Your assumptions are very right and on point, the eye always tries to adapt even when things ain’t going well, thus why in hyperope the eye will keep trying until the person can’t bare the asthenopia anymore and eventually see the optometrist or ophthalmologist.
Hopefully in the years ahead as we all continue to learn more everyday things would get better for us and for our patients as ophthalmologist assessment come to be done earlier in life.
Thanks for your time Doc
