Line 1:

Eye exercise is the practice of voluntary eye movements. It is encouraged by the practitioners of the Bates Method and other unicorn farmers. They believe that eye exercises can "strengthen" the eyes, and by strengthening the eyes, myopia can be reversed. This is of course completely false and fails to account for the underlying causes of myopia.

This is of course completely false and fails to account for the underlying causes of myopia.

There are two types of muscles of the eyeball, [[extraocular muscle]]s and [[ciliary muscle]]s. Extraocular muscles can be voluntarily controlled but the ciliary muscles are involuntary. As such, eye exercises can only work on the extraocular muscles, which are only responsible for eyeball rotation. However, myopia is a problem of focus and is caused by a combination of ciliary muscle spasm and axial elongation.
