Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2007Prescription Advice
Hi, I recently purchased some new eyeglasses from a low-cost chain store and the glasses didn't feel right to my eyes (it feels like the right eye is blurry) and I thought the prescription might be wrong. So, I went to a different eye doctor to get a second prescription and the second prescription seems to me to be very different from the first. So, I went back to the place where I bought the glasses and they did the exam over again and came up with the same prescription they got the first time. I don't know what to do now - how can two eye doctors come up with what seems like opposite prescriptions? The first prescription has the left eye stronger than the right while the second prescription has the right eye stronger. Any suggestions about what I should do next? The glasses (made by the 1st script) still don't feel right. Thanks. 1st prescription: OD -.50 .5 175 OS -1.00 1.0 008 2nd prescription OD -.50 .75 175 OS -.25 .75 008 Yeah, go with the ones that are more comfortable for you, it's really that simple. > Hi, I recently purchased some new eyeglasses from a low-cost chain store and > the glasses didn't feel right to my eyes (it feels like the right eye is [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > OD -.50 .75 175 > OS -.25 .75 008 is this your first pair of glasses? if not what was your old prescription >> Hi, I recently purchased some new eyeglasses from a low-cost chain store and >> the glasses didn't feel right to my eyes (it feels like the right eye is [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >is this your first pair of glasses? if not what was your old >prescription I believe the old prescription was: OD -.25 .75 175 OS -.25 .75 008 The thing that confuses me is how could one doctor find that the right needed more correction than the left while the other doctor found that it was the left eye that needed more correction. I could understand how two doctors could vary in the amount of correction needed, but I would think they'd be consistent as to which eye needed the higher amount of correction. By the way, with the old prescription I think both eyes were basically equal. |
