Do myopia, hypermetropia or astigmatism hamper the practice of Phosphenism ?

FAQ: general points
No, because the quantity of light received is still the same and it is that energy that matters for phosphenic mixing. Through the intense exercise of the iris caused by the alternation of strong light and darkness, phosphenic practice improves certain conditions of the eye such as synechia (the sticking of the iris to the crystalline lens). Nearsighted persons will notice a significant improvement in sharpness.

Thus, not only will the phosphene be more exploitable, but you will also avoid any eyestrain, even during long periods of practice, like students in pre-exams periods who do a great number of phosphenes over periods of 8 to 9 hours.
