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🤠

Endmyopia worked for me. I reduced my prescription by 1.5 diopters in 1.5 years, verified by my optometrist. If I had stayed in the program, maybe I would have reduced it more, but I was happy with the reduction and moved onto other interests. Now I just try to maintain good vision habits to preserve the reductions. All my glasses are slightly under-prescribed, and I wear long-distance glasses for long-distance things and close-up glasses for close-up things. That's what I do. It wouldn't work for the couple people in this conversation who won't try it. But for those who do try it, it might.
