	There is no benefit to living in excessive blur, many people do this thinking that it will give them a larger capacity for improvement, and/or the ability to improve faster. This is not only ''not'' the case, but frequently the opposite of this notion is true and the excessive blur slows progress, if not stalling it altogether. It is highly important to be sure you are getting good stimulus by using [[correction]] that provides only a little blur that you can actively clear with [[active focus]]; and be sure to be mindful to clear that blur to avoid becoming accustomed to its presence. Remember, correction is a tool, and EndMyopia principles require that correction is leveraged properly for improvement.

			So how do I know if I am blur adapted? The most tell tale sign; does everything seem clear until you try to read text at a reasonable distance? It is actually pretty easy to think most things are clear, but typically text is the best way to judge if things are as clear as they seem. Be honest in your assessment, is that text actually clear? Or are you just getting by on good enough.

	==Resolving Blur Adaptation==		==Resolving Blur Adaptation==
	If you are, or suspect you are, already blur adapted because you over reduced or even quit using correction, or else have been in a much lower correction than you need for some time; it is a good idea to address this issue first, before trying to move forward with EndMyopia. This usually means wearing full [[20/20 correction]] for a time to give the visual cortex a clarity reference. This might require a gradual increase to work your way up to that correction if you have been a long time without correction. For low myopes ~~in particular~~ intermittent use of correction, particularly in low light might be enough.

	[[Differentials]] should still be used, if you require them. Depending on how low your under correction has been until now It might be a good idea to assess the correction you are accustomed to as a differential. If you can make them work as diffs then you will need one less focal change.		[[Differentials]] should still be used, if you require them.

			It is not a good idea to try to reduce to [[normalized]] before you have spent that time in the higher correction, a few weeks is likely all you need. Without that clear reference and sufficient correction you might have a very difficult time finding/using active focus. Without active focus your eyes are unlikely to improve.

			Another important note:

			Almost everyone using stronger correction to combat blur adaptation observes the same "changes" in their vision. That is that their eye seem worse after using the stronger correction. Things seem more blurry than previously upon removal of the stronger correction and centimeter measure measurements often take a hit. THIS IS NORMAL. In fact this is a sign that your cortex has adjusted it's standard for what it perceives to be clear. It can certainly feel like a step in the wrong direction but once again active focus depends on the goal of clarity, the cortex needs to remember what clear is if your biology is going to understand that it needs to clear blur. The biology will only change with the right stimulus (repeated demand for more clarity). Vision improvement depends on the right stimulus.
