I've done some against my double vision (a bunch of regular exercises at the doctors office with special machines and exercises at home). Seems to have worked, but obviously that's different muscles than myopia.

How much time did you put in? Hours a day / overall duration of the program?

It seems to me that there has never been any real research into fixing eyes naturally - it takes 2-3 years to learn to do a one-arm chin up. It seems like fixing your eyes might take a similar level of effort, yet research was never done on that scale.

Not sure, quite a while ago. rough estimate: Sessions at a "school" every 3 weeks or so for a few months, maybe an hour each, and 10 minutes at home most days? (supposed to do it daily, but I was a kid and certainly didn't actually remember it daily)

Seems like this kind of therapy is quite controversial though, with not much scientific consensus it actually helps.
