That seems like a pretty big change in your astigmatism (the axis numbers). Mine changed by 0 in the left and 2 in the right year to year at my last appt.
A change in PD by a millimeter or two is usually not a huge deal to the prescription. I think I have a couple pairs at 63 and the rest at 64 -- even an old pair at 61 and I don't have issues with any of them feeling wrong in any way besides being a little weak on the oldest pairs. My Axis numbers haven't changed much in the past 10 years. - Ira On Aug 17, 9:28 am, PanthersHUTCH15 <[email protected]> wrote: > So, my final pairs came in from my big order 2 weeks ago... > > 4 pairs from zenni > 1 pair from eyebuydirect > 1 pair from $39 > > All pairs feel identical, but weird. > > I ordered this prescription : > > sphere cyl axis > od -3.50 -.50 79 > os -3.75 -.25 135 > PD 64 > > The above prescription is from just under a month ago. > > My prescription from last year is below: > sphere cyl axis > od -3.50 -1.00 84 > os -3.75 -.50 95 > > My current pair of glasses from my 2008 prescription have never given > me a problem, and felt great from day 1.
