My optometrist was quite skeptical of that anyone can cure their myopia. Yet I’m doing exactly that with measured improvement.

Ophthalmology is not so much /theory/ as over 100 years of study, discourse, research, and practical application.

What you're proposing is /theory/ with few actual studies, research, or practical applications beyond some few people 'trying' something new.

Again, you may be able to lessen the football shaping with various methods. But at the end of the day, the body wants it to be a football, and you want it to be a soccer ball. Guess which of those competitors wins?

I understand what you're saying. I was just stating my practical experience. I'm not arguing anything here. My eyes are healing with visible and measured improvement, and I cannot care less about which theory matches reality, or what any theory out there says about what should and shouldn't happen.
