|+ Approximate categorizations of myopia by [[spherical]] lens power:

|-

| 0.00 to -0.75 dpt || ~~Probably~~ don't need glasses

| 0.00 to -0.50 dpt || Not really considered myopic, probably don't need glasses

|-

| -1.00 to -2.00 dpt || Mild myopia, no [[~~differentials~~]] needed

| -0.50 to -1.00 dpt || Mild myopia, [[normalized]] sometimes not needed

|-

| -2.00 to -5.00 dpt || ~~Moderate~~ myopia, ~~glasses always~~ needed

| -1.00 to -2.00 dpt || Mild myopia, [[differentials]] possibly not needed

|-

| -5.00 to -10.00 dpt || High myopia

| -2.50 to -3.00 dpt || Mild myopia, differentials probably needed

|-

| -3.00 to -6.00 dpt || Moderate myopia, glasses always needed

|-

| -6.00 to -10.00 dpt || High myopia

|-

| -10.00+ dpt || Very high myopia. Field of view significantly reduced.
