			{{jake says\|If you want to check your prescription strength needs at home, you probably want a test lens kit. While this isn’t completely necessary for most people, you might opt to invest in a test lens kit for yourself.

			There are a lot of places to buy test lens kits. They range from a few hundred dollars to thousands, depending on the quality and the sales outlet.

	For those who get all huffy when I poke at plus lens therapy: It’s all not to say that plus lenses are bad. It’s just potentially misleading to refer to a focal plane stimulus based approach by a specific lens type. Great way to confuse people, and it’s also far too lens-centric of a thought process to make me feel comfortable. What helps your eyesight is strain reduction and positive stimulus. The kind of lens you may or may not need for this, secondary (and different for one person to the next).}}

			{{jake says\|Your prescription currently likely includes spherical, cylinder, and axis correction. These numbers aren’t probably even all the same, for both eyes. That’s prescription complexity, and it’s often not good for you, and likely not even necessary!
