Optician Wants to Undercorrect My Vision Posted: 02-09-04 08:36am
I went for an eye-exam a few days ago, the
optician told me that my left-eye has
dropped by .50, which is good, and my
right eyes remains the same.
So he suggested that I make new lenses.
But he wants to reduce my right-eye at the
same time, by .25, which he says wouldn't
be any problem.
Is he correct?

Undercorrection of Vision Posted: 03-22-04 01:03am
I just saw your query concerning your
vision correction. If you have not
already received a reply to your question
and/or you have not had new lenses made
for yourself, please be assured that your
optician's advice was correct and there
will be no negative impact to your vision
by undercorrecting your vision by .25d.
This is a very minimal amount of
adjustment in your prescription and,
generally speaking, is an almost
unnoticeable change that can be recognized
by most people. You are fortunate that
your prescription is actually decreasing
rather than increasing for it is very rare
that this happens as people age because
your visual acuity naturally decreases.
Congratulations and good luck!
