The opthamologist wanted me to get prescription lenses (which I have had all my life), but I found that store bought works just fine. Unless you have major eye problems and all you need is readers, get thee to a drugstore and try on the storebought. I have four pair, all each slightly different, (one for the computer, one for reading, etc.) and that may be all you need.<br />btw, the eye doctor still tells me I should have prescription lenses. The clue is, he also sells them. Aha. <br /><br />mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-28029947834796963552018-07-29T06:48:45.877-05:002018-07-29T06:48:45.877-05:00OH!

My old ones were still good, but I wanted new sunglasses and driving glasses so I could just leave one set in each car so I would always have them when I needed them.<br /><br />OK, did the eye exam and picked out new frames and all, and when they came in, one lens was perfect and the other one was awful. Very blurry. Both pairs were just the same, unusable to me. <br /><br />I got the same song and dance you have gotten, your eyes just have to get used to them. I said I have worn glasses all my life and I know the difference between a little adjustment and being off the charts unusable. <br /><br />One of the other gals took a look at my new prescription and compared it to my old prescription, and said: "There is something wrong here, one of these values is way out of what it should be. You will need to see the doctor again". <br /><br />Well, long story short, when the doc entered the prescription into the computer, he got a decimal point in the wrong place. What should have been .25 in one of the grinding formulas got entered as 2.5, a 10fold error. The new glasses, made with the right formula, arrived yesterday and they are wonderful. Just another example of the devil is in the details. So, keep after them until they get it right.

No matter what they did everything was always blurry. I finally broke down and went to see aMaster Optician who diagnosed the problem. He said the lenses in the glass were made from a polycarbonate material and some people just can't see clearly thru it. So he switched my lenses to Tri-Vex material and I have never had a problem since then. Hope this can help you.linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-36663469905792418522018-07-28T07:05:07.027-05:002018-07-28T07:05:07.027-05:00Ever since my cataract surgeries, my vision is muc...Ever since my cataract surgeries, my vision is much improved, and with the prescription glasses (progressive lenses) I can see crisper than I have in ages. Now if I just ignore the blurry patches from the macular degeneration, I'm seeing fine. But I do have to wear readers (the cheap ones) for extended reading since otherwise my eyes get really tired and blurry. You need to take your glasses to another place and see if they can help you.

I am sorry to say, I reverted to my old glasses in the end, just gave up. They kept telling me the same thing: wear them and you will get use to them. They made me nauseous trying to see!
