I am 43 y/o and I have noticed changes in my vision.
1 year ago I had an exam and was told thatI would most likely need prescription glasses for distance.
I got two different RX from 2 different opticians.
How do I know which one is right?

O.S. -0.25 -0.50 170

#2: Spherical: O.D. Plo Cylindrical: -0.25 Axis: 39

Comment on One Hour Labs vs Wholesale Labs by Shaylee

Don’t go to one hour labs. They don’t care how the lenses turn out they just want to get yours done to do the next person’s lenses. When people go to fast labs half the time people complain because they can’t see since they don’t inspect the lenses to make sure they are completely accurate so in the long run you will waste more time redoing lens jobs.

Hi
My 6 year olod daughter’s spectacle prescription reads:
right + 6.5
left + 6.5 + 2.0 x 140
Can you please tell me what this means, is it a strong prescription, will she be suitable for any corrective surgery in the future?
I am currently patching her right eye for about 4 hours per day to strengthen her left eye.
Thanks,
Jodi

Comment on 9/11 Mysteries Will Blow Your Mind by Concerned American Patriot

As for the post, it’s very refreshing to see that America is opening their eyes to the government cover ups aka False Flag Operations. Google that Richard, and then come back and let me know how you truly feel about ‘Operation Northwoods’ or ‘Operation Garden Plot’..

“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” – U.S. President James Madison..

Moreover, recently declassified U.S. Government documents show that in the 1960s, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan code-named Operation Northwoods to blow up American airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. The operation was not carried out only because the Kennedy administration refused to implement these Pentagon plans.

For lots more on the astonishing Operation Northwoods, see the ABC news report; the official declassified documents; and watch this interview with James Bamford, the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. One quote from the Northwoods documents states: “A ‘Remember the Maine’ incident could be arranged: We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.”

You may also want to check out the FEMA camps while you’re at it.

I hope this helps to clear the smoke (no pun intended) Richard..

Comment on Prism Correction by Bar

A 4th nerve palsy in the left eye, as a result of Neuro Surgery in 2008 has caused double vision. The double vision had an element of tilt, which has recently been addressed via eye muscle (squint) surgery. I still experience double vision when looking straight down and down to the right. The expectation is that a prism in glasses will be able to line up the images.

To my question: Can prism be fitted so as it only comes into play if looking straight down or down and to the right?

Any info would be helpful
Thanks
Bar

I could read your blog easier if the fonts were darker and there was more contrast between the text and background. My $0.02 worth.

I just read your article “How to read an eyeglass prescription”. It’s very informative. But one question remains in my mind.
In the refractive error (farsightedness or nearsightedness), what exactly do the numbers mean in terms of how much.
In other words -?.?? means 20/30, 20/40, etc? Also what does this mean related to what is required to pass the drivers license test?
Thank-you for your response in advance.
