Reduced Prescriptions (Transition Glasses)


Natural vision improvement is not a "quick fix." As with any form of self-healing, nature determines the time frame, so the program requires patience and persistence. A stepped-down approach to lens prescriptions is necessary, particularly for those who are nearsighted and legally require prescription eyewear for driving or other activities.
