Hi,
Ive just got an eye test. Result was sph -0.5 for each eye and slight astigmatism in one of the eyes (i forgot which one). The optometrist was going to give me prescription glasses (to help driving at night) but i thought that i did not need one. They usually jack up the price anyway. So, the question was do i need glasses?
I just got glasses after my most recent visit to the doctor. I had trouble driving at night and reading signs off in the distance. I was wondering whether I had to update my license as I got my current license before I got glasses. The optometrist said that I should wear my glasses while driving.
For the past couple months or so, I have realised that my eyes don’t see so well when driving at night. Even with my glasses my eyes bother me, especially when car headlights hit my eyes. AHHHH its the worst! I go blind or see glares. I went to the optometrist and was diagnosed with astigmatism. I just want to know, anybody out there have this horrible and uncomfortable vision when driving at night? Does it get better over time, like will I get used to it? Because it sucks, I mean what? Am I not gonna be able to drive at night no more? Ahhhh I wish I could afford Lasik surgery.
My optometrist told me i need prescription sunglasses and I’m confused because I don’t even wear a prescription eye glasses. I don’t know a lot about glasses since i pretty much have a 20/20 vision. But here’s what her prescription says: wear type: distance only; lens design: single vision; materials and coating: anti-reflective and UV coating then OD: -.25, cylinder +.50 axis 165; OS: -.25, cylinder .+50 and axis 180. what does it mean?
Do i really need this or am i just being taken advantaged of? I had to pay 5 bucks on top of what my insurance covers. I told her I don’t like driving at night because of the glare but I can tolerate it. So not sure why she gave me prescription sunglasses.
