ABSTRACT

“Letting go” is the act of disengaging yourself from a specific object of regard in the distance and “moving on” to consider other objects in your visual field. Even after applying ortho C, it is a good idea to adopt the habit of “letting go” of everyday objects in the distance instead of constantly trying to make them out—especially if there is still some residual myopia. The myopee has to learn that not every blur object needs to be brought into focus. It takes too much effort to apply 100% of the lens’ flexibility to bring a distant object into focus and then hold that focus. If it becomes a habit, it can offset some of the gains from ortho C. It can lead to asthenopia.
