But I'm in the process of fixing it now. It will cost me a few years of glasses (at Zenni, that turns out to be ~$100 or less for 10 pairs of glasses!) but will save me $400 a year of contact and doctor costs for the rest of my life! Yes!
And I will have my vision back! Holy cow! Freedom.
Someone on the forum a while back (I think it was TopHatFox in December 2017) got me looking into this and I just wanted to share this with people who might have missed it. The resource I'm going with is Jake Steiner at End Myopia. You can find his videos on YouTube. He has a seven-day email thing that you sign up for and it walks you through how to measure your myopia and what the numbers mean. Perfect for those of us who want to know 'the how' and not just the instructions on 'the do'. (Start here: https://endmyopia.org/end-myopia-home/, Email guide sign up at the bottom: https://endmyopia.org/consultations/)
Then, you can join a Le Meow community (you have to pass the quiz first) to discuss your progress and see other people's progress.
Jake is a former finance guy now semi-retired to family life doing outdoor stuff in SEA and helping people get away from the ridiculous optometry $ treadmill. His videos are a bit ranty and entertaining. Random video I selected so you know who I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQXqHXtpDp4
And yes, it's all FREE. FREEEEEEE The magic word for ERErs.

(I mean you can pay for additional help if you really want some hand-holding, but Jake himself makes it clear you can do it all for zero dollars if you just put some time into learning from the site.)
I've been actively doing this for two months and my vision has gone from L -2.0/R -3.0 to L -1.5/R -2.3. At the expected rate of progress, I'll have 20/20 vision by Jan 2021.
