Hungry, I was 28 when I started ortho-K and eye exercises. They worked for me. I still have the hard lenses that have to be taken out at night. There are some that you can wear at night to correct your vision but I don't know anything about them.
Onan, I went to flight school, not medical school, but the eye exercises do work.
What your posts have in common is that unless the eye doctor specializes in ortho-K and eye exercises he will not recommend these techniques. When I saw eye doctors who were surgeons they pushed surgery and pooh-poohed ortho-K. Unless your doctor went for the extra training he doesn't know enough about how well this works.
The hard part is finding a good doctor. I went through a couple who treated people with ortho-K but hadn't undergone the extra training to help them know how to treat the difficult cases like me. The doctor I finally found who helped me knew of these guys and highly disaproved of them.
