I think you could try that but the hypermetropic blur is associated with severe headaches and nerve affliction unlike the myopic blur which is usually free from pain. Better for you to practice method...

Post: Re: Method of the Month - Shifting - Jan 2006

You have given the answer - when eyes appear to get stuck due to very small shifts, make a few wide shifts before returning to small shifts. Blinking is another option. A third way to break free is to...
