{{jake says|'''Equalizing''': Reducing the difference between left and right eye spherical diopters.}}<ref>https://endmyopia.org/pro-topic-nick-is-time-to-equalize-diopters/</ref>

Equalizing is improving one eye instead of both eyes at the same time. It's done to reduce the [[diopter gap]] between two eyes, so that both eyes have a more similar or identical level of correction. It is recommended to do at least 2 spherical reductions before attempting to equalize. At which point you will alternate a monocular (one eye only) drop, with a binocular (both eyes) drop or better still, two binocular drops before another monocular drop. It is not recommended to do two monocular drops in a row. This approach should work for spherical and cylindrical reductions alike, and like all reductions should be done in the standard of .25 at a time; except sometimes it is possible to reduce cylinder more by using [[spherical equivalent]].

Be mindful to maintain your [[diopter ratio]] for both [[normalized]] and [[differentials]].

You may need to incorporate some [[patching]] through this process.
