“should your prescription glasses read the same in every meter?
i just got prescription glasses because i was having trouble seeing far. when i actually got them i noticed that i having problems adjusting to them. They made me feel dizzy and tired, i felt like i was actually strainig my eyes to see with the glasses. I went back to my eye doctor to check the glasses. they said they had .25 more than what was actually prescribed. but when i told the store they had made a mistake they said the glasses read correctly and that maybe the machines had different a caliber.
The lensometers should read the same, but maybe one of them isn’t adjusted correctly for the persons eye who is reading it.
Very often a lens can be 0.12 too strong or weak, which is within tolerance, but if we want to count that as a 0.25 , it is very easy to do so.
Depending on how strong your glasses are, a . 25 difference usually isn’t enough to give you the symptoms you have.
But it’s difficult to say without all the facts…like your prescription.
Saying it’s .25 off is kind of passing the buck I think.
