i decided to send them back to zenni because i did not want to take any chances. i think if a little distortion is considered acceptable then yeah the glasses did not give me any headaches or problems. but i also noticed the distortion was greater on the left eye. i also decided to send them back because my girlfriend gets consistent measurements of my PD at 62 instead when i measure myself in front of the mirror i get 65. and those glasses had 65 PD. so now i am going to order a new pair with PD at 62. do you guys think that a PD measurement done by another person is more accurate than myself in front of the mirror? I could swear that when i measure myself i was perfectly lined up.
also, if you say that it's just a piece of glass, does that mean that it will cause a slight distortion/shift? will plastic be better in that sense? i am considering ordering plastic next time and not PC because i have been reading that plastic is better optically speaking. any feedback is appreciated.
