Hi, you are wearing spectacles for myopia, I do understand your concern
I would suggest
1) To wear the spectacles as much time as possible, as this will help to stabilize the power, and to maintain in same range.
2) Wearing a clear lens with shatter proof would help a lot in means of comfort and safety.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
