When reading RLM content for the first time, if you seriously didn't doubt this stuff for the first time that would be pretty impressive. Mostly everybody has the same initial experience when they find the site for the first time. "It's all a scam." "I mean, it probably is, right?"

Reasons to reconsider extreme doubt
Here's a few reasons you should, maybe reconsider whether any of this stuff is real instead of dismissing it without thinking:
- There are plenty of success stories
- This entire wiki was built from the ground up by an army of volunteers, for free. There is significant interest
- There are plenty of clinical studies (list) that indicate the axial length of the eyeball is not fixed and can change over time. We didn't write these studies, we're just applying their lessons.
We encourage you to be open-minded and consider all of the options available to you, instead of just ours. We're all about engaging those critical thinking skills. If you can understand vision biology yourself, then you are in a better position to decide what is and isn't likely to fix your eyesight.
