I'm not sure what your point is. I'm merely pointing out that there IS a gradual approach that isn't all-or-nothing. I realize I can't help everybody, and I realize that this is hard without a Bates t...

I have the same experience. My overall vision improves at a greater or lesser speed, but my blur zone--and thus my required prescription for seeing 20/20--doesn't seem to change nearly as much. I th...

Thread: Shifting, am I doing it right?
Post: Re: Shifting, am I doing it right?
