Peripheral Vision: FASTER 🦄 Vision Improvement? | Endmyopia | Jake Steiner

Nothing Mark Warren suggests people to do is different from what Endmyopia suggests people to do. I feel like Mark comes off as anti-Endmyopia but I hope Mark does not actually feel that way. However, I feel that Mark means well and his explanations has helped me on my journey from back to 20/20. Below, I'll give you a summary of everything you need to know about vision improvement. The core of going back to 20/20 is that we need to relax the ciliary muscles so that it can appropriately focus on objects of various distances. People get myopia from their eyeball lengthening. This process starts with ciliary lock-up, which occurs when the muscles become too tight from looking at close-up too long. However, there is a physical limit to how much the ciliary muscles can tighten. In preparation of a close-up lifestyle, the body will elongate the eyeball in order to compensate for the ciliary muscle's physical limit. So, if people want to reverse their myopia then do the opposite: Start looking at distant objects so that the ciliary muscles can relax and focus on distant objects. Do this enough, and the eyeball will shorten to compensate, eventually going back to 20/20. The tricky part of this is that we don't want the objects too far away or else the eyes have too hard of a time trying to clear the blur. But we also don't want the object too close that we don't have any blur to clear up. Whenever we're clearing up blur we're doing Active Focus. And as Endmyopia has always advocated, it's a lifestyle. There are no exercises that will magically fix your myopia. The best thing to do is just change your lifestyle so that you incorporate Active Focus into your life. One obvious example is incorporating sports. You know, there are a ton of parallels in the adventure of improving your vision and the adventure of improving your posture. If you slouch in a chair for 40+ hours a week, it doesn't matter what exercise you do, how much you do or how intense you do. You're going to have bad posture if all you do is slouch. If you want to fix your posture you have to change the way you approach every activity in life. There's only one thing you need to have good posture, and that's have good posture. However, the difficult part is figuring out how to have good posture. How do i know if I'm using my glutes/abs/back properly? Is the way I walk okay? I feel comfortable but does that mean I'm not hurting my body? And other relevant kinesthetic questions as people establish their mind-body connection to improve their posture. Likewise, the only thing, we need to improve our vision and to get back to 20/20 is active focus. But that's the hard part, active focus. How do I know if my ciliary muscles are relaxed or locked-up? How do I know if I'm in active focus? How do I know if what I'm looking at is blurry? If I can read it clearly does that mean there is no blur? Is it just about finding the right distance? Is there more to looking at things then just distance? Endmyopia gives great advice, do a reset.Spend some time (0-60 minutes) in the start of your day without glasses. That way when you put on your glasses you can appreciate the vision that the glasses give you and this will help you figure out what is resolvable blur. But there's more, this is where Mark Warren comes in introducing jargon for things there are already terms for. The physics behind the eyes is simple, the eyes adjust its ciliary muscles and lens based on the distance of an object. However, Mark brings up visual skills that can aid us in our eyes' ability to appropriately adjust the eyes for various distances. Most notably, multiple object tracking and depth perception, or as Mark calls it "peripheral vision" and "triangulation." The tl;dr is change the way you approach looking at things. Imagine if you're playing soccer or something, You're not going to solely look at the ball and only use 5% if your vision. You're going to use all 100% of your vision by looking at the ball while tracking all the players. In the act of tracking multiple objects, your ability to perceive depth will improve. Mark also mentions another way that will improve depth perception. As anyone who drives knows you're not getting the best picture of the situation unless your head is on a swivel with your eyes. When in sync, you get a better field of view which in turn makes it easier to track the depth, distance and speed of multiple objects. Actually, if you try moving your eyes without moving your head, you'll notice that weaker depth perception. You'll notice that objects move in a more static-manner then if you were to moves your eyes in sync with your head. You know this intuitively makes sense because let's say you want to look at something to your left, but only move your eyes (without your head), then you will have a harder time tracking depth because your right eye is physically blocked from seeing the left of you. And it takes two eyes to perceive depth properly. (Note though, that there is a time to move your eyes first before moving your head. Such as, if you are avoiding confrontation and want to see if that person is still there without letting them know you're looking at them.)

Peripheral vision awareness has helped tremendously, esp the part about observing movements in the peripherals.

I just want to thank you jake. I passed the dmv vision test by using your method

Peripheral vision is something that works. If you have look at Meir Schneider’s work, you will realise that it has very great impact.

Come on man... The guy ur trying to slag off improved his eyesight from -5 to -1.5 in 10 months! I know u want to think only ur way works but fact is there are hundreds of ways to improve ur eyesight and I'm talking real scientifically proven ways not just ur active focus which is really just forcing the eyes to see better. The REAL way is through increased dynamic relaxation and awareness which leads to better seeing.

I've been using my peripheral vision to watch your videos. I can look out the window or across the room and still see you in my peripheral. In that way, I think it can be pretty helpful ;)

Is it possible that peripheral awareness techniques that Mark Warren uses just helps unlock ciliary spasm and hence helps quicken the improvements you get from active focus? I have been triangulating and noticing objects to the left, right, below and above me and it definitely helps me to get far off things into focus better as well as close up like at my computer. And is it true that stinging feeling is the ciliary muscle relaxing? I get that a lot when I use my periphery vision.

I do feel the ciliary muscle luck up during the moments of prolonged fixation. All the more reason to ditch the concave lenses because it enables the whole picture perception, reduced image, all in that detail. Ciliary muscle lock up; makes perfect sense. Somewhere along the path of life of myopia, the idea of seeing the big picture first (peripheral) - the natural and normal way of seeing, gets shifted to having to "know the details" (focus) FIRST. It's wrong, kind of like a computer with a virus. Congrats on your recovery

I agree. Peripheral vision is so important and it did great for my diopter gain, but I think it'd be more or less useless without proper AF and right differential/normalized. Endmyopia is working good to me but we are different and result may vary a lot for person to person. That's why someone promotes a magic trick!

I can’t focus! My peripheral vision is always on my field of view, keeps triggered and causes my anxiety. Everytime I am with people my peripheral vision is always on even I use my central vision

I love vision exercises, they improve your vision really fast. Try it if you like not to depend on glasses. I am super happy with the exercises! I don't sell anything. I like to depend on myself

I have seen Mark Warren videos and his tips actually worked and helped me. The guy was simply trying to help people (he stopped making videos, so basically he is not turning it into a business or anything). His points and explanations make so much sense and adds up to the logic of active focus and does not contradict it. I don't understand the defensiveness to prove that "your" method only works. Even if you disagree, I think you should discuss the scientific points and prove them wrong and not ignore his explanations altogether. Besides, when I first watched your videos I never knew anything about bates method, but I got the impression that it is a fake method designed by scammers, when I was shocked to learn that it is completely something else and that it actually works and its coaches are educated knowledgeable people who know what they talking about. You say it is unlikely for someone to improve 3 diopters in 1 year and probably his story is fake. According to what bases? according to active focus? sure, but according to triangulation? You have no idea and you don't care to know either. My point is, if you really care about the eye improvement and it is not all about proving "you are the guru and only your methos works" you would incorprate all eye relaxation methods because active focus might not work to many people while bates and triangulation do and vice versa, and they all at the end of the day serve the same result which is eye relaxation and ciliary spasm unlocking.

Peripheral vision unlocks active focus Active focus takes you to 20/20...

So how do you use your peripheral vision to know when somebody following you or behind you

Firstly I would like to say: Thank you Jake, for all that work you put into giving us all of the information and constantly trying to make it better..... Thank you! Personally i have low myopia around - 0.75 lefy eye and - 0.5 right... I have tried Mark's metod and it worked really well for like 3 days. Then no improvements at all.... I tried it mainly because I didn't know how to achieve active focus and tought that will help me achieve it.... It didn't. However looking at my peripheral vision and movim my head with my eyes really helps keeping my eyes relaxed.

I know Endmyopia is NOT the ONLY way to 20/20. There are A LOT of people who have healed their eyesight thanks to, for example, the Bates method. And there are A LOT of people who didn't get much results using the Bates method, but somehow something clicks when they hear, for example, Mark Warren's story and suddenly they are making progress. The same goes for Endmyopia. Endmyopia has helped a lot of people getting back to 20/20 or has helped them improve their eyesight. But for some Endmyopia just doesn't "click", while some other method does. That doesn't make Endmyopia "a lie" or "bad"; it's just like a lot of other things (like any kind of medication for example): it just doesn't work for everybody the same way. @Jake Steiner: I think it doesn't hurt YOU or your business if you would admit that, despite the fact that you've spent 10.000 hours of work on it, Endmyopia is not the ONLY way to 20/20 vision. I don't know how this works for other people, but if I see someone working SO hard as you do to prove others wrong and yourself right, I get suspicious about that person and what he or she preaches immediately. If your method really is that good as you say (and it very well may be, I'm just saying that it's not the ONLY working method), you wouldn't need to defend it. It would speak for itself and you could just be happy for the ppl who improved their eyesight using an other method than Endmyopia. It would save you a lot of work AND energy I think :) P.S. I'm sorry if my English isn't correct; I'm Dutch.

Then how did mark warren improve his eyesight? -4 and -5 and after about 12 months he is pretty close to get rid of his glasses completely

when I train peripheral my iris are painful why ?too much insensity or sensitive to mouvements ?

So if peripheral vision does not work, then what method should I use while walking outside in the sun which is advised by many people here?

what about I can’t control or remove it from my central vision?
