When the lenses sit on your eyeballs, view compression is absent. This is the case when you wear contact lenses. For glasses you can get some of this benefit by choosing frames with really small diameter lenses and having the nose pads and ear hooks be adjusted to pull the frames closer to your eyeballs than you would be able to with larger diameter frames as these won't fit between your eyebrow ridge and cheek bones. The practical limit of how deep you can place small-diameter lenses is reached when your eye lashes brush against the lenses.

As a severe myope, you probably learned that pushing your ~~frames~~ up your nose a bit ~~will~~ bring distant objects into better focus. This is because moving a minus lens closer to your eyeball increases its effective strength. Read the page on [[vertex distance]] to learn the details. For high-strength minus lenses, this results in a significant vertex distance correction that you ~~have to~~ take into account when doing the End Myopia program.
