Eye Doctor Lab Scam?

So around October or so, I had my eye checked at this place. The head of that place is also my eye doctor. Apparently, I am near-sighted and that it is strange when I can't read text that is 1cm away from my face. They also offered a solution: A whopping $8000 therapy-or-smth-like-that course, that will supposedly help me from being unable to see text clearly 1cm away.
