Hmm, that is very odd. So prescribing people contacts is a guessing
game?
Sometimes I compare shoe sizes with corrective lenses. Everybody has a
shoe size, but not only is it not very accurate, but everybody's feet
are shaped differently. In fact, for many people, one foot is a
different size from the other. To find out whether a shoe fits, you
really need to try it on. Even if it is the right size, it may not fit
your foot well, and you may need to try a larger or smaller size in that
particular shoe.
