I have heard the commercial for the “See Clearly” method on the radio for about a year or so. The ad claims it can reduce or eliminate your need for glasses or contacts without surgery.

Does anyone know if this works or what the program is?

I’ve heard those radio ads. Why the hell hasn’t the FTC shut those people down?

Anyway, the “See Clearly” stuff is based on long-debunked quack medicine; please don’t waste any money on it. Having worn glasses for decades, I wish that stuff worked, but it’s bogus.
