High IQ people ask their opticians to have close up glasses tailored to the distance they need.
It's also important to be aware of the mechanism leading to progressive myopia:
- you look close for extented amount of time
- the ciliary body spasms/tightens preventing full release (pseudomyopia)
- focusing away requires more time than between each blink
- you visit the optos and get prescribed glasses
- the ciliary body has to work harder to accomodate the correction
- the lens is so contracted that it slowly causes axial elongation
- the ciliary body returns at rest position but the eye is now longer
- the ciliary body is no longer used to its full range
- the posterior ciliary muscles that pull the lens flat slowly lose tone
It's easy to recover from an initial accomodation spasm without permanent loss, as long as you act quickly.
There's still a period where the ciliary spasm can be cleared with a little work, but more time passes the worse it will be.
This is the reason why trying to focus blur images quickly make you feel burning sensations in your eyes.
I was in the worst case, spent two decades in front of computers, it took me several months to recover a partial ability to focus farther, and it still burns.
I'm using the reduced glasses therapy in hope to reach the point where my ciliary body is back to its full range and flexibility.
