Hi Ken,
I don't know that I agree with you. When I look through my glasses at the
monitor all the letters look smaller - or further away. When I look
without my glasses everything is of course blurry, but larger - hence
closer. I can't use a ruler to compare because when I look at it with my
glasses on it gets smaller too! When as friends we used to try on glasses
of nearsighted kids, the first remark, if not about blurriness was about
how small everything looked or that everything looked further away.
Our eyes have the ability to refocus within miliseconds. That is why we
can follow a baseball traveling at, in excess of 100 mph (sorry folks, I
don't know the conversion off hand) when catching a pitched ball without it
ever going out of focus. It would be very hard to do an objective test
between our left and right eye as our brain has the ability to convert and
adapt to quickly to make things as they are supposed to be. (For example,
when was the last time a white object under florescent lights really looked
green to your eyes). Of course, that means I can be imagining all this and
would then be full of hot air. :-)
Susan, where are you for the last word on this?

If MP's tests were true then my eyes would need to refocus
(farther/closer) everytime I looked over the tops of my eyeglass
rims. As I'm typing this, The computer monitor is almost two
feet infront of my schnoz (nose). With my glasses slipped down a
bit I can easily compare with and without glasses. My eyes are
not refocusing when I go back and forth. With glasses I can see
the screen better, but my viewing distance still remains the
same.
