It seems like the doctor was agreeing with you. He sounded confident you'd
be happy with -5.00, and you didn't trust him. There are several reasons
to believe -5.00 would work.

No, it is not a matter of "not trusting him that 5.0 would work". In fact,
it was I who suggested that. Only, that I think it would be best to try it
out, to see if that particular compromise (between near and far) is right
for me.

Actually, I'm sure too that it would "work", if by work you mean acceptable,
passable, able to get by. But as said, in coming to a compromise between
near and far vision, one wants to find the best possible compromise, not
just settle for anything that "works".

If you were prescribing a presbyopic contact lens solution for yourself, or
someone in your family, wouldn't you want to experiment to find the best
solution for that person? Would you order a box of lenses for yourself,
without having a trial of that particular lens and strength first?
