It is often useful to disambiguate what is being compared:
* ''left-right gap'': left eye diopters minus right eye diopters, ignoring axis
* ''left-right gap'': left eye diopters minus right eye diopters, ignoring axis
  * In the example above, the left-right gap is +0.5 SPH -0.5 CYL.
** In the example above, the left-right gap is +0.5 SPH -0.5 CYL.
* ''diff-norm gap'': differentials diopter minus normalized diopters, ignoring axis
* ''diff-norm gap'': differentials diopter minus normalized diopters, ignoring axis
  * As an example, if normalized is -2 SPH -0.5 CYL, and differentials are -0.75 SPH, the diff-norm gap is 1.25 SPH 0.5 CYL or 1.5 SPH equivalent.
** For example, if normalized is -2 SPH -0.5 CYL, and differentials are -0.75 SPH, the diff-norm gap is 1.25 SPH 0.5 CYL or 1.5 SPH equivalent.
