You hear me talk about ‘junk’ diopters and about prescription complexity and about using only as much focal plane change as you actually need.

Diopters themselves, what the number means and how to track your own, now have one page: diopters, explained.

Sorting all that out, a big initial part of your road to improving eyesight.

Take a look at Yulia’s experience, as she updates us in the forum. For reference Yulia came in with -2 diopters of cylinder (astigmatism) in the left eye, and -1D cylinder in the right eye. That’s a total of three diopters of axis specific correction, that turns out she doesn’t need for much of her daily use:

Astigmatism now has one page that gathers all of this in one place: astigmatism, what it is and what changes it.

Beautiful update!

This is really the ideal scenario, the student working with the program, learning to self-guide, but then also having the support of an open minded local optometrist. Having the tools for detailed measurements (test lens kits, so helpful), having immediate access to a shop to cut your lenses, all makes for a great experience – and better eyes!

Thanks to Yulia for posting the update (full story here in the forum) and let’s look forward to lots more!

Cheers,
