Line 3:

If you don't use differentials at all, or are overcorrected for a given distance, your progress will be stunted. Accommodation of the eye to [[hyperopic defocus]] is the main reason [[axial elongation]] happens in the first place.

==Simple way==

==Reducing==

Stagger reductions between differentials and normalized, unless equalizing.

Following the principles of [[zero-diopter reset]], if you already wore the previous differentials, do not wear the new differentials until the next day.

==First differentials==

===Simple way===

The EndMyopia process will probably involve a lot of trial and error. Bearing this in mind, Jake recommends you reduce from your glasses prescription by about '''1.25 diopters'''.<ref name=ChooseReduction>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/choose-reduced-glasses-prescription-differential-close-friendly-glasses/|How To Choose A Reduced Glasses Prescription (Differential / Close-Up Friendly Glasses)}}</ref> This will depend on the distance you work from the screen, so reduce it by less if you work farther from the screen. Between 1-2 diopters is a good range - anything more than that and you'll probably want to double check it's a good idea.

==Complicated way with math==

The base point is an [[emmetropic eye]] with 20/20 vision.
