===Very low myopia===

Instead of reducing from -1.5, -1.25, or -1 (based on personal preference), ~~another~~ strategy is to alternate zero and normalized correction, which is a variation of [[zero diopter reset]].

Instead of reducing from -1.5, -1.25, or -1 (based on personal preference), the current EM strategy is to alternate zero and normalized correction, which is a variation of [[zero diopter reset]].

==Moderate Myopia==

Line 15:

==High Myopia==

Definitions vary, but more than -5 or -6 diopters is considered high myopia. This category has a higher risk of various eye diseases and should be particularly regular about getting exams from an [[optometrist]] or ophthalmologist.

Definitions vary, but more than -5 or -6 diopters is considered high myopia. This category has a higher risk of various eye diseases and should be particularly regular about getting exams from an [[optometrist]] or ophthalmologist. If your myopia is even worse, see the [[severe myopia]] page for guidance.

Very few people have high myopia for genetic reasons. Most people who have high myopia had gradually-increasing [[lens-induced myopia]].
