5+ Different Opticians have gotten different pupillary distances on me.

I thought that was supposed to be steady? Even the same optician on the same equipment on different days is getting different measurements. My eyes are killing me and I cant seem to get a pair of glasses to work. What could be going on. Why is it changing on different days?? (This is all within the past 3 months. We're trying to sort of a pair of glasses that isn't causing pain). RX is very similar.

Transition Gradient Lenses

Was going on everyone.

Can You get photochromic lenses that transition to a Gradient. For example indoors would be 30-0 and outdoors 100-30 gradient.

So when You go out doors it wouldnt fully transition.
Thanks

Sad Because New Prescription is Blurrier than Old Prescription :(

I need your advice. Do I just go back to the first optometrist and ask for a re-test? Do I need to go to a different optometrist?

Here are the two prescriptions. I've worn the new prescription for about two days now.

I did a quick test in my kitchen by trying on both pairs of glasses and looking at the oven's digital from about 25 feet away.

BOTH EYES OPEN: There is a slight difference in the sharpness of the clock numbers when I use both eyes. The old prescription is slightly sharper.

LEFT EYE CLOSED: When seeing with my right eye, the digital clock numbers were slightly more blurry.

RIGHT EYE CLOSED: When seeing with my left eye, the digital clock numbers are hardly legible at all, more like a green blur of light.

TL;DR: My new prescription is blurrier for fine details far away. What do I do next?

Glasses are perfect but sunglasses are warped?

I got my new glasses & sunglasses in yesterday. My regular glasses feel and look great but my sunglasses feel so warped like I'm in a fish bowl. I've never owned a pair of sunglasses before so I'm kinda clueless when it comes to them but I was hoping they'd feel & look the same as my regular glasses?

I tried asking the lady helping me adjust them and she just said it's because I'm not used to them... But then wouldn't my glasses feel warped too?

Any insight would be very appreciated as I can't get ahold of anyone at the store until Monday.

What could this be? Itching, swelling, headache, nausea, pain in eyes, crusty painful nose for 1-2 weeks.

18F 19 on Oct 12, and for about 1-2 weeks I’ve had eye troubles. It started with my left eye and only now spreading to my right eye (showing only left eye photos cuz that’s the only infected area and most)

I’ve been having bronchitis past few months too and this appeared. I get nauseous easily and last night could barely do anything because of the boring pain and headache all around.

Hurts to blink, sleep, basically anything. Trying to get to the doctors in America cuz in Canada they don’t take me seriously. Hopefully will next week.

Any ideas of what it could be? Should I go to seek emergency care? Any advice? What should I tell my doctor?

It genuinely is painful af
