Hi Annette,
Like you I'm short sighted and only wear my glasses when I have (watching tv and driving & the proverbial on/off scenario for red dot finder on the scope or scan sky naked eye). And I also think that's it's better to not wear them and exercise the eyes rather than become lazy & worse using them. How true that is, I don't know.
Good question for the Optometrist next visit!
But to answer your question, I haven't noticed any improvement as such. Hmmm they haven't gotten worse either.
In the past I've read that swapping the eye at the eyepiece is beneficial. I (& I think most people?) tend to use the one eye. Something to do with the other eye getting lazy at picking up detail compared with the observing eye? I'd like to know more on this if anyone has any input.
And as for cold weather observing- around 5 deg. and my eyes just will not focus (even with glasses)- everything is fuzzy. It's like my eyeballs are frozen along with everything else.
Strange. I don't know why, but it's made it self painfully apparent every time I've tried to do so. Not that I "do" that temp. often- I hate the cold.
