Weird Eyes Thing. Does This Happen To Anyone Else???

Question

I have semi-terrible vision. + +5.25 in one eye and +5.75 in the other. My eyes cross to focus and i have astigmatisms in both eyes. Lately, with my glasses/contacts off/out, I have been on the computer crossing my eyes for 5mins to check email then go to bed. I have been noticing lately that after a while my eyes actually focus correctly!! It only lasts about 15 seconds. Is this a miracle or does this happen to anone else? Can someone explain it???

Answer 1

Your muscles on the outside of your eye and the crystaline lense in your eye are able to accomodate for your refractive error for about that amount of time and then they just get to tired to do it. It is like lifting a huge weight that you can not possibly lift for more than 15 seconds. You try with all your might but then have to drop it. Same thing. Your eyeglass prescription helps you see and not strain to try to manufacture that kind of plus power in your inner lense, and it keeps your eyes aligned correctly for better use of your eye muscles for better vision.
