Doesn't work for me. I see Einstein both with glasses and without (Monroe only becomes apparent if I'm 3 feet away sans glasses). However, text becomes blurry with glasses off.


Same for me. I guess that just means I don't need glasses that badly. They still help prevent eyestrain though.


If you dont need glasses then I would not use them because they will only make you dependent on them.

There is a study which shows that spending more time outdoors and looking at far away objects will help alleviate eye problems.

If you search around in google I think yoiu'll find a copy of the paper. Really worth a read.


Well no, I can see Einstein but letters are still blurry without glasses. Reading that way is a great way to get eyestrain and headaches.

Also your study is about children - nothing says that will reverse myopia in adults.
