The glasses your optometrist sold, correct your vision for far distance.

You can see as far as possible, as clearly as possible with those glasses.

If you wear that high correction while looking up-close, at your screen or smartphone, or reading a book, you notably increase your risk of more myopia.

Long focal plane correction + Close distance = Myopic stimulus.

Not ideal.  Much can be done to help your eyesight health, by not wearing all that correction while you’re focused up close.  

But how do you choose a correct close-up diopter?

You want to get it right, otherwise you just create more strain.  Your optometrist won’t help.  Mainstream optometry doesn’t want to deal with anything but a single, maximum correction.

There are various free guides here in the blog on the subject.

And a whole session in the program, talking just about how you get the exact right differential (close-up) glasses.  

Now, with video.  For the visual learners.  ;-)
