Hi Anna, I don't like saying so, but there isn't an easy answer for this. Glasses for myopia is taken for granted so much that our society no longer considered myopia a disability unless a person is ...

Thread: the shift and swing
Post: the shift and swing

Joe asked about the shift and swing in the "introduce yourself" thread, so I'm making a new topic to deal with it. When the eye is relaxed, it makes lots of shifts in rapid succession from one point...
