    If one and two look the same to you, does it matter which one is prescribed? Can you even say that the prescription is correct?

        One, or two, which is better? They’re just questions, odd, designed to determine the optimal prescription. Shall we continue? Describe in single words, only the good things that come to mind about your eyesight.

      If they look the same, you are prescribed the weaker of the two, to avoid overcorrection, which can worsen your eyesight over time.

        I haven’t done a test since I was a child because I generally do fine, but I wonder if some people need additional instruction about what to look for. Like the two “look the same” because they don’t know what to look for. Maybe just a “Is the apostrophe a line or a dot? Okay, how about now?”
