Hello everyone, I am resorting to reddit because I’ve been to my optometrist 3 times now and nothing seem to solve the issue. I’m sorry but this will be quite long!

Earlier this year, I went to a new optometrist and got this prescription:
Sphere OD - -1.75
Sphere OS - -2.50
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -0.75
Axis OD - 170
Axis OS - 005
To me this was a surprise since the numbers were very different from my previous one. The doctor told me my vision was starting to reach the “plateau phase”, and that was good news. So okay, I went with it.

Here is my previous prescription (and the one I am currently using):
Sphere OD - -2.25
Sphere OS - -2.75
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -0.75
Axis OD - 165
Axis OS - 10

Right after getting my new prescription glasses, boom. They were HORRIBLE. I really couldn’t see anything with them and my eyes were putting A LOT of effort to see things. I eventually returned the glasses and went to another optometrist. In which she gave me the following prescription:
Sphere OD - -2.25
Sphere OS - -2.75
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -1.00
Axis OD - 170
Axis OS - 180

The sphere didn’t change from the previous prescription, which made sense to me considering what my previous dr had said. The glasses weren’t necessary bad, but they really strained my eyes. And to top it off, the nausea I felt with them was just insane. It’s as if I can see everything and nothing at the same time. They make me dizzy, sometimes my vision blurs and I can’t make sense of anything. I really feel my eyes putting a lot of effort to adapt, and this is driving me bananas. I tried the glasses for a week, in a new environment. But as soon as I came back home I realized how weird my vision felt and how badly they were straining my eyes. There were points in the day in which my only option was to take them off and sleep to recover my vision strain. I really think something is off. For now, I’m using my old prescription glasses, that allow me to see just fine without any discomfort. I don’t know if I am doing the right thing and at this point I am just worried I’ll end up damaging my vision.

After those complaints the doctor gave me another prescription, in which I am adamant to try again. Here is the new latest prescription:
Sphere OD - -2.25
Sphere OS - -2.75
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -0.75
Axis OD - 165
Axis OS - 180

Anyone has anything nice or reassuring to say? I know this is confusing, because it is for me too 😩 Thank you for anyone willing to read everything!

Guys, I'm planning on asking the girl I'm going out with to be my girlfriend. She is Chinese and I want to make something special. How can I say it? I've seen many examples online so I am unsure about which one is the right one.

Thank you so much! And if this helps, she is from Shanghai - maybe there is a different way to say it there?

Guys, I’ve been trying to get Onns streaming device for 2 weeks now and I think it’s finally time for me to give up. I went to many walmart super centers and asked for when either the 4K Plus or Pro would be available and there were no previsions.

This is driving me bananas and I’d like to see what other streaming devices would be available around the same price? Google TV is currently 70$ which I think it’s way too much, and I’m trying to avoid the fire sticks as much as I can since I don’t like the UI.

I’ll appreciate any suggestions :)
