* It's better to not change your focal plane too much.  But you're also supposed to take breaks from near work every 20 minutes and look 20+ feet away.  Are you supposed to change glasses when you do this?  Thoughts on how often you should change glasses seem to vary widely.

==My Glasses History==
* "the actual sustained improvement happens after, when that improvement appears consistent.  Leave 3-4 months between diopter reductions, even (and especially if) things seem improved and consistent even after a much shorter time span." second-hand quote from jake
I figured I should track this somewhere and maybe someday I will make enough progress that this level of detail will be interesting to someone besides me. Or maybe just knowing my context is useful.  Also adding other non-glasses stuff that could be relevant.

:Zenni frame 411516 because it's got half a dozen colors so I can keep track of new glasses easier, and it's the cheapest metal frames they sell. These frames are blue.

====End Myopia discovery====
: Found endmyopia.org somewhere.
 
====Eating more fiber====
: Figured out I can get most of my vitamins and minerals from 2 cups cooked greens and a can of beans every day.  My fiber intake just went up dramatically and permanently.

====Checkup====
:Talked optometrist into just checking eye health.  Eye health was fine.
===June 2019===
 
====Quit refined sugar====
 
:Did someone refine the fiber out?  I won't eat it.  Juice?  Unacceptable. Honey?  Refined by bees.  Maple syrup?  Sure, if I'm gnawing on a maple tree.  Cane sugar?  Sure, if I'm eating the cane alone with it.  And so forth.
 
:NOTE: This took me 20 years of effort before it finally stuck.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again.  I get refined sugar on my birthdays.

===Early 1990s===
 
Kept forgetting my glasses at home and not being able to see the blackboard clearly from the first row.  Annoyed teacher told me I needed to start remembering to bring my glasses.  This is when I started wearing glasses full time.
 
===Late 1980s===
 
'''I was warned.'''  When I was given my first pair of glasses, I was told, repeatedly, ''don't wear these glasses when you don't need them.''  I was living in England at the time.  Not sure if it was an English doctor or a US military doctor.
 
==Why I'm here==
Things I'd like to be able to see clearly without glasses again:
 
* the stars
 
* my toes
