First time getting glasses. Went in for screen protection, walked out with a -1.50 astigmatism prescription. Was my doctor too aggressive, or is this normal?
Hey everyone, I need a reality check on a recent eye doctor visit.
I originally went to the ophthalmologist just to get some basic glasses with anti-reflective/blue light lenses for computer protection (I spend all day staring at code and data dashboards) and some prescription-free sunglasses. I feel like my vision is perfectly fine.
| Axe | Cyl | Sph | Add | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OD | 2 | -1.50 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| OG | 163 | -1.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Out of nowhere, the doctor tells me my sight actually isn't that good. He prescribed me lenses for astigmatism with a cylinder of -1.50 for my right eye and -1.00 for my left eye (Sphere is Plano/0 for both).
To me, this feels completely wrong because I can see well without them. I picked up the custom glasses today, put them on for the very first time in my life, and could only last about 40 minutes. I felt incredibly dizzy, the room felt off, and my eyes got sore, so I immediately took them off.
honestly i can see slightly good ( just a bit ) with them , but not that much of difference , but closer object feels painful to look at .
