"Overprescription is lightning fast to get rid of".  Hmm... is it ?  For those of who live in countries where prescribing lenses requires a license (eg here in the UK), it means going back to your optician and trying to persuade them to give you a weaker set of glasses. How do you actually know if you've been overprescribed ? "it just comes off" may be easier said than done. (And if you've just paid lots of money for your new glasses, you might not be so happy about it!  Unless you can blame the optimisation and have them pay to replace the lenses.)  The quick fix is ensuring you don't wear them when using phone/tablet, unless you have to. Is getting differentials more important that getting a new prescription ?  In a sense, fixing the overprescription is just getting normalised. But I think Jake recommends doing that 6 weeks after getting differentials ?  Anyway, if you've just been given a new prescription, your previous pair of glasses might be a good substitute for normalised. That's basically what I've done. They're probably slightly weaker than recommended - I'd already skipped an upgrade or two, so they had reached below legal driving minimum by the time I replaced them. But I'm waffling again...[[User:Divenal|Divenal]] ([[User talk:Divenal|talk]])

Wouldn't pseudomyopia be the main reason for overprescription, rather than just tweaking out the last bit of blur. (Do they use the red/green test for fine-tuning ?)[[User:Divenal|Divenal]] ([[User talk:Divenal|talk]])
