	Measuring your eyesight can be done in several different ways. Remember eyesight fluctuates from day to day based on many factors, one measurement alone is not necessarily the most accurate indication of your vision. Before you order new correction, or decide to reduce, try to get enough measurements to have a good idea what your typical vision is. Since you are measuring yourself you can take the time to get ~~a better~~ idea of what your most consistent vision is.		Measuring your eyesight can be done in several different ways. Remember eyesight fluctuates from day to day based on many factors, one measurement alone is not necessarily the most accurate indication of your vision. Before you order new correction, or decide to reduce, try to get enough measurements to have a good idea what your typical vision is. Since you are measuring yourself, you can take the time to get the best idea of what your most consistent vision trends are. You will gain the most complete understanding of your vision trends should you track all three measuring methods.

	~~Centimetre~~ measurements are seeing your [[distance to blur]] with a tape measure held against a screen or book. 12 point font is recommended, you will see blur at the same distance regardless of font size, however it will be easier to distinguish the edge of blur with 12 pt font.		Centimeter measurements are seeing your [[distance to blur]] with a tape measure held against a screen or book. 12 point font is recommended, you will see blur at the same distance regardless of font size, however it will be easier to distinguish the edge of blur with 12 pt font. Remember you are seeking the point where clarity is no longer sharp, '''not''' the edge of readability (though if you wish to notate this too in your records you certainly may).
