Should they look like this?

Hi everyone!

I’d like to ask whether this level of distortion (those visible rings) is normal for my prescription.
My lenses are Hoya, -5.00 D, 1.67 index. The rings are very noticeable to anyone looking at me while I’m wearing the glasses.

I also consulted another optician, who checked the laser engravings on the lenses and told me that, for some reason, the lenses appear to have been mounted upside down. Could that have any effect on the distortion I’m seeing? I realize that this effect is normal to some extent, however, I’ve never seen it this pronounced on any pair of glasses, including my own previous ones.

I know this effect is normal to some extent, but in my case, during everyday wear, these rings are extremely noticeable and cover about half of each lens.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
