{{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. | |||
{{Jake says| | |||
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. | |||
