I went to Lens crafters for new glasses and lenses. The doc did the exam and
said each eye need a slight correction increase. I don't know what these
numbers mean but here they are:
I'm near sited.                 sphere        cylinder      axis      prism    
add
                       OD:        -100            -100          105          
      +200
                       OS:        -125            -100          075          
      +200
They are maximum view progressive lenses.  I think the +200 is for the reading
part of the lenses. When I get the glasses they fit them for me and off I go.
Takes awhile to get used to these type of lenses but they seem fine. The next
few days I notice my left eye is blurrier (distant viewing) than with my old
glasses. The right eye is fine. At night I can't even read street signs using
the left eye only.
So I go back to the store. Explain to the person as above. He re-fits
them.....still the same. He verifies the correct prescription of the glasses
and says they are as prescribed by the doctor. So I'm sent back to the doctor
and he re-checks my eyes....(is this better or worse thing.) He says the
prescription is still the correct one....even says that the new prescription
has a slight correction in both eyes than the old glasses. So I'm sent back to
the floor person. More adjustments to to glasses but still the same. He finally
gives up and offers my money back. What else can I do but accept. I won't thow
away over $300.00 on a pair of glasses I can't wear. How can my left eye be
blurrier with the new glasses (with added correction) than my old glasses?  And
the right eye is fine.
