(Quora) How Long Does It Take To Get Used To New Glasses?
It's Quora day.Yesterday I posted a video on YouTube, musing whether @endmyopia is "done". Done, as in project complete, Jake can go dedicate those three hours a day to other stuff.

Is @endmyopia done? I was hoping to say yes but apparently it's actually ...As long as questions like what I'm [...]

Despina, our resident contributing optometrist, went to her optometrist (all Escher-like) and confirmed that her vision has improved by 0.75 diopters. Now of course this is not an absolute surprise to you, frequent blog reader. But it's great nonetheless, having a properly licensed and mainstream connected professional try BackTo20/20 (and by extension, the endmyopia/Steiner method), [...]
