Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

I hope you can provide some advice, and thank you, in advance...

My age is 46. Some six years ago, I suffered a corneal ulcer in my right eye
and my vision has not been able to be corrected to 20/20 since then (this
particularly sucks, as I had been a commercial pilot until then).

Prior to the ulcer, I had single vision correction (both for glasses, as
well as contacts):

-1.75 Left
-0.75 Right

Shortly after the ulcer healed, the ophthalmologist adjusted my prescription
accordingly:

-1.75 Left
0.00 Right

After lengthy refractions, it was determined that my right eye saw best with
no power, either way. I was comfortable with my contacts and glasses, with
that prescription.

Now, well into my 40's, I recently went for a contact lens-exam and was
given a +2.25 for my right eye -- it has been great! I seldom have to wear
reading-glasses.

Two months ago, I decided to get new eye-glass frames. This is when my
problems really began: my new eyeglasses are polycarb, and very, very
"milky."

The optometrist scoffed at my inquiry to make the right lens a +2.25, to
mimic my contact lens prescription. He said that a one-lens contact
"farsighted" prescription cannot be carried over to one lens in a pair of
glasses.

Please: is this true???

If I'm seeing well with -1.75 and +2.25 while wearing contacts, why couldn't
I have glasses built with those respective powers?

My insurance company is willing to "allow" me to swap the polycarbs for
Trivex -- will this help at all?

And what about Crizal Alize? And edge-polishing?

Sorry for the myriad of questions.

Quite confused,
Tammy
