{{Jake says|Yes.  Euphrasia officinalis.
But you might also want to explore the cause of dry eyes and address that.  Eye drops are a stop gap solution (in most cases), not something you want to do long term – replacing the tear fluid lipidome isn’t really the best of ideas.  }}

=====Why am I getting double vision with reduced diopters?=====
{{main|Double vision}}
You start out with complete blur. As your eyes improve, your axial length has decreased but your [[visual cortex]] is still getting used to the different signal. Then, your visual cortex adapts and you get clear vision.

All I can tell you for sure is that you need to follow blur > double vision > clear > lower prescription in your progression of lens reductions, and not simply go blur > double vision > lower prescription. }}

{{main|Reducing}}
It's strongly not recommended you reduce by 0.50. [[Patience|Reducing faster does not equate to faster progress]]. In many cases, reducing too quickly will stagnate or stop your gains altogether.
If you have above 7 diopters of myopia, you can consider reducing 0.50 at a time.

'''Whenever you're ready to'''. There are many different rates of improvement among EndMyopians, and you need to find out how fast yours is before deciding whether reducing is a good idea or not.
