An [[equalizing]] reduction is done to bring the eyes closer to having the same level of correction. | An [[equalizing]] reduction is done to bring the eyes closer to having the same level of correction. Jake said that "...if you do reduce the ratio, you should have at least 2 regular spherical reductions in between."<ref>https://community.endmyopia.org/t/key-to-patching-successfully-reducing-diopter-ratio/333/6</ref> | ||
Either type of reduction can be applied to [[spherical]] power or [[cylindrical]] power. | Either type of reduction can be applied to [[spherical]] power or [[cylindrical]] power. | ||
