No surgery, no glasses, I figured out how myopia actually works and how to reverse it (and no, not eye exercises!) The mainstream tells you it's impossible - but the whole concept that myopia is an illness, is complete unscientific nonsense (a 100 billion dollar a year profitable nonsense, though).How Myopia Actually Happens: http://endmyopia.org/end-myopia-home/Five Basic Steps To Improve Eyesight: http://endmyopia.org/how-to-eyesight-improve-five-steps/The Wiki: https://wiki.endmyopia.org/wiki/EndMyopia_WikiFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/560893680770705Courses: https://courses.endmyopia.org/mentored-courses/Forum: https://community.endmyopia.orgDISCLAIMER: We see myopia as a refractive state.
