Dear Dicky,
Subject: "Prescribing" -- under YOUR control.
I wonder what would be the result if you did what you say --
self-prescribe.
Would you over-prescribe -- or would you be more likely to get your
Snellen and minus "just right".
It is true that a night, you would tend to over-prescribe youself --
but
I wonder by how much.
What I suggest is that (as a base-line) you verify you pass the DMV --
and
then go down and do it -- for final confirmation.
Now, if you wish a stronger minus -- well, as you said, Dicky, you
can just order some -0.75 diopters from Zenni.
Workable?
Best,
Otis
