Two.

Of course it is tempting to start getting the perfect focal plane for any given distance, always be near the blur horizon, always be getting active focus.  Makes sense at first proverbial glance.  Especially if you have distances you use a lot, besides your work screen and just general out-and-about.

There’s good reason though to just get two focal planes:  

Make sense?

As with so many endmyopia things, the name of the game here is all the beautiful tweaks we’ve figured out over the years to get you the most gains, with the least possible effort.

And two glasses, less effort than more-glasses.

Go make some 20/20 gains!

Cheers,

Search our Youtube channel or Website for 'transient astigmatism'. This can easily be prevented or managed. (2) Some people report an increase in eye floaters when practicing active focus. In general floaters are considered harmless but a sudden increase in floaters should be evaluated by a medical trained professional, as they could be a sign of retinal detachment or other serious medical condition. Generally taking it easy, not over straining, practicing gently and with patience should help. (3) Headaches. You're taking on a very much unsanctioned self-experiment changing diopters. Anytime you overdo things or change too much or aren't educating yourself first, you may expose yourself to strain symptoms. You should be experiencing no pain, headaches, or discomfort if you do things correctly!
