Pro topic, Holmes. Don’t monkey with diopter unless you know how all the pieces work together.  

If you do, here are some worthwhile posts on equalizing / patching:

A lot of these scenarios are best evaluated case-by-case so be sure to learn all about diopter equalizing before trying things.  Supportive, myopia control friendly optometrist also likely great to have around.

And as always, there’s quite a bit of excessive patching advice floating around online.  Remember to introduce stimulus gradually and in the case of single eye activity, a little does go a long way.

Here’s the video:

Nice background, eh?
