The optician sells you glasses you may *want*.
You may want the crazy, super, extra, laser focused sharpness that you got last year, from the last prescription. The one that’s now just so-so, and he’s telling you that you could definitely use a bit more of the sauce. More sauce for you, get that super vision, smack-in-the-face clarity back.
More is more!
Of course you, reading this blog, know better.
But still, the very basic and simple premise stands. Wear what you need. Not what the optician tells you that you need (which doesn’t necessarily equate to what you actually need, rather to what he’d like to *sell* you). What you need, not what you *can* see 20/8 with. Not what you may need to see highway signs with, at night, driving, while in fact sitting in your bright office just looking at a computer screen.
Preaching, choir, whatnot.
It goes in the opposite direction too, for you blog readers. Wear you need. Don’t wear less than what you need. Living in blur isn’t going to help your eyes (au contraire, quite possibly).
Here’s an interesting e-mail from Martina:
Martina starts wearing what she needs, and her centimeter distance goes up, her strain goes down, and her vision improves.
It’s all refreshingly simple and logical, once you actually really think about it.
Housekeeping: Apologies again, about yesterday. Of course the site goes down the one day I don’t check e-mail or have decent Internet access. Still in the rather remote mountain resort for a few days, but (at least today) Web speeds are almost at usable levels.
I say this and then literally as I’m about to click ‘publish’, all network connection disappears for the next hour. o_O
Cheers,
-Jake
