Wearing Glasses Due To Power In Eye. Done Test. What Are The Findings And Cure?
Hello,
I am Supriya, wearing glasses since class IX, currently my age is 26+. Recently I was having problem in my eyes so checked with a doctor. Doctor recommened me L: Sph: -2.25, Cyl: -0.5 Axis: 160 degree and R: Sph: -2.5 . As per this doctor my left eye power was same as before but my right eyes spherical power increased by 0.25. Next I went to my nearby Optician to change my glasses, they had another check up and they differed with the doctor and gave me the following power: L:Sph: -2.25, R Sph: -2.5, they said I do not have any cylindrical power in my left eyes anymore. I changed my glasses as recommended by them but having problem in my left eyes, when I look through my left eye or anything on my left seems to be smaller but I do not feel any such problem in my right eyes, I am feeling very uncomfortable. So I decided to recheck my eyes again. This time this doctor gave me the following power: L:Sph: -2.25, Cyl: -0.25 Axis: 160 degree, R: Sph: -2.75. I am confused now what shalI I do and whom to follow. This doctor has asked me to show my glasses to him after changing them. Please suggest. The difference I noticed in all these 3 places is that the last doctor applied some drops in my eyes before chceking my power but the first 2 did not do any such thing.

hello,
as you are having problem in left eyes, definately they need cylindre power
,3rd doctor put drops before giving glasses which actually not needed in myopia i.e. minus power
i suggest you to conform yourself whether you are comfortable with 0.25 or 0.5 cyl by re cheking glasses and use cyl power if letter are visible good with it.
take care & ready for future queries
