New For Late 2022 / 2023

Full BackTo20/20 Developer Edition: 95 guided sessions. One-on-one support with Jake. 200+ pro topic videos. VIP forum membership. Money back guarantee.

This is our #1 selling course 🏆 for 8 years running. (updated for demanding screen jobs)

You’re here, seriously thinking about making a change for the sake of your darling eyeballs. A worthwhile goal and something that I can hopefully help you accomplish.

Note: This is the developer edition version of the BackTo20/20 course. It contains seven additional sessions over the regular course, along with a number of changes to the regular course content, progression, and timing. Various habit building recommendations, break schedules, and spare time activity suggestions are also different.

Use this version of BackTo20/20 only if you are a programmer / developer, or have a similarly demanding screen “focused” job. Video editors, architects, and similar profession that require many hours of sustained attention to specific details on screens are the audience for this course. You tend to take fewer breaks and your focus on the screen is more demanding on your eyes than others, you are more likely to over-focus, have less ideal posture, and ignore eye strain. The course is tweaked for this scenario.

For those who have regular screen work (office work, reading text, writing, screens not a serious primary focus) the normal BackTo20/2 course will work fine. That course will work better for less demanding screen time at work. It involves a bit less focus on breaks, managing a balance between concentrating on work and not over straining eyes. Note that we always operate under the assumption that you likely use screens for work. It’s the screen being the primary focus all day every day, and contents requiring absolute focus at all times that the developer course seeks to address specifically.

Let’s go over what all we do as part of this course:

First and most important tor long term success: We don’t do eye exercises, or complicated activities. We will look at making small adjustments to your habits, built into little 20 minute sessions, will get you all ongoing improvements without impact your need to be effective with your screen work.

I throw a fair bit of first-hand comments from endmyopia students here, like this one:

How BackTo20/20 Works

Use stimulus and strain knowledge to beat myopia.

Some basics: You already know that glasses aren’t the answer, and that myopia is part strain, part lens-induced. I won’t get into all that again, here.

But what about the alternatives? Eye exercises are nonsense. Bates doesn’t apply to modern lens-induced myopia. Vitamins might make your eye lashes silky smooth, but they won’t fix the eyeball’s axial length or relax your focusing muscle.

There are a few who focus on the glasses. Which, that’s the right start (for amateurs).

But they’re still wrong.

Your eyesight happens where? In your eyes?

No. Your eyesight happens in your visual cortex. It happens in your BRAIN. And even the part of your eyeball that’s receiving the focused beam of light, the retina, is actually not part of the eye – it is part of the brain.

Dealing with the full picture, we must.

It’s true. Biology fact. Retina, connected by the optic nerve to the cortex, is part of the brain.

So while some guys are obsessing about plus lens therapy or not wearing glasses, they’re still entirely missing the point. The point which is, we have to talk to your brain, your visual cortex, about the problem you’re having.

The problem in part created by glasses, and now fully obscured from the brain by the glasses.

We will deal a lot with diopters, no question. But while some do what seems the same as I do and still get only marginal results, my clients (that’s you, shortly) get real, tangible improvements. Because we (you) get it. Diopters, stimulus, the whole lot of what we’ll cover in the sessions, targets your visual cortex first, and your eyeball second.

I’m the eye guru, lacking a lot of false modesty, because I understand the real problem. I’ll earn the title by teaching it all to you, in simple 20 minute sessions, and leading you to action and better eyesight.

And if I’m wrong? Send a quick e-mail to the impartial, not-ruled-by-me refunds department, and they’ll send you your money back. No questions.

But I’m not wrong. 😉

And here in BackTo20/20 you learn how to get these gains.

20 Minutes To Success

We covered that not many out there know what they’re talking about.

But even if they did, they still wouldn’t get you to better eyesight. Why? Because every one of the (rather few) insightful avenues I ever found, totally forget that .. you also have a life.

You’re not going to quit your job and move up to Jake’s misty mountain top eye retreat ashram. For this developer course especially, you want to keep doing what you do for work, but also not continue screwing up your eyesight. Speaking long term, you aren’t even going to spend 10 minutes a day, three months from now, doing an exercise.

That’s why they’d all fail regardless. One has to not just understand the eye, and how to change it, but also how to change the people who have those eyeballs in their heads. (that’s you)

The BackTo20/20 developer course assumes that you have a demanding screen job.

I assume that you’ll take 20 minutes to learn for a while, while it’s all new and exciting. I assume that after that time (many many months of testing narrowed that time to about 8 weeks for most people), you’ll probably get distracted by all the other things going on in your life.

Myopia, vanquished.

So here’s what I did. I know I have an approximate eight week window (give or take, some take it slower and make up for it with a longer attention span).

In that eight weeks I’m going to teach you what I learned in about 620 weeks (or over 10,000 hours, but who’s counting .. and that’s not actually counting the years since, learning from participant experiences, and also the eight months tweaking the program itself).

I’m going to put into eight weeks, in simple 20 minute sessions, a real “guru-level” of insight for you.

But enough with the promises.

The First 30 Sessions

Your problem, the one that isn’t going to go away, is your eyes staring at screens, better part of every day.

Fixing your eyesight, considering that we can’t remove the root cause of it, would seem basically impossible. It’s like you saying “hey Jake, I’m going to keep eating pizza, get me in shape.”

Because it’s such an involved bit of magic (fixing a problem without fixing the problem), we dedicate the better part of 30 sessions to it. You have to absolutely be able to look at screens all day, without your eyes getting worse. And actually, which now verges on the absurd, you want your eyes to get BETTER, while exposed to the problem.

I’ve got all that for you. Yes, keep your developer job. Look at screens all day. I’ll still get you better eyesight.

There are hundreds and hundreds of these in our Facebook group alone.

How do we do it?

I’m not going to preach. I’ll teach you things, instead. The what’s, and the why’s. And the how’s. Remember the measurement e-mails? A bit like that. A real, simple, tangible activity, and then ways you will use that to start working your eyes around the strain.

There are guys out there who desperate try to copy the @endmyopia method. You may have read about “plus lens therapy”. Like a monkey stealing your car.

Rather than just beating tools onto rocks, I’ll show the real meaning of things like plus lenses. How focal plane creates the wrong, or the right kind of stimulus. How you test what you need, how you do it, and then how you quantify whether it’s working.

And we’ll always come back around to what really matters. How all these things affect your visual cortex, the brain behind the curtain, pulling all the strings. How we’ll give the right sort of inputs so that your brain makes the right kinds of decisions.

Did you know that your minus lenses completely surpassed the feedback loop that would tell you about eye strain?

All you’ve got left right now is random headaches and neck pain, and dry eyes.

It’s a gag, those glasses you’re wearing. We’ll fix it all, and then you’ll look back and think “gee, this was really all rather simple.” Which makes me less amazing in your future hindsight. Just remember though, part of the whole genius of this is that I not only make it look easy, but I make it be easy (for you).

And yet another DMV exam passed.

In 30 sessions you’ll never have to worry about a higher diopter number again.

But we’re just getting started.

The Next 30 Sessions

The second 30 sessions are all about what you will do, when you no longer have to worry about close-up destroying your eyesight.

By that time you should consider yourself literate in how your eyes work, and a lot of basics on optics, diopters, strain, and balancing your screen time needs. It’s all really obvious by now, I’m just filling in the blanks.

We’ll talk a lot about distance vision. How distance vision is the tool to create the stimulus that tells your visual cortex that you need those eyes to provide more distance focus ability. That your eyeballs are possibly too long, and need some axial change.

You won’t just be reading. You’ll experience these things.

You’ll notice double vision, multiple clear images, where before there was only blur. You’ll actually witness your brain adjusting along with your eyes, and having to “recalibrate” your vision. It’s going to be, quite possibly, one of the more amazing experience you’ll have (if you appreciate your body, and pay attention to your senses).

The ballgame will change completely, as you start to use your glasses as a crutch, as a tool to induce stimulus, to get you just enough and make your eyes work for the rest.

And yes, you’ll realize it’s all so shockingly simple, and I’ll have to fend for you to keep giving me some credit. I’ll have to remind you that you came here some months ago (as in, today), and you didn’t know the first thing. You trusted the optometrist, and you believed that your eyes were broken. You were resigned to a life behind glasses.

Everything seems easy in hindsight, easy after you conquered the beast (or just the optometrist).

Game changing, getting your eyes back.

And you know … sometimes readers give me a hard time about all the 20/20 gains reports I post on endmyopia.

We have thousands and thousands of improvement reports, all the way from high diopter myopia with significant reductions, to low myopia and completed 20/20 results. I’m immensely proud of all participants and every single report tells a personal story of victory, success, taking action, overcoming skepticism and inertia and excuses and procrastination.

I share a few of them with you here to help you get excited. Barely scratching the surface of course, but just think … how cool will it be to add your own success story to the site?

Priceless! (or well … rather there is a price tag if we count my support and this program, but that makes it still aaalmost priceless)

.Even More Sessions

I am still adding things from time to time, to this day. Things you’ll want to try out, things that may keep you motivated. Things that you, the future expert, will be able to make sense of, and experiment with.

For example, I’ve got this somewhat mind blowing activity you HAVE TO experience. It only works at dusk, it only works once you did all the other things, and it works best if you have dusk, and neon lit signs. And it works best if you already had at least two diopter reductions successfully completed.

We need to talk about what you do when you’re not at work using screens. Besides fixing the daily ongoing eye strain issues you’re experiencing now, we have to make sure you have good habits to not just live in an endless cycle of close-up and strain.

All this takes time. Going from reducing daily strain, to figuring out distance vision needs, to then slowly untangle some of your possibly unconsidered free time habits.

In that scenario, after you did all sorts of work already, been improving your eyesight, you might be able to get as much as a full diopter of better vision. As in instantly, in a matter of 30 minutes, your eyes “snap” into a whole diopter better vision.

Not fair to bring that up now. All I’m saying is .. this is a whole lot more than just some “Internet course”. This is proper awesome-level stuff.

And remember, it’s all about habit changes. And I’m here to support you all along the way, one reduction at a time.

Your Personal Guru

All those sessions are on a timer.  You can’t skip ahead.

Sure, I could put it all in a book.  In fact, I’ve done that.  You know what?

Doesn’t work.

A bit part of what you are getting here isn’t just the “what”.  This only works if you apply it all, if you make new habits, if you do all the things, in order, at the right time.  Trust me on this, there is so, so much failure, without the correct approach.  I’ve seen tons of it, back when I tried to make it a book-format.  Worst thing ever.

But do it right, it’s easy.  The timer, simple as it is now, was a total revelation in better therapy.

But also, I’m not putting this up and then going on forever-vacation.  Nice as it would be.

You’re going to have questions.  You can see the support forum on the site now, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of support I give on a daily basis.  Once you complete the sign-up on this page, you can read all the support forum threads (nice!).

I give you the keys, with your membership.  Drop in on the forum any time.  Mi casa, su casa.  Ask me whenever you get stuck.

That all by itself is a huge value.

You can also get the proper guru level membership, and see me in-person.  I’m not hiding (I’m just a tad expensive, and overbooked).  But if you don’t want to spend that much money, the forum gets you Jake-time just as well.

Quick Note:  We have participants from more than 25 countries.  We keep things in English here, to keep my brain from getting fried.  I can speak five languages fairly fluently, and muddle my way through another four.  In some very specific cases I’ll help in languages other than English, if need be.

I also keep the group small and manageable.  No more than 8 invites per month, going for quality and a sense of community, rather than huge numbers.

Myopia is a choice (not a great one, either).

And think of this, truly.  How many pioneers in any field can you personally ask for help?

And sure, I’m not super special.  I refer to myself as the librarian, basically the one collecting these thousands of experiences, tweaking the approach, applying feedback and best practices.  But usually guys in this position write a book, or put out some course, but they usually definitely don’t stand behind their ‘product’ with real one-on-one support.

Seriously.  Which of your favorite authors or creators can you message right now, today, and have a detailed answer from, by tomorrow?

This isn’t some sales pitch.  I don’t even know how much longer I’ll be doing this, the personal support part.  At some point I’ll let advanced students do it, or maybe just have students rely on course materials only.  It takes so much time out of my day, every day (7 days a week, no holidays).  I love to be involved for now but for sure the day will come when people say, “hey remember back when you could just contact Jake directly for definitive answers?”.

That day is coming.  For now and if you’re serious about eyeballs, take me up on this offer.

 What You Should Expect

Initial results vary widely.

It depends on your myopia degree, lens use, age, and many more factors.  Many of my clients though get about 20% diopter reduction in the first 90 days, and about 0.75 diopters per year thereafter.

It doesn’t take much effort at all to maintain ongoing improvement.

First you improve quickly as you fix potential dangerous overprescription by your optometrist, and resolve the ciliary muscle spasm you are experiencing right now.  That’s a great first step.

Then improvement continues more gradually.  The biology has to change, much of our myopia is part of a slow physiological change that happened over many, many years.  To reverse axial elongation and other factors, time plays a role.

There is no other approach on planet earth with these kind of 20/20 gains results.

You probably saw accounts of participants improving a lot more, a lot faster.  Sometimes there is a greater degree of ciliary spasm, or a combination of other factors.

This is possible for you as well.  Great it it happens, though keep realistic expectations.

The Definitive Guarantee

Remember the “I know you” e-mail?  You may have thought for a moment that I’m clairvoyant.  But of course, I’m not.  I just know the type who will read my e-mails, go through all that detail, and continue to explore.

It’s some extrovert types who really care about their body and are willing to try new things, and a lot of the type I described before.  Slow to change, skeptic, take some convincing.

I can’t blame you.  I’m like, too.  So what do I do?  I posed this question to my team.

My team says I have to assume all the risk.

I didn’t like that answer.  I’m neurotic and cautious too, remember.  What’s to stop you from running off with my 10,000 hours of work, my time maintaining this site, and answering your questions in the forum?

Turns out, nothing is going to stop you.  Here’s why:

I set up a separate department.  All they do is process refunds (it’s really just one part time guy, we don’t get that many refund requests).  Part-time guy doesn’t talk to me before processing a refund.  You just send an e-mail to [email protected] with your Paypal confirmation number, and he processes the refund.  He’s here every day for 4 hours (except Sundays, that slacker), so at most it’ll take a day or two to get your money back.  I won’t even know about it.

So there you have it.  Risk, on me.

But the team said it’s not enough.  A real skeptic will be stroking his or her chin, still not convinced.

Seriously, you guys.

So, more risk on my part.  You can take my whole, entire eight weeks of sessions, ask eight hundred questions in the forum, and then up to 60 days later .. you can still get a full refund, walk out with all your money.  This time you do have to e-mail me though (we’ve got to be at least a little bit fair), show me your forum posts, and that you haven’t made progress.

Hey, you could easily make things up, if you wanted.  Me the skeptic says, this makes it pretty easy for just about anybody to get my whole program for nothing.

And you could.  I’m relying on your appreciation of the process to not stiff me on the bill.

So there, I’m assuming all the risk.  That won’t be your excuse for letting your eyes continue to suffer.  😉

** Update **:  Since many people ask me this in e-mails, a quick note on the 60 day refund policy window timing, specifically.

In the first 60 days you’re meant to experience:

  1. Two diopter reductions (one for close-up, one for distance)
  2. measurable increase in close-up distance vision (via centimeter measurement)
  3. measurable increase in distance vision (via Snellen eye chart)

Of course your journey isn’t complete in 60 days.  But by that time you’ll know whether the program is working for you, and I know whether we work well together.  If you don’t have two reduced diopter lenses and measurable improvements in vision in around 60 days, I shouldn’t have your money anyway.

Though not seeing all those improvement milestones very, very rarely happens.  Even so, want you to feel reasonably assured that I am taking all the steps to ensure your wellbeing and fairness in everything we do here, together.

Get these gains, or owe Jakey nothing.

Your Alternatives

Glasses.  Contact lenses.  The lens pusher filling out the pad, selling you more lenses.  It’s an option.

LASIK surgery.  A quick peak around the Internet, including the U.S. FDA might convince you otherwise.  The risks are high, and irreversible.  It’s also rather expensive, more so than my program.

Internet courses.  Or as I call it, the monkeys trying to steal my car.  At best.  Or just plain made up schemes that do nothing.  By all means go try them, I’m not trying to stop you.  Just don’t bring bad habits you learned there, back to the program.  Always start fresh, if you come here after being abused by the Internet weirdos.

Bates method.  If you’re into medieval things, leaches and whatnot.

Eye acupuncture.  Neat stuff actually.  Except for recovering your eyesight.

There’s more but I honestly don’t know anything that works.  If there was, I’d have assimilated it into my ever growing arsenal of tools to impart to you.

Low myopia can be the hardest to reverse.

.The “50% Discount”

I already sufficiently made you nervous by pointing out my regular fee.  And maybe a bit more by comparing me to LASIK (which yes, is expensive.  and crap).

Here’s the thing, though.

Right now BackTo20/20 is primarily text based sessions.  There are not yet a whole lot of cool audio guides or fancy video.  I quite frankly think those two aspects are necessary for a truly kick-ass program, something I can be fully proud of.  And charge arms and legs for.

I’m working on that.  There will be continually more audio guides and fancy video.

But today there are still relatively few of those, so I’m giving you a break, accordingly.  I peg the cost of BackTo20/20 to the price of LASIK, for the sake of simplicity and some similarity in terms of competitive options.  They charge $1.500 to $3.000 per eye.

Pricey, yea?

That’s a fancy laser, and a cute nurse, and some arrogant laser-operating-doctor (hard to deny that’s pretty cool for a professional resume).  Yes ultimately I give you better results, but I’m text, they’re shooting beams of lasers.

Until I have that rectified with audio guides and video, I’m giving you BackTo20/20 for … half.

Half of the lower end of the LASIK price range.  And gains that you get yourself, and that will actually last (unlike LASIK).

Watch your diopter dependence melt away.  

Less than half really, and I’ll throw in a payment plan.  I know that you’re taking some convincing to take action, and even though the value is through the roof, we all have bills to pay.  I don’t have “discounts” past this though, no point in asking.  This is pretty barebones, considering what you’d otherwise have to pay to get me (or anybody who can do for you what I will, in this program).

Le Rough Guide

BackTo20/20 also includes Le Rough Guide:

This 11 chapter guide work great for a condensed summary of all the tools you need to work on your eyesight.

Keep reaching for it to help refresh you on all the big picture things to focus on.  Also use this to help easily organize the 1,200+ articles from the Website into just all the things you need on your journey.  Of course you have the structured lessons to rely on.  This guide is here for whenever you want to dive into all the DIY resources in a more organized fashion.

The Le Meow Forum

Get access to our 90,000 monthly views community forum.  

There is nothing else like this online, anywhere.  Why?  Because rehashed 100 year old Bates Method eye exercises don’t reverse anybody’s myopia.  Because there are lots of clowns on the Internet with a credit card payment form and lots of promises, but little in the way of a real community and real results.

Screenshot of our forum:

You’ll have full access to our private forum.

Meanwhile elsewhere there are lots of Internet marketers and self-professed Bates teachers claiming they can reverse myopia.

They can’t.

They don’t have the right tools.  They know how to do Internet marketing and they have credit card forms.  What they don’t have is a a real community and real numbers.

Recent forum stats:

90,000 views per month, average.

And don’t forget our Facebook group, currently over 24,000 members large.  You can scroll back all the way to 2016 to find thousands of first hand confirmed improvement reports.  Nothing and nobody else out there can claim this level of success.  Success that I will make work for you, too.

Recent Facebook group stats:

That’s a whole lot of people all over the world, discussing endmyopia – and their vision improvement journeys.

Why do you not see anybody else posting actual numbers and first hand reports?

Because they don’t have them.  You’d be forgiven to wonder if vision improvement is actually possible, or of all of the Internet is just trying to get your credit card number with a bunch of far fetched promises.

Well, wonder you might.  Because mostly, they do.

It makes me upset personally.  It’s a whole lot of Bates Method copy cats who don’t understand science and try to eek out a living selling nonsensical eye exercises.  Who has ever gotten rid of multi diopter myopia by sticking a finger in front of their eyes?   It’s such utter bullshit, hard to imagine who falls for it.  And if it’s not Bates Method then they’re copycats trying to sell endmyopia under another name.  Except they barely understand the core concepts, let alone have 20 years of experience or actual results. 

Remember, with me you get THE ORIGINAL GUY who figured this all out, and I’m online daily to answer your questions in our support forum.

This is what you want.

You want hundreds, and thousands of these.  First hand reports, going back decades.  For anyone who finds endmyopia, finds our resources, and still goes and buys some eye exercise course, they’ve got bigger issues than their eyesight.

Another one, just for the fun of it:

You see these.  This is the real deal.

I could go on posting these all day.  All week, all year.  My e-mail inbox sees an average of 700 messages per day, and dozens of improvement reports.  Mainly I post Facebook group updates though since that’s all first hand stuff that you can go look up yourself anytime.

Option #1: BackTo20/20 For Developers
This is everything you really need. For the structured course and support, this covers it all. If McDonalds is the junk food of the world, this is your own organic garden. You grow it, no mystery ingredients, no creeping myopia festering in your eyes. Understand exactly how your biology works, become the master of your own (eyesight) destiny.Big words, but nothing less will adequately describe the power you will get from learning everything I know about myopia and healthy eyesight.

If you have questions about the course, e-mail me, I usually will get back to you within a day.

Remember, this is structured sessions. No time wasted, proven over a decade and a huge number of students.

The lens sellers will tell you that this is impossible (they don’t want to lose a glasses subscriber).

Course Prices & Regular BackTo20/20

Each course takes me about two years to run and test with a small group. It’ll still take ongoing work to provide support, and tweak according to feedback and any issues participants experience.

It’s all highly experimental at all times and somewhat stressful for me to take responsibility to say “hey I can help you with your eyesight”. Assigning a cost to this is somewhat arbitrary but in context of money I make elsewhere it is “cheap” as far as you being able to ask me questions anytime and get my ongoing commitment to the course contents.

That and I own lens stock, for all those who prefer to just wear glasses. 😂

Fun?

I managed to get this course out of my two year “internal test” round just at the end of 2022 and halfway between nervous and excited to see how well it does.

As always I provide personal support and tweak contents as needed to make sure you have a good experience.

If your work involves screens but isn’t “the whole job”, ie you aren’t coding or designing or doing very intensive screen focus all day every day, the regular BackTo20/20 course will work fine. If you’re not sure what you need, e-mail me with details about your work.

Option #2: The Personal Guru

BackTo20/20 is everything I’ve learned over a decade and thousands of participants, built into a single approach that works for almost everyone. It’s the brain child of a whole lot of interviews with eyesight health professionals all over the world, from the experience of helping thousands of clients, and lots of tweaks in between.

If you don’t just want the product though, but also its creator, this is the way to go.

The Personal Guru gets you six Zoom chat sessions with me personally, where we really dig into your eyesight and personal needs. At key milestones during the regular program sessions we’ll sit down for a chat and get in depth on your measurement results, symptoms, and ways to maximize progress. I love these sessions, I wish I could do them with everyone! (but then I’m also a huge introvert who rarely even answers his own phone)

200+ Pro Topic Videos

I made about 200 pro topic videos over the past decade, explaining so many of the things you’ll encounter on your vision improvement journey.  Available only here.

Endmyopia isn’t some fly-by-night eye exercise, eye yoga nonsense course mill that you find endlessly on the Internet.  This is going on 20 years of hands-on experience and careful review of things that work, and things that don’t.  There is nothing and nobody else out there who has gone this deep into the myopia rabbit hole to figure out eyesight.

It’s obsessive, it’s trying every angle, every trick, every thing anybody has ever brought up that looked promising.

And if you want to watch a whole bunch of videos where I (terribly) explain how to manage any of the challenges you might encounter along the way, this is the place to find them.

This is the original madness.

Not available from anyone else, anywhere else.  While you will spend time getting your eyes back in order, you’ll have plenty of good company.  Including direct support from me, all my structured sessions, all of these videos guides, and also a huge online community (more on that in a moment).

200 pro topic videos.  Here is the place to get it all.

The Shortsighted Podcast

I used to do The Shortsighted Podcast free and publicly.  You can find nearly 50 episodes of it on the Website.

I’ve since decided to release new episodes to paying members only.  Finally got tired of Youtube commenters and riff-raff, working for free, endlessly, tirelessly just eventually reaches a limit.  And from there it’s either quitting – or turning to a more discerning audience (aka you).

All new Shortsighted Podcast episodes* will be available from our Pro Topic Video list.

Piotr’s episode, available from the Pro Topic Video link on your member page.

I think of these as invaluable for getting insights and ideas from fellow participants, tips, hints, strategies, failure points, and lots more.

In quite a few of these episodes I also answer questions, offer advice, elaborate on particular approaches or scenarios.  For example just recently I explained quite a few ideas about getting past the last diopter, and help for parents dealing with young myopic children.  There are plenty of times that it’s specifically the interaction in a podcast spurs on advice and details that may also help you.

And of course, motivation.  Having others tell the stories of their journeys certainly may help keep you motivated.

* No guarantees for frequency of new episodes.  We have been doing these for four years or so now, though not on a specific schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the things people ask us about BackTo20/20:
There are currently 70 sessions in the program.  We continue to expand and add more material, but all you need is in those 70 sessions. The first 30 sessions cover all of the close-up and eye strain topics, as well as close-up glasses and various related topics.  After that we get into distance vision, more stimulus, and many of the advanced subjects.
You can, you can even use credit cards with Paypal, but you don’t have to.  You can also use our regular encrypted payment gateway, straight with any VISA or MasterCard, and you can even pay with Bitcoins if you want.  Like pirates, arrr!
Yes.  Show us you participate, and we offer a 60 day refund guarantee if you aren’t seeing results.  The first 30 days is no questions asked, just e-mail [email protected].
We have a separate add-on option for young children.  We do recommend that you have a myopic adult in the immediate family take the adult course first, to gain a first hand understanding of the process.  This will make working with your child’s eyes much more effective.  And of course we provide tailored support to help you with child myopia related questions, in the support forum.
Forum support is as listed for each BackTo20/20 option for all current and previous subscribers.  If you need help past the therapist support expiration, drop us a line!
Most of what you need is knowledge.  Beyond that, measuring tools are just a print out or a few dollars.  You will likely want reduced diopters to protect your eyes and get the opportunity for positive stimulus – we don’t sell these, but you can buy them inexpensively online, or from your local optician.  Search the blog for lots more on the subject of lens purchases, or post your questions in the forum!
The material remains intellectual property of their respective owners.  You are granted access and are free to use BackTo20/20 as long as you like!
Payments are all processed in Paypal, your payment information is never sent to us directly.  Paypal also guarantees delivery and refund processing.  We also take all of your other personal information very seriously, using database encryption, hacker protection software, and third party audits.
A year from now you’ll be a year older.

Are you going to still be squinting at your screen, the usual headaches and diopter increases?

Or will you look back, proud of yourself for your decision to have started getting those eyeballs back to healthy?

No more astigmatism and 70% reduced myopia.

See you in Back To 20/20!

Cheers,
