Reminder: Me = severe dry eyes, despite 4x punctal cautery; severe
ciliary spasm (etc., etc.)

To combat the effects of (glare, breeze, dust, etc.) on my dry eyes, I
squint an awful lot when the environment dictates: outdoors, in
heavily ventilated buildings (grocery store, Home Depot, etc.),
despite use of Panoptx sunglasses.  A movie in an air conditioned
theater, for example, is exceptionally tough on me.

Any idea whether /that/ sort of squinting induces accommodation in the
same way that squinting to clear a blurry image (presbyopes/hyperopes
trying to read without their glasses) does??

Here's why I ask: I'm awaiting a referral to Perry Rosenthal, in
Boston, to be fitted with his Scleral Prosthetic Lens.  It's used in
treating intractable dry eye cases (among other things).  I'm
theorizing that--if it helps reduce the time that I'm squinting--and
if all squinting induces accommodation--then the lens should help
ameliorate /both/ the dry eye pain /and/ the accommodative spasm
frequency/severity.

Thoughts?  Data?

TIA,

Neil
