If you are here, chances are that you have a large left-right diopter gap ([[diopter ratio]] exceeding 20%), such as -1 diopter or less of correction in one eye while having -4 diopters or more in the other. This goes beyond the typical case of over compensated [[ocular dominance]], though it may have begun that way. This may well be what is known as amblyopia, or "lazy eye". If this condition has been present since birth and/or is a medical condition it is probable that there are limits to how much the EndMyopia method can help you; but you won’t know what they are unless you try. Most often amblyopia is treated with [[vision training]]. If you seek out a behavioral optometrist they may be able to aid you with therapies you can use in conjunction with EndMyopia, though in theory a determined person would be able to improve either way. If the condition is accompanied by a [[convergence]] issue keep in mind this method only deals with [[refractive state]] not medical conditions. You should have a full eye health screening by an ophthalmologist on a regular basis. | If you are here, chances are that you have a large left-right [[diopter gap]] ([[diopter ratio]] exceeding 20%), such as -1 diopter or less of correction in one eye while having -4 diopters or more in the other.

If this | If this diopter gap happened more recently, take inventory of how you are using your eyes to create this one sided stimulus, since this will be important to address as you proceed. | ||
