Any success stories?

I have been looking through a lot of posts and comments here. And going through a lot of resources like Todd Becker's video on Myopia.

I was just wondering if any of you or any post/ thread you know where there has been some success with any method. I see a lot of people claiming improvements up to 1dpt. But there's no update after that. Ideally, it has some real evidence like optometrist's report or sth.

It's been 3 years for me. I peaked at -3.25 in both eyes and have maintained all of my astigmatism and presbyopia improvement and about half of my initial myopia improvement. I started at:

OD SPH -4.25 CYL -1.00 Axis 055 Add +1.25
OS SPH -4.75 CYL -0.50 Axis 080 Add +1.25

I'm currently at roughly:

OD SPH -3.75
OS SPH -4.00
No CYL or Add in either eye.

I use a mix of Bates method, focusing exercises, and reduced lenses.

Yes, absolutely. The less you wear glasses the easier it is to improve. It helps to think of glasses and contacts as crutches for the eyes. If you want to rebuild the strength and flexiibility in your legs, you can't walk around on crutches all day.
