"Ocular Dominance" is a naturally occurring phenomenon. One eye is naturally dominate while the other is non dominate. Much the same as hand dominance. This means one eye is usually going to see just a bit better, and improve a bit faster than the other. It is strongly advised to wait until the non dominate eye catches up, before introducing a new reduction. You might help this along with some moderate [[patching]]. Many opticians compensate for this by adding extra correction to the non dominate eye. If your "prescription" has this compensation, then at some point (generally after 2-3 spherical reductions) you will want to work toward [[equalizing]].
