I posted this as a follow up to a previous question of mine, but don't
know if it might just get lost in the shuffle! I am posting again
here (and apologize for being repetitious) but since I have another
question I thought I should start something new! Thank you.
Thank you for your responses to my previous question about
autorefractor vs. phoropter. I will post my current prescription as
soon as I can get to a copy of it. I am leaning needing lots of help
up close these days (as in full time!!) but didn't realize that
distance would be changing as well. I looked through old
prescriptions, as I've kept most of them, and found that I was a -1.25
for distance in my teens, with the high astigmatism; the sphere has
come down regularly since then, and the add has increased since my
teens as well! That being said, would it serve me to go with the
autorefractor readings, get more plus rather than negative for
distance, and just leave them on until I relax into it?
One more question; my husband just got his very first rx for glasses,
as follows:
OD -.50, +.25, x155 add 1.25
OS -.25 add 1.25
I'm not familiar with a plus astigmatism correction; how does that
read when written with a - sign in front of it? Also, he was not
given any instructions as to when/how to wear. He has been having a
lot of problems with distance- reading road signs, exit signs, etc.
and some near issues as well. Would you advise this as a full time
wear prescription? He's a dentist and would use them for work; would
a near-only pair of glasses be beneficial, and does that change the
near prescription if there's no distance in it? He also wants
sunglasses; should they be made up with the bifocal add in them? He
seems fine with full time wear if that's needed; my gut is that he'll
start wearing them and find them to be comfortable and just keep them
on all time anyway!! Thank you again for all of your help. He went to
the appointment alone, and didn't even know he came out of it with
bifocals until I looked at the rx last night. Unlike me, he doesn't
ask twelve million questions!!!
