	When you're starting out with EndMyopia, '''you will likely have a lot of [[ciliary spasm]] and eye strain'''. Lucky you! This means [[Explainer:Why early gains are so fast\|your early rate of improvement will be staggeringly high]], before it slows and you enter the long game of much slower improvements.		When you're starting out with EndMyopia, '''you will likely have a lot of [[ciliary spasm]] and eye strain'''. Lucky you! This means [[Explainer:Why early gains are so fast\|your early rate of improvement will be staggeringly high]], before it slows and you enter the long game of much slower improvements.

	The golden rule with all of EndMyopia: [[Guide:Not reducing too quickly\|don't reduce too quickly]]. It is recommended that you reduce no more than 0.25 diopters from [[20/20 correction]]. This gives plenty of good stimulus and blur challenge for the majority of moderate myopes. If your myopia is higher (7 diopter+) or you need more challenge for stimulus, you may consider doing a 0.5 reduction. But in general '''there are no benefits to reducing more quickly''', and most of the time reducing too quickly will lead to problems than faster progress. Take your time!		The golden rule with all of EndMyopia: [[Guide:Not reducing too quickly\|don't reduce too quickly]]. It is recommended that you reduce no more than 0.25 diopters from [[20/20 correction]], or 0.5 D from full correction. This gives plenty of good stimulus and blur challenge for the majority of moderate myopes. If your myopia is higher (7 diopter+) or you need more challenge for stimulus, you may consider doing a 0.5 D reduction (0.75 D from full correction). But in general '''there are no benefits to reducing more quickly''', and most of the time reducing too quickly will lead to problems than faster progress. Take your time!
