The Shortsighted Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jake Steiner / Endmyopia
You are shortsighted. Myopic. You're wearing glasses to see clearly at a distance, and you wish you didn't have to. Many others feel the same as you do, and we're talking to those who have found ways to significantly improve their eyesight, even entirely eliminate their need for glasses. Join us as we explore the vision improvement journeys of our guest. Learn about natural myopia control, known vision biology, science, and practical ways to reduce your dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

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).

Not really a podcast. More just the audio file of my recent video explaining intermediate distance active focus, and some troubleshooting ideas for vision improvement progress.

-2.25 diopters to (mostly) no more glasses in a year. Lots of details on possible plus lens use for additional improvement opportunity.
Michaela found active focus in a way we haven't explored before.
Also two young children, discussing mistakes made, lessons learned, one almost out of glasses now, the other lens free altogether.

This is a hardcore episode. All the things you can do with endmyopia and understanding biology and stimulus and diopters, if you really have a complex eyeball situation to sort out.
As always, no doctors and no medical advice here.
Dr. Morris Waxler is the former Chief of Surgical and Diagnostics Branch, Division of Opthalmic Devices at the FDA. He explains in great and lurid detail how you are entirely on your own, taking changes on LASIK. This is stuff none of the surgeons will tell you, and you probably really want to know before going in for this procedure.
Well, this feat took Erik a little while, but all worth it in the end. Check out this progress episode!
Another episode of awesome 20/20 gains. Dan asks lots of questions so if you're on the fast gains track and want to know how it will derail, this episode is for you.
A little rough audio on my end, since ... stuck on the back of a tiny island. Didn't bring proper gear. Perhaps still worth it though, for Andie's story!
Another episode is ready! Zoltan goes from -2.50 to mostly not needing glasses. Also some interesting side notes on hair loss and dental development in children.
Great episode with James, we've been talking about making this one happen since last year!
Today we're chatting with Greg who is down to a 1.00 diopter for night time driving, and no glasses needed during the day. Great progress update!
Join us for this great episode today, Nick went from 30 years behind -2.00 glasses (and -1.25 of astigmatism) to excellent natural eyesight.
Today, a chat with Al who is a paramedic, surfer, background in sports science and nutrition. Al has managed to reduce -4 diopters of myopia down to -1.50, and completely reversed his previously high astigmatism. Join us for this excellent chat!
Join us for this excellent chat with Joey, who has used his surfing hobby to make great strides reducing his myopia.
Much requested, a parent and child myopia recovery podcast episode. Come join our chat with Simon, who helped his 10 year old son reverse his -2.75 diopter myopia.
Another high myopia progress report success-update-story. Join us for a great chat with Stephanie, making excellent strides in reducing her diopter dependence.
Today we’re chatting with Shelly, who besides being quite active in our Le Meow forum, has also been making most excellent gains in the eyeballs department. Reducing her myopia from -4.25 to -1.25, that’s a lot less diopter dependence. Join us for this progress update chat!
Today we're chatting with Clare, who is three whole diopters of reductions into her journey back to 20/20. Join us for this entertaining episode!
Today we have on Sheri, who gives us the rundown on her reducing her myopia by half - so far. This is a great progress update, join us for this chat!
Today it's Al-Irfan discussing his journey from -4.25 diopters down to -2.50 diopters. He's well on his way to 20/20 eyesight - join us and get all the details of how he's gotten this far with lowering myopia, already.
Today we have on Kent who successfully reduced his astigmatism by 75% (and counting). He also significantly reduced his spherical myopia and is well on the way to a life without glasses.
Today we're talking to Joonas who managed to reverse most of his myopia in the span of two years. Daytime mostly lens free, Joonas shares his experience with us.
Lareuns recounts his progress from -3.75 diopters of myopia down to currently -1.00 diopters. Join us for a great chat, and some low diopter management tips.
Today with have on Rui, who used to battle major headaches with her glasses, and a very high diopter correction. Luckily now a year later she is doing great without headaches and much less diopters.
Today, it's Gina's turn to extoll the many virtues of a virtually imaginary beard, and his countless teachings of about all of your darling eyeballs and all of their ability to get you back to natural 20/20 eyesight.
Today we're talking to Leah, who has managed to significantly improve her eyesight in the past year and a half. Three diopters of less myopia, headed out of high myopia territory, this is her progress update.
Today we have Isak, who reversed his very low -0.75 myopia. This is an important episode if you are just beginning to experience myopia, especially if retail lens-sellers are pressuring you into buying their 1000% mark-up glasses. Realize that you can deal with this without resorting to a 'treatment' that may lead to a lifetime glasses subscription and increasingly poor eyesight. Fix it now, and keep your 20/20 vision.
Today we're talking to Matt who reversed just about all of his myopia. An impressive feat considering that he started at -5 diopters. His story, in this cast of the pods.
Today we're talking to Megan, who has reduced her high myopia from -10 diopters to -6 diopters, and with some great tricks to boot. Listen in as we explore reducing diopter dependence, improving quality of life, getting eyes away from artificial focal planes.
In today's episode we talk to Alex, who reduced his dependence on glasses from -3.75 diopters, to passing the DMV glasses exam - no more lens correction required for driving. That's amazing progress and something that the lens selling cabal certainly would tell you is not possible. Possible or not, have a listen to how Alex reversed his myopia.
Today on the Shortsighted Podcast we're talking to Louise who had LASIK to correct her vision and since has had her eyesight get worse again - the point of needing glasses. Fortunately Louise found endmyopia and with it answer to correcting her eyes, this time without surgical interventions
