What’s “ergonomically comfortable close-up distance”, and how do glasses affect it? Should you wear differential glasses or normalized glasses correction indoors? How about -1 D (just diagnosed myopia) – do you want to wear glasses, […]
What happens when you get new differentials?
Equalizing (reducing the diopter ratio between left and right eye spherical correction) is one of the more advanced topics here on endmyopia.
We have a whole topic category just covering the subject of diopter correction. […]
High myopia can be tricky to start working on, especially if you are starting out with a complex correction scenario.
Astigmatism, likely even different diopter value and different degree values for both eyes, plus the high spherical […]
Pro topic, this.
So you have more than one diopter of cylinder correction in your glasses.
You figured out that for close-up you don’t want to be wearing full minus (bravo!), and now you wonder what to do […]
Semi-pro topic, this one. A supportive optometrist is a great idea for any type of lens adventure. Be aware of local laws regarding prescription lenses. This as usual, not optometry or medical (as if!) advice. […]
differential glasses
Update Note: Since the original post many years ago, we stopped using the term ‘prescriptions’ for the most part. Glasses are clear curved pieces of plastic and can generally be bought in […]
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 […]
Differential glasses are a reduced diopter specifically for close-up use.
Using a full correction meant to correct myopia at long distances while focused up-close, will lead to more lens-induced myopia. To reduce the eye strain and […]

I have a high prescription -6.5 with astigmatism in the left eye and -7.0 in the right.
Up to […]
