Hi everyone! Welcome to another episode of the 21andsensory podcast. On today's episode I have special guest Jake Steiner. Jake established Endmyopia.org as a resource to offer people the opportunity to explore the science behind our eyesight.

Jake advocates for an evidence-based approach to understanding myopia (which is a word that means Nearsighted-ness)and he explores methods to potentially reverse it, he has his own experience reversing his -5 diopter myopia. He has helped over 1.2million people reduce their dependence on corrective lenses through his website, popular YouTube, Twitter, Facebook group, Discord and Forum. Jake stresses that he is not a medical doctor or optometrist, he just set out to solve a problem he encountered. So yeah i'm super interested to have a chat with Jake as I actually wear glasses 24/7!

DISCLAIMER from Jake's website 

We see myopia as a refractive state. Not an error, and certainly not an illness or medical condition. We explore scientific ideas here, not medical ones. Any advice and suggestions provided by Jake or @endmyopia is 100% unlicensed, unsanctioned, un-endorsed by the optometry establishment - because we discuss science and not medicine  Everything we discuss is also highly experimental, and you should absolutely always seek a sanctioned opinion if you are experiencing health issues or medical concerns. Lens use specific comments are for discussion only, and should not be considered medical advice, nor any of other suggestions provided herein. Depending on your local laws you may need to consult a local optometrist for prescriptions and medical advice. When driving, or any activity requiring full 20/20 vision, you should always wear your glasses that provide the full correction necessary for the task. If you have symptoms that might require medical attention, please visit an ophthalmologist or hospital!
