Sounds similar to:

https://www.orthoklenses.com

https://www.specsavers.co.uk/contact-lenses/afterc...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthokeratology

Wife (an optician) has used these type of contact lenses in the past on herself...works well.

They seemed reluctant to state what their "aligners" are but then it's in the small print..

"See Smart was launched as a standalone movement in June 2022 and uses Lathe 2 Accelerated Orthokeratology to achieve amazing results.

There are hundreds of thousands of people enjoying the freedom of great vision across the globe with Orthokeratology."

Orthok is a thing and works well. Much bigger in the US than here. It's not a fix as such but a temporary corneal resculpture that persists as long as you wear GP lenses over night.
It's a bit odd they dress it up like it is snake oil when in fact, for a change, there is sound science.
