Subject: I like medical people. They have an impossible job, and are doing the best that they can. Sometimes - that is not good enough.

Please note: I do everything in my power to be not-critical of this situation. I hope you understand. What this video means to me is this. If I need or wish prevention (while I can still read the 20/40 line), I MUST DO IT MYSELF. There is no need for any argument about this issue.
But I do not agree with them, that preventing negative status for the natural eye (for them) is impossible. I always believe in listening to them, and their arguments and discussions about this critical topic. Here is the opinion of a highly qualified ophthalmologist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDTbtpfpacI always ask questions about the minus lens - probably making the initial, "nearsightedness" profoundly worse. Here he uses the term, "reading glasses", although he does not define whether he means a minus or plus lens.

This doctor (above) simply says, "hogwash", and won his argument.
I suggest - there has GOT to be a better way.
I am not going to argue about this. You want a minus lens for full time wear? Then you should have your minus lens - and wear it all the time.
