Bifocal, may I ask what conversion formula you're using to go from visual acuity to diopters? It is my understanding that while there is a positive correlation between the two, there isn't a formula t...

Daniel, I agree with you on the safety issue. Obviously, it's a bit subjective and it depends largely on just how bad one's myopia is. That said, I think it's safe to say that most of the people who ...
