My boyfriend and I share a common prescription, although he's generally a bit ahead of me. Now we're both on -1.75 but with very different wearing patterns. He's a "most-of-the-time" wearer, my style is only-when-I have to. I come from a family shortsighted family all in the region of -3 or -4, so to them -1.75 is nothing at all. I think because of this preconditioning I'd find it very difficult to adapt to wearing a prescription like mine more than is absolutely 'essential' although I recognise that it would be beneficial.
In your professional opinion, how weak is this prescription and how justifiable is "frequent" or very frequent wear? What would your recommendations be to one of your patients?
