Thank you for the response! Yeah, I think I'll order with the "proper" prescription. I tried to "test" myself and I do see a small difference in the way my left and right eye haze at distant objects. In any case - I'll probably order from 39dollarglasses because they are local for me and they accept 100% returns even with free shipping back. This way I can always just return the glasses if not happy with the prescription. As for the doctor - its hard to go back to her because it was in an optical store where they were very reluctant to give me the prescription after and tried to push me $500 glasses! Damn... Anyway... Thanks for the advice again!
