Has anyone longsighted tried this? I know it would be hard to see through the minus lens at the start but I'd say the eyes would adjust and the + prescription would reduce? Thanks.

Dude; Lori is right! Most of the time when a person needs glasses, it's because the eye ball is too long, too short, or the cornea has the wrong shape. Wearing glasses will not force the eye to physicaly change to the correct shape! If you want to stick with the medical analogy; wearing minus lenses for farsightedness, would be like trying to cure lung cancer by smoking even more ciggarettes!

No. this is like saying that you are going to treat lung cancer by treating the pancreas insead and then the body will adjust and cure the lung. What you are saying is not true. It does not work that way. Here is how the eye works with this: Farsightedness, or the condition you are trying to describe (I think) is basically a short eyeball and the focus point needs shortening up with a plus lense to fit on the retina so that you can see. A minus lense does the opposite, but it does get the attention of your Crystaline lense that does focusing of PLUS power in your eye. It might help you see normally in a minus lense for a while, but it will not , in turn correct you for the farsightedness, as it has nothing to do with it. I hope I helped with this some. You can not fix having too much MINUS in your eye to begin with by adding minus. It just does not work that way.
