The Superhumanize Podcast Why Your Eyeglasses May Be Doing More Harm than Good, and How to Begin Fixing Your Own Eyesight with Jake Steiner
Many of us struggle with eyesight as we age. What if I told you, your eyesight could actually improve with age?
Can you reverse your nearsightedness and throw away your glasses? According to today's guest, Jake Steiner, you can. Jake says:

Jake is the founder of endmyopia.org, the largest online vision improvement community and he has helped tens of thousands of people improve their eyesight and even reverse myopia.
