Thread: The Swing?
Post: Re: The Swing?

David, I respectfully disagree with you on the swing mostly being about depth perception. Perceiving the universal swing improves my vision even when looking at largely two-dimensional things such as ...

Everyone is different, but I'm concerned that y'all are getting too weak glasses. Going more than about 0.5 to 1 diopters weaker your "20/20" lenses is likely* to result in inadequate vision under a ...

I respectfully disagree with everyone telling you to postpone school. If vision improvement meant that I had to sacrifice an education, job, etc., I wouldn't find it worthwhile. Get a pair of lenses...

Thread: The color blue
Post: Re: The color blue

Human eyes are naturally less sensitive to blue and purple light than to certain other wavelengths. I think they're most sensitive to yellow-green light. Could have something to do with it.
