Eyesight
I just went out and bought some +1.00 reading glasses. I’m wearing them on top of my -1.5 or so normal glasses (to correct myopia) and find that I can focus on my computer screen with less effort. I’m wondering if making a habit of this could slow down or reverse my vision deterioration. I do know that pretty much the only inevitable deterioration experienced by everyone is a decrease in range you can focus through, which leads to needing bi- or tri-focals later in life. I remember when I was very young being able to bring things to within a half or even quarter inch of my eye to inspect them closely. I can’t do that anymore—the closest I can focus is about an inch and a half. But that doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t be able to focus on distant objects without correction.
With both glasses on, I can see clearly up to about two feet, and with neither on, I can see up to about a foot. If I can increase the latter distance to a foot and a half, I could comfortable work at a computer without any correction, which would be ideal. We’ll see how it goes.
