Re: Longsight correction

Hi, I have been looking up the net and there have been mentions of
people with longsight wearing minus lenses to reverse their longsight?
Has anyone heard of this? Could it be possible? I am fairly
longsighted so would like to try and improve it.

The research shows that people wearing minus for ordinary nearsightedness
*don't* get worse just because they wear minus, so it's unrealistic to
expect those lenses to cause myopic shift in anyone else.

According to the reasearch, the only stimulus that might promote
nearsightedness is lots of close work.

OTOH, it's pretty rare for myopia to *start* after college.
