question about a noob and his glasses... - IWantToSee - 03-09-2009
Ok im trying to ease the use of my glasses. they are -10 so you can imagine how hard it is for me in class and doing work. However when I am home doing work I would like to read without my glasses. Is this safe? I would be very close to my book if i took my glasses off. I did it yesterday and recieved some strain. Please help, thanks.

The strain won't kill you. You are probably straining close to that much throughout the day, anyways. You have a large hill to climb; you might as well start with your first steps. Remember: lots of light on the page; find a comfortable, relaxed position (music stand might be really convenient); blink ever so lightly; give yourself a few minutes scanning the page in all directions without trying to read until something about the print seems darker or clearer; last but not least, follow your breath with your awareness. p.s.: ...it's all about relaxation...

Practice on fine and microscopic print and the vision will improve and plain print will be easy to see.
