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.
