I am sure we have discussed this before, but it bears repeating:

Anytime you get a reduced prescription, make sure to limit your mind’s point of reference from the previous prescription.

If you get new differential (for close-up) lenses, don’t start wearing them on the same day that you were wearing your previous, higher differential.  Doing so will exaggerate the sense of blur, and have your experience starting off on the wrong foot.

Instead, put the new ones aside (resist that temptation to use them!), and wait until you had a good night sleep.  

Then, spend at least 20 minutes in the morning with no glasses, try to push a little focus without glasses after that, and then, after being in some blur for a while, and having made active focus effort, start using the new differential prescription.

This way, subjectively, the new differential will bring clarity (rather than blur, if you switched down, from the old ones during the same day).

Always remember the crutch concept, with glasses. Push yourself a bit without the crutch, and then use the crutch to get further (active focus). It doesn’t take a whole lot of this – just consistently move in the direction from blur, with active focus, to lenses, with active focus.

Even if it’s just a quick morning habit (habit!), over the long term this type of activity makes all the difference.

Same of course, is true for normalized (lowered distance prescription) lenses. Get some sleep, go outside with no glasses (as long as you can do so safely), pull some focus, and only then start wearing the new prescription. The sense of increased clarity, along with some extra pulling focus, will help ease that transition, and bring positive perspective.

It is a lot of these little things, that add up to a working recovery. Please do keep them in mind!

And of course, enjoy.
