My driver's license renewal is required within a year, and when I get to -1 or -0.75, I'll be sure to re-take the visual acuity test and have the lenses condition removed. | My driver's license renewal is required within a year, and when I get to -1 or -0.75, I'll be sure to re-take the visual acuity test and have the lenses condition removed. | ||
As I'm a perfectionist, I will know that I'm | As I'm a perfectionist, I will know that I'm successful when my refraction reaches 0. I expect, with uncorrected vision, 20/8 (or at least 20/10) in a bright Snellen and 20/15 on a dim Snellen. To reach that, I will possibly use a +0.25 to focus on a Snellen chart from 6m, inducing up to 0.083 D of hyperopia, or possibly outside to induce up to 0.25 D of hyperopia, which the emmetropization process will get rid of after I stop using them (just to make sure I actually clear 0 D). I wonder if the +0.25 is even necessary, if I can AF to 0 D with emmetropization. As a young child, I remember being to recognize people's faces from about 70 to 150m away, which will eventually be possible for me again. | ||
Axial length is adjusted by accommodation and defocus. It seems reducing too quickly keeps you in blur/polyopia that you cannot overcome, which gives you shorter axial length, so you'll pay the price of extra accommodation strain while you revisit those old diopters. The solution is to "revisit old diopters" to have polyopia that you can overcome, and then reduce after you overcome them, which was very fast for me, at 0.25 D in 5 days. | Axial length is adjusted by accommodation and defocus.
