| * I have [https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes SafeEyes] installed on my computer. It's supposed to remind you to take a break from looking at the screen. I just got close-up glasses (differentials), and I have found that it's helpful for reminding me to check and make sure I'm wearing them! I have also found that setting it to interrupt once every minute (for 1-3 seconds, I forget how long) provides just enough time to make sure I'm active focusing. Every minute I'm on the computer.

| * [https://community.endmyopia.org/t/diffs-for-distance-vision-also-during-1st-month/16002/3?u=heart only change one focal plane at a time.] So it is presumably a good idea not to start wearing new differential and normalized glasses at the same time.

| ==My Glasses History==
| | * "the actual sustained improvement happens after, when that improvement appears consistent. Leave 3-4 months between diopter reductions, even (and especially if) things seem improved and consistent even after a much shorter time span." second-hand quote from jake |
| I figured I should track this somewhere and maybe someday I will make enough progress that this level of detail will be interesting to someone besides me. Or maybe just knowing my context is useful. Also adding other non-glasses stuff that could be relevant.

| :Zenni frame 411516 because it's got half a dozen colors so I can keep track of new glasses easier, and it's the cheapest metal frames they sell. These frames are blue.

| ====Eating more fiber====
| |
| : Figured out I can get most of my vitamins and minerals from 2 cups cooked greens and a can of beans every day. My fiber intake just went up dramatically and permanently.

| ====Quit refined sugar====
| |
| | |
| :Did someone refine the fiber out? I won't eat it. Juice? Unacceptable. Honey? Refined by bees. Maple syrup? Sure, if I'm gnawing on a maple tree. Cane sugar? Sure, if I'm eating the cane alone with it. And so forth.
| |
| | |
| :NOTE: This took me 20 years of effort before it finally stuck. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again. I get refined sugar on my birthdays.

| Kept forgetting my glasses at home and not being able to see the blackboard clearly from the first row. Annoyed teacher told me I needed to start remembering to bring my glasses. This is when I started wearing glasses full time.

| ===Late 1980s===
| |
| | |
| '''I was warned.''' When I was given my first pair of glasses, I was told, repeatedly, ''don't wear these glasses when you don't need them.'' I was living in England at the time. Not sure if it was an English doctor or a US military doctor.

| ==Why I'm here==
