Not necessarily. Acuity does not always stay constant for everyone.
As has been said here many times by doctors who know, some people
find that their acuity improves with time, and others get worse.
Your change probably would have happened anyway whether you practiced
Bates or not.

people who can definitely convince me that this method doesn't work.


It is logically impossible to prove a negative. Suppose every
swan that you ever see is white. Does this prove that there is
no such thing as a black swan? No, you can never say that. All
you can say is that every swan you have seen is white.

When an idea is put forward, the proponents of the idea must prove
that it is valid. It is not our responsibility to prove that the idea
is invalid.
