Well... FWIW I have rather good night vision (nowhere near-as-good day vision), but I can't read at <5 on an Oasis 1 either and 5 is a strain, even with the screen right up against my face.

In any case: having good night vision really means you have good rods and/or are good at using the rods you've got. Since rods are mostly outside the fovea and are actually at *lower* density inside the fovea this isn't going to help with reading at all unless you have a most unusual way of reading, only with peripheral vision and the associated grasping-whole-scenes stuff. What you need to read at setting 1 or 2 on an Oasis 1 is either *cones* that are astonishingly good at functioning at low light levels (not much to do with night vision, since that is a property of rods), or a brain really good at extrapolating from almost no input... or an Oasis with much brighter LEDs than mine!
