Don't have much time, so quick note to myself: Blinking is the key. I think that I've been much less "tired" lately because of my practice in blinking and shifting. It turns out that I wasn't ever re...

Thanks. That sounds more than reasonable. :) It's a pity that I don't know anyone with 20/20 vision, but your description seemed pretty complete to me.

Well, of course strain can be caused by inaction. That's why my myopia is so severe today. For years, I was told that glasses would "fix" the problem, but it just got worse and worse and worse...
