Hi Guys,
Long time lurker and first time poster, sorry if this should be in another section.
I have noticed with higher brightness lasers such has my "1mW" ebay 532, and my 1W 445 home build (thanks DTR) that after pointing them and viewing the dot around the backyard (distance of 10 - 20 metres) that my vision seems slightly improved.
I am very short sighted, and can only focus around half a metre in front of my face without glasses before things go out of focus and I am going to be due for a new prescription in the coming months. After using the lasers however I find that for a short time afterward my long distance vison with glasses is a little crisper.
I'm thinking one of two things:
1: The bright light is stimulating the muscles/focal mechanisms in my eyes causing them to move faster/ further than normal. (Obviously no expert on this)
2: I'm being hyper aware of my eyesight after using lasers and it's me subconsciously trying to make sure there are no flaws or damage.
Does anyone who has any knowledge on this subject have any thoughts on this and the effects of looking at bright spots of light in general? Call it BS, call it what ever you want, I want to hear your opinions.
Note: I am in no way advocating looking at or into a laser beam in order to improve eyesight. Don't do it!
