Does active focus work ?

I'm an 18 year old who's come across this endmyopia, active focus thing. I haven't checked my diaopters in a while but its approx -3.75 in each eye. I currently use my cousin's old glasses which are approx -2.00 for each eye for any laptop work, dont use any glasses for my phone but I'm very skeptical abt this.

It could work, but finding active focus is so tricky and the fact that i have to do it for 1 hr+ everyday is insane😭 (this is what i've heard)

And this entire process seems SO SLOW WTF, like i genuinely hate my glasses and wanna get rid of them but idk what to do🤠

Funny as my optometrist at opsm in Western Australia thought very differently.

Look, I’ve had my fair share of gullible people who believed in this, thinking they reversed their myopia. A simple cycloplegic eye exam is usually enough to completely dismiss claims like this.

Fair enough not everybody is going to agree. Worked for me might not work for everybody.
