Here’s Dodgy-Town. A whole category on questionable myopia therapies, ideas, snake oil sales, and various shortsighted treatments that warrant a closer look (and probably some derision by a certain indisputably wise and considerate eye guru).
Whether it’s Atropine drops (poison!) being advocated by “doctors” for your kid’s eyes, or Ortho-K to temporarily flatten (and possibly permanently damage) your cornea, or using subconscious sales tricks to get you to buy glasses, this category has it all. You’ll see it all, you’ll marvel and wonder how you may have missed out on all the ways you could be getting screwed. Enjoy!

I write here because of all the things out there, I really believe that Alex' course is by far the most [...]
Dr. Kaisu Viikari, M.D. PhD: Myopia Prevention
There is a lot of clinical science pointing to the root causes of myopia. While mainstream media keeps entirely missing the boat on primary causes, the truth isn't hard to find.
