Gold In The Forum, Penang Trip Q&A #13
A lot of gold has been piling up in the forum. Where to start? First perhaps, the Q&A. This one from the airport during the ride out to Malaysia. A bit rambling, but I want to get you more than just text on a page. Thumbs it if you likes it: Next, the forum. I won't post all of the questions here, head over for a visit if you haven't been in a while. Lots of good topics that merit a quick read. Shannon: #dryeyes [...]
+2.00: Child Myopia Prevention Glasses
You know the rules. No prescription advice here. ;-) Here's a question I forgot to answer yesterday, from the forum: I’ve also bought her a pair of +1.25 lenses for computer work, and also for reading when she starts to do it a little more.

The Self Handicap: Never Worn Glasses, But Maybe Should Have
It's fully off-topic Sunday. Maybe that'll mean two posts today. I don't want to misplace this particular topic though, so let's catch it while I'm still thinking of it. On-topic and all. Low myopia, what to do if you never worse glasses, and also a bit of active focus talk: Hi Jake, As I’ve written in a former post, I’ve never worn glasses. I’m aprox. -2.5D in both eyes. Anyways, here are some of my concerns/speculations: 1) As there hasn’t [...]
