I'm not familiar with the age argument, other than the commonly-held belief that everyone will be wearing reading glasses by the age of 40. But, it seems to me that if the extraocular muscles are working well, the extraocular muscles are working well. My drills are really for general eye health -- the computer thing is a good hook to people to think about their eyes and the SAID principle. And, I do think that the incidence of the severe RISE in myopia is related to the cultural shift.I do do the drills even with my 70+ year old clients. Oddly, I find them the easiest to get them to comply. They seem to intuitively get the SAID principle, and once I explain saccades, near/far, etc in the context of driving a car, they are all over it. :-)Thanks for asking the great question, mc.-Jen mc, that's a great question.

This was a surprise to me. So, would you say age is a consideration in this work? And are the drills you recommend in that "focused work to adjust distance vision" category or just generally good eye health?thanks MT Jenmc Jen this is cool.Something to consider: when discussing this with an ophthalmologist, she suggested that age was a consideration: by the time one is in late thirties, if you're not wearing glasses to read a screen, and you spend a lot of your life reading/computing, doing focused work deliberately to improve distance vision may have consequences for near vision.
