→Getting the best results
| Line 21: | Line 21: | ||
Many people want to know what they can do to get the best results from their "official" screening. As you must know by now, vision is highly variable. It is a good idea to not put too much stress on yourself over one snap shot; this is not necessarily a good reflection of your overall vision, you really should just be seeking a baseline. Your own measurements over time will give the most accurate picture of your overall vision, especially if you are making a point to be accurate. | Many people want to know what they can do to get the best results from their "official" screening.

That said, avoiding close up as much as possible the day before and the day of your visit is a good idea. Instead, try getting low stress distance vision time in the place of that close up time while not necessarily doing a lot of focus work and making your eyes tired and/or strained. Drink enough water, get a good night sleep and don't eat a lot of sugar; also good things to help you get better results. If you can manage it try to schedule in the morning while your eyes are still fresh and well rested. | That said, avoiding close up as much as possible the day before and the day of your visit is a good idea.
