I have lattice in both eyes and have never treated it. Moreover excellent Eye MDs often disagree about what lattice needs RX.  I would suggest you get second opinion, or go with the Eye MD you are most confident in.  I suspect you will not need RX with such a low degree of myopia (this assumes you have no family history of retinal detachment)
