Its a fact most, if not all people experience a hyperopic shift as they
get older. She no longer needs the minus but does need the plus lens,
especially for reading. I will be alot less myopic when I too reach my
40s or 50s, ive been told to expect to end up around a -2 which is good
enough to stay out of readers except for fine print and stay out of
minus most of the time except for driving, movies, going out somewhere.

I've made it a policy not to respond to any myopia prevention threads, but I can't resist this one. I had a patient in today, age 55 who I've had in -1.50 o.u. for years, and she's still wearing them, in spite of some recent symptoms of eyestrain. Today I refracted her at +1.00 o.d. and plano o.s. So my minus lenses cured her myopia? I think so. the minus lens rocks. w.stacy, o.d.
