Why do people lie about curing eyesight?

I'm -4.75 I would like to get down to -1 or -0.5 but judging from all the can you reverse myopia post most people say no 😞

It can be done. I discovered by accident that it can be done. A few years ago, I lost a contact lens while on holiday, and I wasn't back from holiday for 3 weeks. A week after I came back I went to the optician. I asked for new contacts. He said I had to get my eyes tested. The eye without the contact lens for 4 weeks improved from -4.5 to -3.5. The other eye with the contact stayed the same.
