He likely paid more for the progressive lenses, and as a result, the optometrist also made more money. Therefore, any professional opinions provided by the optometrist are going to be biased by the money involved. In fact, money is probably the reason he ended up receiving a product he didn't need or want in the first place.
I was sold the same bottle of snake oil when I was 40. Asking his optometrist these questions is the last thing you would want to do.

Also detonating a nuke would be a full fledged war
Lets ponder the stupidity of that statement for a moment...
Several different nations have detonated over a combined 2000 nukes throughout history, and none of them resulted in a "full fledged war". Furthermore, only two nukes have been detonated during wartime, however it was a "full fledged war" that resulted in the detonation of the nukes. It was not the detonation of the nukes that resulted in the full fledged war. In fact, throughout history exactly ZERO detonated nukes have ever resulted in a full fledged war. Since there is ZERO evidence to support your claim, I'd say you look pretty stupid right about now.
Before you troll around the interwebs looking for "stupidity" in other people, you should check the mirror first.
