To me it looks legit and actually makes sense. If you think it's fake, please share your opinion on telling me why.
Thanks!
I am not saying it is fake, I am just doubting weather or not it actually gets you back to 20/20 from high myopia at the time..
It's said that the first 2 diopters are easy because those are the 'bulk' kind of diopters that you probably definetely do not need to be able to see your cpu screen.
But it is then also said that the amount of diopters that you decrease at once slows down the further you progress.. if you're highly myopic you can come down 2 diopters for just behind your laptop compared to seeing 2km away (to put seeing far away clearly into perspective).
Whereas, if you're down to -3 or -2 you could probably decrease by 0,5 diopter at a time.
Also something very important what he did say somewhere on the website, make sure your cilinders are correct for the fastest progress.
I first went to wearing my old glasses behind my laptop.. the last time I wore those.. I was 14 years old and I got them when I was 11. You are still growing, so the cilinder was off (also confirmed by the opticien.. when you age your eyes tend to become a bit better at the focus part, this is where the cilinder comes in, I actually needed less cilinder for one eye.. it just gives directional blur weather you want to or not, making your eye unable to focus properly).
Those old glasses were about -1.5 less than the high prescription ones that I had last. Now I only use those for driving a car at night (clear glasses) and the sunglasses throughout the day but I am sure that at this point they are too strong too.
I kind of got stuck with those old glasses (website also does not advice wearing old glasses but Im like wth I can't afford to buy tons of glasses Ill just see how far I can come with wearing this old one) and at some point I started to be able to read licence plates at a distance that is considered save to drive cars. And I was absolutely not having any benefit of wearing them behind my laptop anymore.
So since then I did order a pair with -7 in them with -0.5 cilinder for both eyes (doing the calculation thing as instructed on the website), from the website that they recommended for about 50 euro/dollar I forgot what currency exactly. I didn't add a lot of fancy stuff on it though and the frame was like 6-7 bucks..
After a week or so I could read the first 3 rows from the chart (printed and hung somewhere in my room at 3 m distance, the A4 size one) and sometimes I could read the fourth line too. And it's been probably about half a year since I did order those.
For one eye, the cilinder is off and I really notice that I can significantly see LESS with that one and have a way harder time to focus on anything really (not that it CAN'T be done I was practicing outside the other day but I can't keep the focus) ...
But the other day (two weeks ago or so) I woke up and I opened the curtains and there was this lovely sun and I decided to do some random chart reading. First I put on my old -8 glasses and I was like 'wtf I can read the bottom line of the entire chart' .. and then I switched to the -7 one and I could read about 6 lines down with the eye that finally did get the right cilinder in front of it.. (Compared to the other which was still stuck at 3 almost 4 lines down).
If you're high myopic it is tricky to count what exactly your cilinder needs to be since one or two mm off using a ruler is quite a lot. It doesn't matter if you're like -3 but if you're like -9 something like I was and you can see like only a hand away from your face without blur without glasses I definetly would recommend a visit to the opticien to confirm what you measured yourself on average, on that at least. Just ask them if they would measure a new cilinder entirely just don't go on what was already in your glasses unless your cilinder is really high you could ask if they could start from any number lower than what you had in there.
Also.. one other thing I noticed.. if your spherical or diopter is higher than what you'd probably need with the proper cilinder in there.. the blur from a wrong cilinder is way less and probably doesn't matter as much.
But if you're following the method, and your aim is to first decrease a lot of spherical blur (distance) rather than cilindrical blur (directional blur) then you shouldn't mess with the cilinder too much.
What would confirm to me if this method works is, if I end up being able to read the entire chart with my -7 cpu glasses which I would basicly wear all the time at home..
And then, how far can I come down?
If you read the website, somewhere it says, every 3 diopters is about 1 mm change in the length of the ax.. to me that'd mean I'd have to change the shape of my eye by about 3 mm which is kinda a lot..
I guess I kinda went on rambling.. oops.
Oh, that video, is that a documentary that he recommended? I think I watched it. I also watched a docu (probably bookmarked it too) about how to use a lens kit and such.
(Wait I misread that you were asking if the video was fake.. ; )
If you are thinking about the 'genetic' thing.. it is not. There is NO ONE in my family other than me, my parents and one uncle of mine that have had such a high myopia.
Not even my sibling or any of my other uncles/aunts. Not even my great grandparents or anyone else that my grandparents knew of.
I think it is more of an environmental thing, especially in combination with what one might experience, and how one may handle it. Diet probably has a factor too.
Now I just listened to the first 5 min so Ill come back and say more about it if I listened more to it.
You could probably go double daily dose on Magnesium though (about 600mg) but you know, that can also already cause diarrhea. Just not as violent as in that recipe.
