Thread: myopia useful for presbyopia?
Post: myopia useful for presbyopia?

I was envious of some people who had perfect vision. Now I see that they wear reading glasses. I'm not so envious any more. Is myopia useful for countering the effect of presbyopia as we age?

Thread: no axis change for weaker glasses?
Post: Re: no axis change for weaker glasses?

Not sure what you mean by "axis change" but you can't just change the axis of the cylinder in your prescription. You could lower the cylinder power but not the axis angle.
