The correct prescribing technique is indeed called "over-plussing". (It used to be called "hyperfocal distance" a thousand years ago...pupils and depth of focus and whatnot but forget I ever said this.)
And he's right: overplussing in glasses is stupid. (Overplussing in contacts is...smart, when you're desperate, because...multifocals ain't awesome.)
And he's right that the red-green balance/ bichrome/ duochrome is the ultimate way to get the final spherical endpoint.
But I take issue with overminusing. No, R = G is the preferred endpoint. (Do you want to underplus a dude like Kwill so he has to tilt his head even further to see his Bud Light can? I didn't think so.)
So Kwill is 3/4, which is very good.
