==Adjusting Differentials==
Ideally your differentials give you a small amount of blur at your daily near work.  The nature of your work, the distance to your work, and your [[refractive state]] and [[cylinder]] dependance are all factors in choosing your differentials.  You may get your first differentials and discover you have a headache and you really shouldn't have dropped cylinder.  You may find that your work is pretty close or really far and you need to adjust the strength up or down.  You may find that you really need detailed vision to do your work and you'll settle for slowing progression with your differentials and do your blur challenge for improvement in your off hours.  This is the first place in the program where you really need to start understanding what you're tinkering with and make personalized diopter specific choices.

Differentials allow the wearer to wear ''just what they need to'', to see up close. This removes the stimulus of hyperopic defocus, and stops eyes from getting more myopic. In a sense, it's a [[quick fix]]. {{wink}}

It's fairly easy to stop myopia from progressing, by just wearing differentials. The axial length of the eye does not randomly change by itself, it only changes in response to [[stimulus]].
