The EndMyopia process will probably involve a lot of trial and error. Bearing this in mind, Jake recommends you reduce from your glasses prescription by about '''1.25 diopters'''.<ref name=ChooseReduction>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/choose-reduced-glasses-prescription-differential-close-friendly-glasses/|How To Choose A Reduced Glasses Prescription (Differential / Close-Up Friendly Glasses)}}</ref> This will depend on the distance you work from the screen, so reduce it by less if you work farther from the screen. Between 1-2 diopters is a good range - anything more than that and you'll probably want to double check it's a good idea. | The EndMyopia process will probably involve a lot of trial and error.

===Simple way with math=== | |||
1. Measure the distance to your monitor (in centimeters). | |||
2. Convert that number to diopters. | |||
3. Subtract the number you just got from your full prescription. | |||
