When to reduce lens complexity
Lens complexity is best reduced before getting into the [low diopters] range. Ideally, both eyes would be equal before -1.5 diopters. (TODO: cite an EM source for this)
How to reduce lens complexity
Make your first reduction a simple spherical reduction. This will teach you the basics of the EndMyopia methods.
There are two types of reductions:
- A simple reduction is a 0.25 diopter drop in lense power for both eyes, simultaneously
- An equalizing reduction is a drop in lense power for one eye, the eye with greater correction (more negative)
An equalizing reduction is done to bring the eyes closer to having the same level of correction.
