Question
i AM 47 YEARS OLD IN 2005,
O.D. SPH-3.75, CYL-0.25, AXIS 015

2009
O.D. SPH-4.25, CYL+1.00, AXIS 95
O.S. SPH-4.00, CYL+0.75, AXIS 121
COULD THIS MUCH CHANGE BE RIGHT? MY GLASSES & CONTACTS GIVE ME POOR VISION AND HEADACHES WITH THE NEW PRESCRIPTION. I'VE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT STATE, HENCE, THE NEW DOCTOR. ANY THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTIONS, OR EXPLANATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.
Answer
Dear Theresa,
This needs to be examined to see if you have the correct prescription, you can check with the centre if with the new prescription you are seeing 6/6 or 20/20 then it is fine.
Yes, there is a change, but not totally unacceptable.
Also, they may have needed to adjust your near reading numbers as well.
Best would to speak with your treating optometrist.
Also, it does take about a week to 10 days to adjust to new glasses, but if still bothering you, you must go back to where they gave you the prescription.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Dr Shroff
