If you are here, chances are that you have -1 diopter or less of correction in one eye while having -4 diopters or more in the other | 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 this [[diopter ratio]] gap happened more recently take inventory of how you are using your eyes to create this one sided stimulus, this will be important to address as you proceed. | If this [[diopter ratio]] gap happened more recently take inventory of how you are using your eyes to create this one sided stimulus, this will be important to address as you proceed. | ||
