Isn't there a widely available patch for low-$X00, and a permanent fix in adulthood for not much more than that? People spend 100x that much money on e.g. private schools, which are only a partial attempt to get closer to academic superstardom, not a 100% effective way to get perfect, like the treatments for myopia.
