Here is my prescription.....excuse me if I don't use the proper
format:

Sphere
R -4.00
L -4.25

Cylinder
R -0.50
L -0.25

Axis
R 108
L 075

Add
R+1.75
L+1.75

One thing I haven't mentioned that I thought would pass by now but
hasn't.....I feel extremely tired. I don't have headaches or
eyestrain. But each day since I've gotten the glasses it feels as
though I have only gotten a couple hours of sleep by mid-day (though
my actual sleep schedule is the same as it has been). This has been
going on since Saturday (four days now). I called the store today and
they said to give it a couple of weeks. I don't think I want to wait
that long. Could this be a lack of AR coating? This is really
strange. I'm almost positive this is the glasses rather than some
other sort of ailment.

Regarding sharpness of the Ovation vs the Rodenstock, I should point
out that I notice the difference (Rodenstock being a bit sharper) only
when I compare the two glasses. Taken by themselves, the Ovation seem
to be sharp. The Rodenstock, practically crystal clear. It's hard to
describe unless you are seeing what I'm seeing.

BTW, I appreciate your comments and help!

AR coating is nice, and it is worthwhile if you get a name-brand durable
coating and are reasonably careful with your lenses (otherwise you may have
to purchase new lenses before your Rx changes).

However, AR is not a cure-all, and it is very unlikely that the lack of AR
will make you tired.

If you lenses and/or fitting is not right, that could make you tired.
