Jake Steiner is a semi-retired stock trader and investor. His personal passion is understanding human eye sight and has spent the past 20 years in vision biology science, exploring nearsightedness prevention, and reversal methods. Jake hosts the largest vision improvement community with many tens of thousands of participants and has written over 1,200 articles on vision biology and myopia control. We have an interesting conversation about what is causing myopia in society and how myopia is treated, but there isn’t much out there in regards to reversing the effects of and curing myopia. Jake tells me how Lasik became approved and the big risks that come with laser eye surgery that may end up affecting you for the rest of your life.

“The fact that there’s no prevention or alternatives, or conversation, like Mcdonald’s you know is bad. There’s no question about it, but you go there, it’s a choice. Myopia is still in this weird category where you’re just being denied actual science and information.” 11:30
