Of course, I would like to gets my refractive STATE to change, from -0.5 Diopters, or 20/50, to +0.5 Diopters.
Or practically from 20/50, to 20/20.
This change takes about one year to accomplish - if you are prepared to commit to personally wearing of a +2 Diopter lens, for all close work.
Close work must be done at 20 inches, to be truly effective.
This is Engineering-Science, and is effective it the person takes over control, and makes his own refractive measurements.
I certainly have done it.
You should chose to help your own children to do this.
