Eyes with different contact prescriptions
I've been wearing glasses since elementary school, and I just got contacts a few months ago. I see SIGNIFICANTLY worse in my left eye, but my prescription for that eye is 1.75, while my prescription for my right eye is 2.25. I feel like I see worse now than with my old prescription glasses. I'm having to strain my eyes to read my monitors at work. In fact, while wearing my contacts and closing my left eye, I see better, but when I close my right eye I can't see at all (can't even read my phone screen right in front of my face). When I took my eye exam it was very clear I couldn't see out of my left eye.
I don't know if this is normal to give a weaker prescription to the weaker eye? I bought half a year of these contacts because I thought they were working fine, and I don't want to get refitted if this is normal.
