At my more advanced age (70 +) I certainly feel that my "prescription"

Think at 70, your eyes are likely pretty well fixed focus.

Mine are nothing like that and I am older than that.

My optician, a couple of years ago, initially gave me slightly more plus
than needed for infinity. Not something you'd notice in the consulting
room. But did when driving. His answer was it was a compromise most liked.

Likely for the better focus on finer stuff like labels in the supermarket
etc.

I didn't.
