	==~~Asking~~ the ~~resources~~ that already exist==		==Read extensively before asking questions==
	~~EndMyopia has built up a large existing canon~~ of ~~free resources. These free resources were made for full immersion, not for~~ the ~~readers~~ to ~~pick-~~and~~-mix what they do and don~~'~~t want to do. You have to do several things, together, correctly in order to improve your vision, just doing [[Active Focus]] or just improving your [[habits]] won~~'~~t suffice.~~		{{Main\|Explainer:Read first}}
			Try to resist the temptation to ask questions about how things work before reading the materials that already exist. The stuff that's already out there will answer questions much better than whatever small amount of useful information someone might give you in the reply to a post, and '''''we're all tired of answering basic questions''''' {{smiley}}

	~~Here is an exhaustive list of free resources available:~~
	~~{{Template:Readables}}~~
	~~===Reading > asking for support===~~
	~~[[File:Spin the wheel.gif\|right]]~~
	~~{{Shortcut\|READFIRST}}~~
	These resources don't involve asking anyone else for advice. That's a good thing, because any time you ask the advice of someone else, '''they are likely giving you a much reduced level of detail, compared to what you actually need to know to improve your eyesight'''.

	You're spinning a wheel and hoping someone will give you something helpful (by chance), instead of going directly to a resource that has a high level of detail and is guaranteed to be helpful and thorough.

	~~There is a choice between:~~
	~~#Detailed, crafted information prewritten trying to give you the detail needed to improve eyesight~~
	~~#Whatever someone decides to write you at that moment (spin the wheel)~~

	In the early stages of improving your vision, '''reading will always be superior to asking questions to the community'''. We're sorry, but nearly all of your basic questions have been answered elsewhere and in much greater detail.
