	Standard EM advice is to wear differentials when looking at static focal planes (e.g. 2D planes like screens, books) at fixed distances for extended periods of time. The main activities EM warns ~~about~~ include screen work, media consumption, and checking phone notifications. It is okay to wear normalized in other contexts, such as when eating a meal, or looking at your conversation partners. It is also permitted to wear differentials in other close-up contexts based on personal preference, but there is no need to overdo normalized/differential glasses changes. (for example, there is no need to swap to differentials whenever someone walks up to you for a conversation)		Standard EM advice is to wear differentials when looking at static focal planes (e.g. 2D planes like screens, books) at fixed distances for extended periods of time.

	'''What is "close" work?''' Norms minus diffs = the number of diopters you need to convert to find this answer. For example, if your normalized glasses are -5 and your differential glasses are -3.5, then you need to convert -1.5. You should be able to see 66.67cm with -1.50 myopia! That's about 26.24 inches, or a little more than 2 feet.		'''What is "close" work?'''
