If the child, when checked, has 20/40 on his Snellen, he should not be given a minus lens. Rather, it should be explained to him, that it would be wise to wear a +3 for all close work -- and check his Snellen to make certain his visual acuity stays at 20/40 or better. This would avoid the use of the minus, but depend on systematic and wise use of the plus by the person.
The best way is wearing +3.00 reading glasses or have a +3.00 add to your glasses prescription when doing close up work like reading, using the computer, etc. This will slow down the progression of myopia more effectively than looking far away after every 30 minutes of close up work because it saves more time.
