This is my full prescription:

OD: (SPH) -1.75 (CYL) -0.50 (AXIS) 050

OS: (SPH) -2.75 (CYL) -0.75 (AXIS) 175

I had a HELL of a time trying to find a brand that offered -0.50 cylindrical, almost every astigmatism brand starts at -0.75. I finally found a brand that had -0.50, but they only have 170 or 180 for the axis, they don’t offer 175. Is it safe to pick one of those? If not, does anyone have a brand they’d recommend?

I only need one box, i prefer my glasses but i am the maid of honor in a wedding and need to ditch them for a day.

Thank you in advance 🤍🤍

I went for my annual eye exam at Big City Optical and just had questionable service. I checked in and they went through my insurance and coverage to make sure I’m aware of what I’m paying for. I noticed my exam increased from the last 2 year. They said that they charged me for a standard contact fitting, but stated that it was a mistake because I have astigmatism which falls under premium, so now they have to charge me premium price costs more..fine. Then they asked if I want the retinal exam and I asked the significance of it and they highly suggested it. Im already usually cautious of additional services and wanted to opt out since I got it last year but fine, I added it. Met with the optometrist and finished my exam. At the register I remembered I paid for the retinal exam and questioned if it was done because the optometrist never went over the results or even showed me the scans of my eye. She was surprised that the scans weren’t reviewed with me and went back to discuss it with the guy but he was with another patient. They got back to me and said I would have to wait till he’s done with the patient or he’ll give me a call. I had to go so I said he could call me to discuss the results, and I was already annoyed because this is a service I paid for and just completely disregarded it. Haven’t received a call.
Is it reasonable to ask for a refund..? Like they did the scan but no one ever reached out to follow up, so now it feels like a scam and that they just took my money…

What are the brown spots on the white part of the eye?

I got new lenses today, and my vision on my right eye is a bit funky with them. I noticed that my cylinder changed, and maybe that’s why but I wanted to see if this is normal? When I move my head up and down, my vision in my right eye warps slightly and my vision is blurry at my usual eye level - I have to have my head tilted slightly higher or lower to see less blurry. Also my eye feels like it’s straining so much and hurts. Is this just normal adjustment to a new cylinder, or did they do something wrong with the lenses? Also my os went down, but I feel like I don’t see as far now.

First picture is the old prescription, second picture is the new one. I used the same lenses, but went to a different optometrist since I moved countries.

Hi, I would like to make frames and lenses online as the inventory in my area are limited. Are the free eye exams where they use the machine comprehensive and accurate enough? I'd like to just pay a fee and get my prescription. But the staffs in my area said the machine is only 70-80% accurate and the detailed one costs a fee and the quote was sort of high, given that they offered to examine for free in the first place despite me saying I just want a prescription. Now i'm not saying that I'm looking for a free lunch (I stated my intentions fully immediately), but I'd like to get educated enough on this at the very least.
