I read that same study ! I had no idea the brain could compensate for such a dramatic change, and then switch back. Pretty neat. Disclaimer noted and understood. I take full accountability for m...

Hi Fiat, I would never consider driving with such reduced Rx glasses. I'd use them only for what I mentioned: wandering around the house, mowing the yard, and reading online or analog material. It...

Thanks for the input Nancy. :) Agreed the goal is to see without glasses. But, I do appreciate the feedback since I'm in the intermediate phase of that goal. Pity that the "S" in "OS" is for "si...
