Well, I started this journey some time after Christmas, and had
started with diligent use of the plus lenses. Noticing an onset of
double vision, which I believed to be diplopia, I stopped the use of
the plus lenses, although I was told it was a result of astigmatism
that I already had. Anyways I have not worn my minus glasses since
Christmas save in circumstances when I am required to watch a movie in
class. I don't wear my glasses even in the cinema. I have seen no
progress on the Snellen chart, and I didn't expect to, but I haven;t
seen any decline. I think that I have stabilized my vision effectively
by completely cutting out my use of the minus lenses. I realize hat I
am lucky in having my myopia at a low enough level to be able to
completely end my use of the plus lenses. So it seems that minus
lenses are the only thing that was making my vision worse, but I
cannot know for sure until I go to the optometrist to test my vision.
I have been contemplating over starting with the plus lenses again,
because the double vision has begun to disappear. This is the only
thing that confuses me. I am unsure if my eyes have healed the double
vision that was caused by the plus lenses or if the use of the double
lenses uncloaked the astigmatism from the veil of blurriness cause by
myopia. Anyways, I am happy that I am able to go through life, indoors
and outdoors without the use of my minus glasses, except when I have
to read stuff on the blackboard. If you have any advice on how I
should continue, or anymore information on the diplopia, or the
headaches caused by the plus lenses, I would be extremely grateful.

With many thanks,
Christopher
