Low Myopia: Improving Your (Almost Good) Eyesight
Long e-mail this morning, from a BackTo20/20 student. The question, low myopia. I'm not reproducing the e-mail here because it's rather quite long, and also since the student opted not to post it in the forum. Respecting the privacy. Here's the long and short of it, though.

Just because they overprescribe doesn't mean that you should go t0o far into the opposite direction with glasses.

The All Important 1,000 LUX Rule
Luxie, luxie.Just the other day I finally got around to updating the Web program to some lux-goodness. It's something Alex wasn't that big on, but I happen to think is not just interesting but also pretty key.You might find it interesting to know, the amount of available light notably affects your eyesight.(Which also, "night blindness" isn't really a thing, at least not in most cases. It's just a matter of those optometrist prescriptions haven't been refreshed in a while, eyes [...]
