Natural vision improvement is stable once the final result is achieved,
but can regress if you use your eyes incorrectly. NVI is based on
pseudomyopia and by getting atropine, ill speed up the process and also
see where ill end up at. OrthoK will cost alot, but ill discuss this
with my optometrist to see what my options are and if orthoK is worth
giving a shot.
Optical Express I won't get to see the surgeon until immediately

I guess just keep quiet and let them do their job. Ask questions about
your prescription in each eye, UCVA, BCVA when they are done. Ask them
for a copy of the prescription they give you for your records and also
because I am curious(especially the correlation of diopters and
20/something)

your record should look like this which you get to take home.
