Yes, we've discussed a study where lenses of EXCESSIVE strength were fit to
try to slow the progress of myopia.

We've also discussed the results - those wearing 0.75 too MUCH did NOT get
myopic any faster OR slower than those wearing appropriate correction.

Second-opinion best,

Of course, lay opinions are always more reliable than textbooks and
peer-reviewed journals.
