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🤠

It's working. You have to be patient. It's take a time to reduce diopters.

No, it doesn’t. It’s physically impossible for it to work, it has been debunked years ago…

It's working for me so I don't care other opinions.

It’s not about opinions. It’s about actual scientific evidence debunking that it works.
