A myopia epidemic is sweeping the globe

Why is it that no sort of eye exercise can encourage a reversal of myopia?

Most of the research I see is on preventing or slowing down the progression of myopia.

There are exercises that have worked for some people to reverse myopia.

I like the first blog - it's reasonably sceptical about the method and just describes their experience. The author seems scientifically minded, and doesn't promise more than they can.

The second link directs to a website about parascience (which it is, but without self awareness of the first link) that tries to convince me that glasses are just a devilish trick opticians made up:

Please. Strong turn off for me.
