[[Differentials]] are essential for successful vision improvement, if you have myopia above -2, and can't see screens clearly without glasses. You cannot wear your full strength prescription glasses for [[close work]], as this is the primary stimulus that elongated your eyeball in the first place. Full strength glasses, when combined with screens are the primary cause of [[lens-induced myopia]].

Differentials are ~~significantly undercorrected~~ glasses* that are used only for screens. They are typically used when someone has more than -2 [[spherical]] [[diopters]].<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/low-myopia-when-can-you-stop-wearing-glasses/}}</ref>

Differentials are glasses that correct for near vision and are used only for close-up (screens, reading books). They are typically used when someone has more than -2 [[spherical]] [[diopters]].<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/low-myopia-when-can-you-stop-wearing-glasses/}}</ref>

If you're ~~below~~ -2 ~~diopters in your eyes~~, you can ~~instead~~ not wear glasses for close-up work.

If you're between 0 and -2 D, you can choose not to wear glasses for close-up work on screens, but a weak minus might be required if you work at a longer distance. It is also possible to read books at -2.5 without glasses.

*(correctly corrected, if you ~~think about it)~~

====Distance Vision====

[[Distance vision]], without a doubt is your '''primary habit to improve vision'''. The combination of distance vision with Active Focus is the reason anyone gets back to 20/20 in a relatively efficient and effective manner. There are ways to improve eyesight without distance vision, such as Active Focusing onto screens. However, this is vastly inferior to distance vision habits.

[[Distance vision]], without a doubt is your '''primary habit to improve vision'''. The combination of distance vision with Active Focus is the reason anyone gets back to 20/20 in a relatively efficient and effective manner. There are ways to improve eyesight without distance vision, such as Active Focusing onto screens [citation needed]. However, this is vastly inferior to distance vision habits.

Incorporating distance vision can be done to varying degrees in your life based on many factors. If you're already in a profession or obligation that requires a lot of distance vision, you should be good to go. If not, make a [[habit]] of getting distance vision into your life.

People tend to '''overcomplicate''' vision improvement. EndMyopia is fiendish in that it's relatively simple to understand what to do and start improving.
