how long will it take to be cured using plus lenses? - skylin19 - 08-12-2006 hello, this is a question to otis i wanted to know if you have any idea how long it would take to fix my myopic eyes using plus lenses. my eyes are -1.75 and -1. is it possible to see some significant improvement in 2-3 weeks??? if it is possible what power of plus lenses will i need??? thanks skylin19 Re: how long will it take to be cured using plus lenses? - otis - 08-12-2006 Dear SkyLine, No one can give you an exact answer to your question. But from your "-1 diopters" prescription (about 20/70) I would suggest that there is a possibility of "clearing" your 20/70 to pass the 20/40. But I can not state "how long". I would suggest the following: 1. Get a Snellen -- from my site or "i-see". Check, Eye-Chart 1, on my site -- and print some. 2. Check your Snellen in day-light. With BOTH EYES your VA should be about 20/60. If it is -- then there is HOPE. 3. Once you establish that you read 20/60 you can then begin the PREVENTIVE PROCESS. You get a WEAK plus in the store for about $8. You use it for all reading -- and computer work. You use that minus ONLY WHEN DRIVING A CAR. 4. You keep this up until your Snellen gets to about 20/40 -- then you move to a stronger plus --- and continue vision-clearing. 5. But this depends on YOU reading your SNELLEN. Do not rely on the "prescription". Work to pass the 20/40 line. 6. How long??? Why not get started now? To further respond: hello, this is a question to otis i wanted to know if you have any idea how long it would take to fix my myopic eyes using plus lenses. my eyes are -1.75 and -1. is it possible to see some significant improvement in 2-3 weeks??? Otis> Some people see "clearing" on their Snellen -- others do not. I would not attempt to set a "time-limit". The goal is to get to 20/40 -- and put in all effort required to get there -- in my opinion. if it is possible what power of plus lenses will i need??? Otis> For starters (until your Snellen clears some) about +1.25 diotpers. Best, Otis thanks skylin19 Re: how long will it take to be cured using plus lenses? - skylin19 - 08-12-2006 thank u very much for your reply otis but do you have any whatsoever guess how long because i need to fix them before school starts or else i'll need to use minus all the time thanks skylin19 |
