Shambles, you're welcome. It's every teacher's joy when a student "gets it" in a new way. A lot of what I write is what I wish I had known earlier myself, like I'm somehow teaching a younger me. An image expanding and contracting, as if your brain is re-calibrating the correct size, is a necessary step when minus glasses make things appear smaller and closer. Some patches on the eye chart appearing darker than others is your central fixation re-emerging, rather than continuing to see a large area all the same, the way glasses make you see. Your natural vision is re-asserting itself. Nice going!
I've noticed this pulsing that you describe when I look at street lights after dark. They look like pulsating dandelion cotton fuzz. I, too, wondered if my brain wasn't trying to re-calibrate the street light to the correct size. Neat.
