Full disclosure: My eyes are apparently screw according to this doctor. He explained he could give me a prescription to help when I'm at work and in front of a computer and/or looking at my phone -- in essence a "Reading/Computer" prescription. But that would screw up whenever I try to see anything far. Or he could give me a "far" prescription but then that would screw up the Reading/Computer use.
He did not recommend bifocals as I'd have to be looking out the bottom of the lenses then when I sit in front of my PC -- chin elevated.
So I took the Reading/Computer prescription. And they suck for everything. I can't see a damn thing far away and even up close the FOV seems REALLY small. It's sort of like when in some fantasy movie or something and you're supposed to have he POV through some seeing eye-ball or something? The center is clear but everything in the peripheral is "wavy" and "drunk" look.
And Jesus do they hurt my eyes quickly. Like within a minute my eyes are SCREAMING from stress
I will say that in that narrow FOV though things are crystal freaking clear.
This is my situation too.
I was using dollar store reading glasses on my computer and that was fine but I decided to get my eyes checked and a pair of "real" glasses.
I also hear the place has a "super" eye exam and the latest eye shape crap and they can see other health issues blah blah blah.
I go in, they take some tests, then I see the doctor, he comes in a barely looks at my eye pictures and then starts the eye test with the binocular things.
He going along and he doesn't really get it to were I would see perfect then it sucked when he showed a hand wand with text on it up close.
He seemed pushy and in a rush to get rid of me.
He kept arguing with me that he cant get it better and that I need 2 or 3 pairs of glasses for each closeness...wtf!
I paid alot of money for this "super" eye test and felt ripped off.
Today I got the glasses. I had to choose "reading" glasses cause I didn't want grandpa bifocal or progressives for $600 bucks.
Right away they suck, its like 3d goggles you get at the movie theater. The one eye is still blurry and the lady didn't adjust them at all and was in a rush to just get rid of me, while another customer was getting hers heated and bent to fit.
I feel like going back and saying I dont want them....I'm pissed off too op, wth?
The dollar store glasses stay put and I see fine, these ones I paid $$$ for slip down and keep touching my eyebrow...
