BackTo20/20 · 14-day trial for $1
Get your eyes back. Measure first — 90 seconds, $0.
Your phone's camera, any wallet-size card, no app. We baseline where your eyes are today, then show you what BackTo20/20 does to that number.
Honest qualifier
This works if you can do 20 minutes, twice a week.
Less than that and the measurement doesn't move. Pick the option that fits, no judgment either way.

The trade
Glasses show you what you used to be able to see.
Every time you look through them, your actual vision gets a tiny bit worse.
A deal with the devil retail optometrist.
Documented in animal models, pediatric trials, adult population data. Not a fringe claim — a published mechanism your optometrist isn't paid to mention.
Why you're doing this
Get your real eyes back.
Not a lower diopter number. Not a smaller frame. The actual thing — clear vision when you wake up, when you walk into a room, when you look across the table.
- Wake up to a clear room. No reach for glasses.
- Read a menu without leaning in.
- See a face across the kitchen.
- Drive without contacts. Without the over-prescription fog.
- Stop arranging your life around the focal plane you can trust.
- Travel with a wallet — not a lens kit.
The diopter number is the proof. This is the thing.

The protocol
Four steps. Nothing exotic.
The cm-method has been the EndMyopia spine for a decade. It works because the lens is the input — change the input, the output follows.
- 1
Measure
Tape a meter to the wall, walk back until print blurs. The distance in centimeters is your number.
- 2
Step down
A slightly weaker lens for screen / close work — your eyes start working at the focal plane again instead of being held there.
- 3
Re-measure
Weekly. The number moves. You see it move.
- 4
Repeat
Each time the close-work lens stops blurring at the protocol distance, you step it down again. The slope reverses.

What $1 buys for 14 days
See it before you try it.
No surprises behind the paywall. This is the same content paying members access — week one, in plain language.
- Day 1
Your first cm measurement
A 5-minute guided protocol. Tape, a meter on the wall, your eyes — alone, no card needed. You leave with a starting number you trust.
- Week 1
Habit installs
Three behavior changes that remove most lens-driven strain. Each takes under a minute. No exercises, no eye drops, no pseudoscience.
- Week 2
First reduction window
If your numbers move in the first two weeks — and they often do — you'll see exactly how much, and when to step down differentials. If they don't move, you'll know that too, and what to adjust.

Before you $1 trial.
You get visibly clearer vision .. if you have 20 minutes, twice a week. Most people see visible improvement in 90 days. Some in 30. Some take longer.
If you can't do that right now — life's busy, not the right mood, the timing's wrong — skip the trial. You'll cancel in 14 days, you'll feel like you failed, not productive. Bookmark this page. Come back when the calendar opens up.
But if you want to start fixing the blur, start seeing noticeably clearer ... great time to be here! Click start, let the system build you a step-by-step fix for your eyes.

Quick answers before you decide
What you're already paying
Status quo isn't free either.
Five years of lens replacements, exam fees, and stronger prescriptions versus one pass through BackTo20/20. Plain math.
5 years of lenses + exams
$2,000–$3,000
$400–$600/yr · stronger prescription each cycle · no end state
BackTo20/20 · once
$1,390
$139 × 12 months · lifetime access · 60-day refund · the lens spend stops once you don't need them
The trial is $1. The decision is whether you keep paying the lens subscription forever, or pay one finite number and stop.
The landscape
Compared to the other four options.
Same math, side by side. Reversibility is the column most people don't check until it's too late.
| Option | Cost | Time | Risk | Reversible |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glasses (status quo) | $400–600/yr forever | 0 | Number gets worse each cycle | No |
| Contacts | $300–500/yr forever | 0 + insertion time daily | Dry eye, infection, abrasion | No |
| LASIK | $4k–6k once | Surgery + recovery | Permanent halos, dry eye, regression — not reversible if it goes wrong | No |
| BackTo20/20 | $1,390 once · lifetime access | 20 min × 2/wk · 1–3 years to target | Minimal — protocol-based, no surgery, no drug | Yes |

Common questions
Things people ask before they trial.
Most members see measurable centimeter improvement within 30–90 days. The long-term protocol average across the 135-case archive is roughly one diopter per year. Faster for low-myopia starters, slower for high.

From Jake
If you’ve read this far, you’re past the marketing layer. The work is the work — 20 minutes twice a week, a measurement you trust, a lens you can step down. I’ll be in the member forum and the monthly call if you want a human in the loop.

The number doesn’t change by closing this page.
It only changes by walking the protocol — or by waiting another year and watching it walk the other way.
