Hello Everyone, I ordered lenses for my mom off Zenni. We got them, they looked great but when she put them on, she can barely see out them. She has a fairly normal prescription, but she does need progressives. I ordered them in the standard lens available from Zenni. We took them to the place she got her eyes checked to see if the prescription may have been wrong but the prescription was just barely off, like .25 diopters. No big deal and not enough to cause the serious problems she is saying she's having. The very nice clerk tried to figure out what might be going on and measured the base curve of the new lenses and the base curve of the old lenses to compare. The new ones from Zenni had a base curve of 3 and her old ones had a 6.5. The clerk measured it 3 times to make sure because she thought the 6.5 had to be wrong. The clerk said that the difference in the base curve could be what is making the new lenses blurry.
I have two questions: 1. Could there be something else contributing to the blurriness? 2. How do you find a place online that sells lenses with a 6.5 base curve? The clerk suggested that my mom just slowly work over to wearing the new glasses because it had a more "normal" base curve. Any suggestions and/or education about base curve info would be really helpful!
