Doesn't this article suggest there's some truth to strengthening the eye to improve Myopia, though?
While the "new glasses" could of course be snake oil - assuming they're not for discussion would suggest that the muscles can be strengthened/corrected and all we're discussing is an implementation detail.
That's assuming these glasses actually work in this fashion, though. .. and that they work, of course.
- antisthenes 6y agoThe article can suggest whatever it wants. If it actually worked long-term, it would be a published paper on PubMed and ophthalmologists would be readily prescribing it to their patients. I'm not ruling out a temporary improvement in myopia from exercises. Sort of like squinting or putting eye drops in your eyes can temporarily make you less nearsighted. But if there are positive, long-term effects from simple, harmless exercise (spoiler alert - you can't change the shape of your eye permanently with exercise like you can with a muscle), it would be part of eye doctor's treatment plans everywhere. But it isn't, so it doesn't pass the smell test.
- stevebmark 6y agoNo, myopia is caused by eye length, not muscle structure. Eye length is determined by how your eye grows. The Bates method is quackery.
