> In my opinion, it’s too early, too ambiguous, and the jury is out on whether myopia can actually be reversed.

We do need studies on if/why/how myopia reduction works for some people.

However, we already know a guaranteed way to increase myopia:

  1. Wear corrective lens for 20/20 vision for distant objects, e.g. driver license vision test.
  2. Keep wearing distance lens for closeup, e.g. phone at 12".
  3. Keep wearing distance lens for near work, e.g. book or laptop at 24".
  4. Keep wearing distance lens for intermediate, e.g. monitor at 36".
  5. Eye adapts (more myopia) to get 20/20 vision at daily focusing distance, e.g. work laptop.
  6. Optometrist measures that distance correction with lens is now worse than 20/20.
  7. Optometrist increases distance correction to get back to 20/20, for legal (e.g. driving) compliance.
  8. Go to Step 1.

This loop can be broken by measuring the distance in #5 and buying dedicated lens/contacts for that distance. This reduces the burden on both eye and brain.
