Resolvable blur is the stimulus that decreases the [[axial length]] of the eye, reversing [[myopia]]. Conversely, excessive sharpness is the stimulus that increases the axial length of the eye, leading to myopia. These axial length changes take place slowly, over years. It took years for [[myope]]s to become as nearsighted as they are today, so it takes years to completely reverse it. In order to achieve results, active focus must be a habit, something that myopes are always doing without thinking much about it.

Active focus is a balancing act. Too much blur, and the eyes will not be able to resolve the blur challenge. When the challenge is unresolved, there is no long-term vision improvement. If the object in focus is too sharp, then [[myopic]] eyes are not getting the necessary stimulus to improve. Wearing a [[full ~~prescription~~]] will result in a [[blur horizon]] of infinity, meaning that the eyes will never get the necessary blur, even if looking as far away as possible. It's best to ~~never~~ wear the full prescription, and instead wear a [[differential ~~prescription~~]] and a [[normalized ~~prescription~~]] depending on the situation.

If the object in focus is too sharp, then [[myopic]] eyes are not getting the necessary stimulus to improve. Wearing a [[full correction]] will result in a [[blur horizon]] of infinity, meaning that the eyes will never get the necessary blur, even if looking as far away as possible. It's best to rarely wear the full prescription, and instead wear [[differential]] and [[normalized]] lenses depending on the situation.

Practitioners of active focus may experience fast progress at first, and then slow progress. Eye care professionals may over-prescribe the corrective power of lenses, so dropping the over-prescribed diopters may feel like instant "progress". Pseudomyopia can be treated quickly, so it may be another source of fast initial progress. Beyond over-prescription and pseudomyopia, the speed of the journey to 20/20 is estimated by Jake Steiner to be roughly 0.25 diopters every 3 months.
