The blur is gone. Well, almost. Yesterday's foray into the optical shop was interesting. I saw the third optician in four weeks, so I had to tell the whole story from the start. Fortunately, she was very nice and patient and quickly understood what I wanted done. She asked a few questions before replacing the old lenses with the new prescription and made a few adjustments to the fit. Suddenly, or so it seemed, most of the problem I had (blur and distortion) was gone. She said that all she did was to change where the glasses rested on the bridge of my nose, but it seemed to make a difference. I don't really know how or why.
I'll see how it goes until my appointment with the doctor next week. I thought about cancelling, but decided it would be better for the doctor to have a look sooner rather than later. I wore the renewed glasses out of the shop and drove home with no problem. I could see and read the road signs again. And I can see the computer screen without tilting my head up to the sky.
What a relief! So nice that she thought to make those adjustments.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! I agree that it’s still a good idea to see the ophthalmologist but it’s amazing that it took 3 different opticians to sort the problem. Enjoy the weekend. :-)
ReplyDeleteEspecially with progressive lenses, there is an optical center to the lens, that should line up with the pupil in your eye, if that is off, you are looking to high or to low through the lens. The Doctor will be able to verify that the fit is right.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to see if I can get some improvenment with my glasses. You've made me realize it will be worth some hassle.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is fantastic! I just put on my progressive lens tri-focals and moved them around a bit, to see if it would make a significant change. I guess it did. But, I think it is smart that you are going back to the doctor. They did say that the prescription seemed unusually strong.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I value the most is my vision, especially witnessing how Bill's life was the last few years after his lost his vision to macular degeneration. I really think I would go nuts if I didn't have my vision where I could read and use my iPhone and my computer. I may not be able to walk normal now but I can still see for which I am grateful. I'm glad your vision situation was solved.
ReplyDeleteyou remind me to call the opimistrist where are my spectacles.
