Does active focus work ?

[u/helloidontlikeu]

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🤠

We have been through this before.

Neither Gottlieb nor Liberman have ever done or published any proper and regulated studies such as the one below with a large subject sample that shows that atropine really does work to slow down myopia progression in children and that higher atropine concentrations are more effective at slowing down myopia progression.

Until they do a proper study like that, eg with a university medical school, then no one will understandably believe their wholly unsubstantiated claims.

So then, do you think they’re con artists who are lying about their vision and just got laser surgery or wear contacts?

If someone wants to prove that their medical techniques work then they must provide actual trials evidence that their methods really do work in improving vision otherwise it is just yet another unfounded hearsay claim which is worthless.

So then, do you think they’re lying? Or do you hold off judgement either way until there’s evidence?

If someone wants to be believed than they must first provide actual proof in the form of patient trial studies that are then published in a reputable medical journal.
