I worked there a year and at the end of the year , my perfect non cavitied teeth, one of them imploded and I had to have an enormous filling (I tried to make sure it was composite and not mercury but by golly they put in mercury. THAT didn't help).But also, near the end of my employ, I had developed presbyopia , at 33, and had to have bifocals. I liked them but I also knew it was a sign of my general health. I knew that diabetics can have unstable vision. I knew that at that time, I had unstable astigmatism. One side would go soft and not focus, which would go away later in the day. I knew this was a sign of my health. While eating Top Ramen, i also couldn't even afford supplementation. Later, as I went into a better paying job (as a janitor ironically) and got back on better food and protein and supplements, I was able to put my bifocals away for years. It wasn't until I reached 43 that I had to wear my glasses again. Now coming out of another health challenge, which includes my inability to absorb, my eyes are improving again. At my worst, I was losing my distance vision, but now that is resolved, at 57. For awhile I was needing +3 readers, but Only for very fine font do I need those. For computer, I am down to +2. Besides the 90 essential nutrients in optimal doses but also a little more of certain ones I need. For vision, lutein and vitamin A (true A) and astaxanthin, krill oil, bilberry.

    Yes, this does work. I wear monthly contacts. My vision was -4.25 rt eye & -4.00 lt eye. My doctor suggested mono-vision lenses about 10 yrs ago, for distance and mid-range. But the longer I was using them my near vision got worse and started using cheaters for EVERYTHING.
    My new doctor worked with me and we changed to a -1.75 rt eye & -.50 lt eye, therefore I didn't need cheaters but did need driving glasses. That wasn't so bad.
    Now my distance has improved to -2.75. Yay!

We stay home quite a bit since we homeschool this year but last year I blamed the distance learning and me not aware that this could happen. I am very determined to help him. Last year the optometrist was blaming my husband saying its genetics. However, I dont believe he got it genetically. I am interested in how your optometrist help to reduce yours and I am thinking about asking his optometrist would work with us. Thank you! If not, I am thinking about ordering less prescription glasses in a progressive manner, like -0.25 to 0.5. Can you share how you reduce yours? Thank you

    After progressing to -3.25 + -3.50 with contacts over 20 years a new optometrist suggested monovision. It's completely in sync with what you propose and I now wear no lenses at all.

    • @otiebrown9999
      @otiebrown9999 Před 3 lety +1

      That is a great idea. There is a normal difference between the eyes of 1 diopter. (They are very lucky)
      If you have 0 diopters in one eye, you read 20/20.
      If you have -1 diopters, in the other eye, 20/50, perhaps.
      But if you are older than 45, you have natural Monovision.
      Clear vision, from infinity, to 20 inches.
      No glasses at all, until age 80.

    This is an accurate scientific presentation - for all fundamental eyes.

    As a practical matter, it is possible to work your way back to normal, if you are willing to start this process when you are still reading your Snellen in the range of 20/50, to 20/60.

    My vision improved after i started consuming lots of sunflower seeds (50g every day, i soak them overnight to make the soft & digestible without heating), they are especially high in vitamin E. And vitamin E protects your eyes. Vitamin E is quite hard to get from food. And the omega 6 LA in the seeds is also extremely beneficial.
    I eat them with carrots, as beta carotene also converts into retinol and in itself is a potent antioxidant.

    WOW. I've been actually doing the exact same thing but nowhere near as much.
    Since my eyesight went really bad, and went back to my old workplace. I noticed I couldn't even read the location labels on the shelf anymore. Same with the mobile phone when put further away I couldn't see the contents as well.
    I had to train my eye and naturally the first thing that came to mind was, make it do whatever it can't do.
    I used to force eyes to watch long distance out of my room window. Following the horizon and furthest point. Also focusing on several objects at different distance in distance order. Then going back and forth etc. This is when I noticed the double image incident where you see rooftopline but fainter lines coming out of it which are parallel. Eventually they focus in to the sharpest one
    Also tried reading at the zone where it's just outside natural focus and slowly moving the "natural focus point further and further"
    Even though I hardly ever do it. When I actually do it..you can literally see that the focus distance increases temporarily.
    You can try right now as you read this. Push your phone back until its just outside your natural focus. Hold it there and leave your eyes natural without stress or focusing hard. Eventually the new position will be easier to read. Push slightly further and repeat process. But keep going back and forth with the actual focus point. This works like reps during a workout..

    That is why I get my TEST LENSES from Zennioptical.
    Two pair for $28.
    Yes, he was close enough to 20/50, so he could correctly use a plus for a myopia prevention role.
    I use a Snellen for my efforts, starting at 20/50 (-1 Diopter).
    Success is a long-term process.
    Don't kid yourself.
    I think a dedicated pilot, at 20/60, could slowly get to 20/40, passes FAA 3rd CLASS (private pilot) and eventually to 20/20.
    It would take two years - my estimate.
    I am pleased Todd made himself successful.

    This really needs to be talked about more, especially now in this day and age.
    Started wearing glasses when I was 9, with a grade of -1.00 and -2.00. Today I am 15 (about to turn 16), with a grade of -6.50 and -3.50. Can’t say I’ve had it worst though, as I’ve recently found out that my little cousin, at the mere age of 4, already has an eye grade of -3.00 ~ -4.50 (not sure but I tried on his glasses). It was truly heartbreaking, realizing that this was probably a result of him growing up with his mother’s iPhone as his main source of entertainment (he’s the 3rd child in his family, so my uncle and aunt struggle to attend to him). What’s even more baffling to me is how his siblings (my older cousins) have NO glasses!
    I truly think environment (lifestyle & habits) plays the major role for the development of myopia.
    I’ve started doing some research on this, and I’m gonna try implementing some lifestyle changes asap. Hopefully I’ll be able to improve my eyesight by the time I reach adulthood. Thank you for this informative video and wish me luck! :)

    • @mazcotshorts2676
      @mazcotshorts2676 Před 11 měsíci +7

      The reason why your myopia got so high might be because of these two main reasons: 1. eye strain from close up work and 2. your eye doctor gave you overprescribed lenses.
      Since you started wearing (most likely) overprescribed glasses at the age of 9, your myopia progresses over time due to the focal point of light being hit behind the retina your eyes. (Too much power can cause the focal plane to shift)
      This in result will cause the eye to elongate since the light is being hit behind your eye (retina).
      For now, you should start by reducing your diopters by 0.25 so that you challenge your eyes with a little bit of blur. This will improve over time every 3-4 months. After you notice some improvements, repeat the process until 20/20. I HIGHLY recommend how eyes work first and understanding it.
      I really suggest following the endmyopia method. Here's a beginners guide on EndMyopia. Wish you luck on 20/20 gains! (not many people know about this so do a bit of research): czcams.com/video/XPIGDSY_xBs/video.html

    My personal, "clarification ", of Todd's success, and to support him, and ODs who might want to help, you when you are at 20/50.
    1) Mild nearsightedness, is not a disease. It is negative status, for the normal eye, that has been forced into a "long term near environment".
    2) The normal eye is not a, "camera", although we all draw it to explain some issues. The normal eye is a dynamic system, at birth.
    3) In a broad scientific sense, our normal eyes are responsive to.
    A) Long term near, changing themselves from plus, or 20/20, to negative, or 20/50.
    B) Exactly the same result occurs, when you force the normal eye, to wear a -2 Diopter lens.
    Again, the same result, your eye goes from positive, 20/20, to 20/50, or negative status.
    4) If you have a scientific mind, (A and B are the same) it is indeed possible to add these two scientific truths together, and conclude that "fixing" 20/50, with a minus lens, can only make the normal eye's refraction go even more negative.

    Does anyone else feel that doctors are intimidating and cause stress? I hate speaking up to tell him he is wrong. I mean I hate myself later for being such a nice guy, er gal, a wimp. Getting a weaker prescription is like getting a needle in the back. I finally got glasses at eyebrightdirect instead of Zenni. More frame choices. After I lost my $400 -4.00 after 4 months, I got a pair of -3.50 $37 with UV, anti-glare lighter lenses. Still have those after a year! My next pair will be -0.50 with anti-glare for screen viewing. Not wearing contacts.
    Someone asked about astigmatism. I went to Kaiser for $80 glasses. Walked out with $380 corrective glasses. Made me so dizzy I felt like losing it. He said to wear them all the time. Fine, but when my eyeballs want to self correct, they didn't work. Then when I took them off, I had better be close to a bed. They were so bad I took them back.

    HOW EVER, let me add these suggestions.
    1) Get a Bright Snellen. (Confirm you can read, or make out the 20/60 line. That is 1 inch letters at 20 feet.)
    2) Your prescription? I can only hope, it in the range of -1 Diopter, to -2 Diopters.
    3) Any recover, means long term wearing a plus for all near work. At least one year.
    Other than that, recovery costs you no money, of consequence.
    But great personal resolve and intelligence is required of you.
    Good skill and luck!

    I m shocked to see so manynegative comments. If you don't try, how do you it's not working? Most importantly, ppl who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. That said, nothing to lose to try and concern the wellbeing of our eyes

    My daughter has myopia, and she is only 8. We fear for the future trajectory. This talk gives us hope! Will definitely put it in practice! Thanks a lot!

      @Debra Charles Thanks for suggestion. Wouldn't it be nice if it is that easy! We don't have a TV in the house (not because of her, we never see much value in TV even before her). We were late in the smart phone thing ourselves, so I don't know at what age it will become necessary for her to get her hands on a phone, but I don't see the urgency at age 8. Get rid of books, maybe :). We are rationing her reading time, but too little too late.

    Thanks! I will try. I’m releasing chilhood trauma with walks in nature and I notice that my myope improve so i searched information. I think is both. The physical and the emotional because also tenses de body. 🙂🌱

    An excellent, clear scientific concept for recovery from mild myopia, by Todd!
    For me, I hope you can still read the 20/50 line on your Home Snellen, on a regular basis, with no minus lens.
    Todd's, "blurry Telephone Lines test is good, but you must be objective, yourself.
    I also include the need for four minus test lenses, (for $28) because no OD will ever help you get out of it.
    Since I will not "dispute", badly warped medical concepts, I measure my refractive STATE, as slightly negative, at first. (20/50) This is to avoid the claim that I am "practicing medicine on myself".
    It takes a certain amount of personal boldness to commit yourself to long term self prevention, with a plus lens for near.
    Either you have scietific motivation, or you do not succeed.
    Always set REASONABLY goal, you measure yourself.
    I.e., eventually PASSING, the required DMV lines, at 20/70, and 20/40.
    20/20, is nice, but seldom required.
    For me (talking about students), plan for long term plus lens wearing.
    This was proven in a scientific study of the plus and the normal eye - in my judgment.
    I know you will hate the idea.
    But, for me, there is no other choice, when I am at 20/50.

      Eye charts are not scientific. They resemble your eyesight's proficiency based on many factors. They dont actually represent your myopia. You need to get diagnosed by a machine to get your actual prescription. Myopia is the lengthening of your eyeballs. You can also get better vision by strengthening your eye muscles but that does not mean your actual myopia changed

    man I'm surprised like every part of the medical profession has methods that aren't accepted
    obesity/T2D caused by insulin from high carbs and sugar, solution is fasting and keto
    crooked teeth and long faces caused by lack of tongue pressure on upper jaw (orthotropics)
    and now this

      You want to be quick fixed with a minus.
      Rapidly destroys your vision.
      They refuse to understand it.

      "T2D caused by insulin from high carbs and sugar". Errr, no. T2D is caused by intramyocellular lipids.

    Todd is the only person working, almost completely alone, to help you with recovery.
    Give him a break.
    It is completely possible to measure your own refraction!
    Takes some skill to do it, but we all can do it.
    As an EE, I do it.
    But it starts with a Snellen at 20/50.

    I watch this a few years back and never did any of his suggestion. Today i watch again and this time i listen carefully. I did for about 10 minute with left eye closed and i already feel something is happening. As of today i will now do as he suggested for at least a year and more. I am excited to get back my eyes to see small letters

      Hi Pius,
      I did an exhausting effort to confirm, as science.
      I am now reading 20/20 on my Snellen Eye Chart at home, very consistently.
