[quote=Anonymous]My optician is on maternity leave and I really, really disliked the person who's filling in - so, I do recognize that part of my distrust in her recommendation is b/c of the personality clash.

I had eye surgery several years ago and have been noticing an eyesight decline over the past couple of years that's very annoying.  My eyes tested at -0.25 in both, which I understand often goes uncorrected.  I'm pretty sure the only reason it's bothersome to me is because I was at 20/20 so I know how perfect it could be.  ;)  I'd never wear contacts or glasses at this time, though, because living without is much better.

My 8 year old son, coincidentally, had the exact same prescription.  The eye doctor suggested purchasing him glasses for far away (black/white board work) and he could remove for reading or working at his desk.  I think taking glasses off and on through the day will lead to him losing them.  I *think* if I never knew how great my vision could be, I'd likely not complain at all about what it is.  (He's never complained or said he can't see anything, but he did make lots of ooohs and ahhhs during the test itself when he saw how much clearer things were.)  Maybe I'm wrong, what have you done with this minor prescription for your child?
