* I have [https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes SafeEyes] installed on my computer.  It's supposed to remind you to take a break from looking at the screen.  I just got close-up glasses (differentials), and I have found that it's helpful for reminding me to check and make sure I'm wearing them!  I have also found that setting it to interrupt once every minute (for 1-3 seconds, I forget how long) provides just enough time to make sure I'm active focusing. Every minute I'm on the computer.  [[User:Angel|Angel]] ([[User talk:Angel|talk]]) 02:42, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

* [https://community.endmyopia.org/t/diffs-for-distance-vision-also-during-1st-month/16002/3?u=heart only change one focal plane at a time.] So it is presumably a good idea not to start wearing new differential and normalized glasses at the same time.  [[User:Angel|Angel]] ([[User talk:Angel|talk]]) 04:57, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

==My Glasses History==
* "the actual sustained improvement happens after, when that improvement appears consistent.  Leave 3-4 months between diopter reductions, even (and especially if) things seem improved and consistent even after a much shorter time span." second-hand quote from jake
I figured I should track this somewhere and maybe someday I will make enough progress that this level of detail will be interesting to someone besides me. Or maybe just knowing my context is useful.  Also adding other non-glasses stuff that could be relevant.

:OS/Left: -3 sphere, -1.75 cylinder, 176 axis
 
:Zenni frame 411516 because it's got half a dozen colors so I can keep track of new glasses easier, and it's the cheapest metal frames they sell. These frames are blue.

====End Myopia discovery====
: Found endmyopia.org somewhere.
 
====Eating more fiber====
: Figured out I can get most of my vitamins and minerals from 2 cups cooked greens and a can of beans every day.  My fiber intake just went up dramatically and permanently.

====Checkup====
:Talked optometrist into just checking eye health.  Eye health was fine.
===June 2019===
 
====Quit refined sugar====
 
:Did someone refine the fiber out?  I won't eat it.  Juice?  Unacceptable. Honey?  Refined by bees.  Maple syrup?  Sure, if I'm gnawing on a maple tree. Cane sugar?  Sure, if I'm eating the cane alone with it.  And so forth.
 
:NOTE: This took me 20 years of effort before it finally stuck.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again.  I get refined sugar on my birthdays.

Things I'd like to be able to see clearly without glasses again:
 
* the stars
 
* my toes
