It's possible, but I've worn the -2.25 in the left eye for the past 6
years, without a problem.  My previous prescription (-2.25 in both
eyes) worked quite well, up until about half a year ago when I noticed
a little bit of blurring while reading at mid-range.

Dom:  I thought of the prism as well, but my optometrist did test for
whether I needed it.  My face is a little lopsided, but not enough to
make a difference (accoriding to both the optometrist and my optician).

Once again, thanks for all your help, any advice is something to try.

Do I have this straight?  With both eyes open, i.e. binocularly, your
right eye seems out-of-focus.  But, with your LEFT eye closed, the
right eye clears up?

Sounds like the left eye might be slightly over-minused and
accommodating to it is throwing your right eye into myopia.

Hello there - I'm having problems with a new lens I prescribed, and was
wondering in anyone had any input.  I noticed I was having a blurring
effect out of my right eye, so I went for a check-up and the
optometrist ended up with a prescription that was almost the same as my
previous:

Previous: -2.25 in both eyes
New: -2.25 in the left, -2.00, -0.50 180 in the right

As soon as I put these glasses on, I felt odd.  There was a strong
pulling sensation in right eye, and I could never really seem to focus
it.  After a week I went back, and the optometrist said that people
often take awhile to get used to an astigmatism correction, and I
should wait longer and eventually my eye would feel normal.  However,
it's now been almost 2 months, and while I no longer feel the pulling,
my right even never seems to really be in focus, and I find it hard to
read anything (at any distance).  It's almost like there's no contrast
between foreground and background, so words just smear.  However, if I
close my left eye, the problem almost totally disappears.  I've had the
lens placement checked and rechecked, as well as the lenses, and
everytime everything checks out fine - the lenses are the correct
prescription, and they are centered right over my pupils.

Is it usual to take THIS long to get used to a new lens?
