A normal healthy eye can experience blur by looking at images through lenses or mirrors that cannot be cleared by [[accommodation]].

A common description of blur is that it looks like [[wikipedia:Gaussian blur | Gaussian blur]].
A common description of spherical (myopic or hyperopic) blur is that it looks like [[wikipedia:Gaussian blur | Gaussian blur]]. Note that spherical defocus can also cause double vision, not just blur.
 
A good [[normalized]] creates some blur or double vision challenge for distant objects, but objects that are slightly closer are clear. A good [[differential]] creates some blur or double vision challenge near the ergonomic working distance. They should be determined by calculating [[diopter]]s and [[cm]], but a normalized is typically 20/20 to 20/50, and a differential is typically 20/40 to 20/150.

"Blur Adaption" unfortunately has two meanings.  The meaning commonly meant by EM forum members is encountering so much blur that the visual system gives up. This is something like learned helplessness at the biological level.

===Clinical Blur Adaption===
===Clinical Blur Adaption===
When a doctor uses the term "Blur Adaption", they mean that a person has adapted to perform visual tasks despite their blur. A common symptom is that the visual cortex perceives less blur than there actually is. This can happen with EM blur adaption, resulting in perceived visual acuity increases without actual axial reduction.
