Actually, yes. Most doctors would call it fringe science, but I've been able to improve my eyesight with what's called Plus Lens Therapy. It has you wear glasses that are the opposite of those you've been subscribed, or that are significantly less strong, and using them while actively trying to focus at the edge of blur, e.g. by reading a book and keeping it far enough away so it's ever so slightly blurry but not too blurry either, forcing your eyes to clear the image. It's not clear why it works – do your eyes actually start changing their shape, or is it simply the eye muscles that get stronger? – but if you're willing to put in the months and months of effort it requires, for many it does help.

Their visual system gets more practice but the eyes themselves don't change (just speculation.) But there are now better methods of doing that which are (supposedly) very effective.
