I had scleroplasty done on my eyes at the age of 13, at 8.5D, to stop progression, and it did help - I only progressed to 9.25D in 30 years since…

Doesn’t seem like done in any other countries other than Russia - https://www.nature.com/articles/eye2009322

Me too, stopped at 6.5. Wikipedia says they do it in Japan too.

Doesn't sound like it fixes myopia, rather that it addresses one of the side effects of high myopia?

When done in children, it stops progression of myopia. I had it done at 13 after loosing 1 point every year, and it stopped at 6.5. God only knows what would it be without it.
