When you're starting out with EndMyopia, '''you will likely have a lot of [[ciliary spasm]] and eye strain'''. Lucky you! This means [[Explainer:Why early gains are so fast|your early rate of improvement will be staggeringly high]], before it plateaus and you enter the long game of much slower improvements.

The golden rule with all of EndMyopia: [[Guide:Not reducing too quickly|don't reduce too quickly]]. It is recommended that you reduce no more than 0.25 diopters from ~~correction you can see~~ 20/20 ~~with~~. This gives plenty of good stimulus and blur challenge for the majority of moderate myopes. If your myopia is higher (7 diopter+), you may consider doing a 0.5 reduction. But in general '''there are no benefits to reducing more quickly''', and most of the time reducing too quickly will lead to problems than faster progress. Take your time!

The golden rule with all of EndMyopia: [[Guide:Not reducing too quickly|don't reduce too quickly]]. It is recommended that you reduce no more than 0.25 diopters from [[20/20 correction]]. This gives plenty of good stimulus and blur challenge for the majority of moderate myopes. If your myopia is higher (7 diopter+) or you need more challenge for stimulus, you may consider doing a 0.5 reduction. But in general '''there are no benefits to reducing more quickly''', and most of the time reducing too quickly will lead to problems than faster progress. Take your time!

Jake recommends starting with [[differentials]], and using normalized 4–6 weeks later after starting differentials.<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/pro-topic-differential-now-normalized-in-4-6-weeks/|Pro Topic: Differential Now, Normalized In 4-6 Weeks}}</ref> There may be a fair amount of over correction to remove, your measurements through the 4-6 weeks of differentials use should help you to determine if you need more that the 0.25 reduction (up to 0.50 for high myopia). High myopes will generally get more accurate measurements by using differentials to measure with and accounting for the difference. In general, never reduce more than 1 diopter for your first pair of normalized, from the correction you were using before EndMyopia. In the early stages of vision improvement, your goal will be to find [[Active Focus]], and correcting your distance vision habits so that you can get the stimulus you need to improve your eyesight.
