[[Differentials]] are '''essential''' for successful vision improvement. You cannot wear your full strength prescription glasses for [[close work]], as this is the primary stimulus that elongated your eyeball in the first place. Full strength glasses, when combined with screens are the primary cause of [[lens-induced myopia]]. | [[Differentials]] are '''essential''' for successful vision improvement.

Differentials are significantly undercorrected glasses that are used only for screens. They are typically used when someone has more than -2 [[spherical]] diopters.<ref>{{cite jake|https://endmyopia.org/low-myopia-when-can-you-stop-wearing-glasses/}}</ref> | Differentials are significantly undercorrected glasses that are used only for screens.

[[Normalized]] should undercorrect you by 0.25 diopters from the [[correction]] you would need to see at [[20/20]]. Don't reduce more than 0.25, as reducing faster than necessary provides no benefit and can stagnate progress.
