Violeta: /* Evidence for reversible axial change */

This article isn't fully developed, there are many studies that could go on this page that aren't here at the moment.

Differentials

'''Differentials''' are reduced glasses for [[close-up|close up activity]]. They have a lower correction than your [[normalized]] lenses that allows you to see clearly only up to the screen. The difference between [[normalized]] and differential lenses is usually between 1 and 2 [[diopters]].<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/faq-items/what-is-the-differential-prescription/|What is the differential prescription?}}</ref><ref name=ChooseReduction>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/choose-reduced-glasses-prescription-differential-close-friendly-glasses/|How To Choose A Reduced Glasses Prescription (Differential / Close-Up Friendly Glasses)}}</ref>

People with myopia of -2 and lower do not typically need to wear differentials.

If you are wearing contact lenses, it is recommended to use plus lenses of a suitable power over the contacts as differential glasses.
==Why are differentials worn?==
The primary stimulus for [[axial elongation]] of the eyeball is [[hyperopic defocus]], which occurs when someone:
* Is engaged in close-up activity
* Wears more correction than they need to when seeing the object that is close up.

Differentials allow the wearer to wear ''just what they need to'', to see up close. This removes the stimulus of hyperopic defocus, and stops eyes from getting more myopic. In a sense, it's a [[quick fix]]. {{wink}}

It's fairly easy to stop myopia from progressing, by just wearing differentials. The axial length of the eye does not randomly change by itself, it only changes in response to [[stimulus]].

Guide:How to measure your eyesight

2020-06-08T11:34:24Z

Violeta: /* Snellen chart */

{{Under_construction}}
Measuring your eyesight can be done in several different ways.

==Centimetre measurements==
Centimetre measurements are seeing your [[distance to blur]] with a tape measure held against a screen, usually.

[[Measurement tools|You can see various tools to accomplish this here.]]

==Snellen chart==
A [[Snellen chart]] is good as it controls a lot of variables. If you stand at the '''same distance''' with the '''same given pair of glasses''' in '''similar, or same lighting''' and notice an improvement over time, then it's safe to say your eyesight is improving.

If you check your Snellen with your next, i.e. reduced pair of [[normalized]], and you can see the 20/50 line, it's usually not a bad idea to start using those.<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/2050-the-brilliant-super-simple-rule-for-improving-eyesight/}}</ref>

==Real world object==
This usually works best with signs. Take a given object, preferably with text that you see very frequently and see whether there's an improvement over time in how well you can see the object.

This one might not produce hard figures like the other two methods, so it's better to use this exclusively only once you're sure you're getting improvements as verified by the other methods that produce numbers.
