At that point, if you were told of your choice, the plus could be effective for you, even if it meant long-term wearing of the plus. I only advocate that you be informed at that point, since we are almost all at 20/30 or better at age 5. Assuming you are at 20/40 to 20/50 on your own Snellen, and have strong resolve, I have prepared some videos on how to obtain and use a plus lens. Just go to YouTube and type, "OtisSumnerBrown". I hope you enjoy them. Hi Tod,

I have a suggestion for your computer work. I recently (year ago) switched to a virtual position where I work from the computer 100% (plus online coursework in the evenings) and have noticed a dramatic increase in eyestrain and pain. I have horrible myopia, by the way - can't see my hand clearly 12" away without glasses. Yesterday, I added a wireless keyboard and mouse to my system and reduced the resolution (larger pring) on my large monitor so that I can now sit 8-10 feet away from it. It takes some work to focus on smaller text, but it gets easier with effort, and it feels much more natural than looking at a screen 14" away. I remember thinking almost immediately "This might actually improve my vision!" Thank you, Tod, for posting your thoughts and experiences on this subject. I have a suggestion for your computer work.
