Are they different enough to warrant me getting another test? Thanks Dear Robert, Subject: Are you going to fill the prescription. Question: What did the optometrist say was your problem? Do you think you have a serious medical problem that these prescription glasses will solve? What was your complaint before you went to this doctor for assistance? Thanks for the information!

Wearing +1.00 doesn't change the eyes. "Dependence" means you get used to seeing without effort. A child might not notice any benefit from +1.00 glasses. At age 50, that same +1.00 would mean the difference between comfort and headache. -MT |
