Just got my new glasses. I’ll list the main points of what happened and if anyone recognizes a pattern they can let me know.
The new prescription: (Nikon See Coat Blue $300)
Base curve is 5
sphere cyl axis Pd Od +75 -1 95 68 Os P -75 95 68
(I had a pair with base curve 2 and they gave me headaches.)
I’ll post my old prescriptions if I can find them. But the prescription is weak and is close to what I had before (Within 0.5)
The prescription is so weak I can turn my old and new glasses upside down or backwards and still see fine. Obviously my eyes seem to be able to compensate for short periods even if the prescription is switched left for right and is upside down.
The lab tech convinced me to try these new glasses for a few days so I can adjust.
When I first put on the Glasses:
1 I felt a strange feeling like being sea sick (but not) or wearing a really low power drunk goggles (They bend light to simulate being drunk)
2 The feeling is much worse if I move my eyes or body.
3 The feeling is worse if I am moving or looking at moving things 5-20 feet away (When walking down the street).
4 Looking at things 1 foot away, or looking in a mirror feels great. Like vision is supposed to feel.
5 Looking out my left eye is fine. 20/20 vision and no “drunk goggles” effect.
5.1 Looking out my right eye is fine. 20/20 vision and no “drunk goggles” effect.
5.2 Looking out both eyes with the new glasses is a problem (See point 1,2,3)
6 Making circles with my thumb and finger and placing them in front of my glasses helps dramatically (But makes me look un-professional)
7 When trying to focus on text 3 feet away, it is a bit hard to read.
7.1 Closing my left eye will make the text instantly sharp.
7.2 Closing my right eye will make things sharp after between a 1/2 second to a full second of time. (Fairly fast)
8 It feels like my depth perception is warped
9 Or perhaps it feels like my 2 eyes refuse to cooperate past 3 feet when I wear this one particular pair of glasses.
9.1 Or it feels like I almost have double vision but the visions are too close together to be sure.
10 I have had similar depth perception feelings when I tried on My wife’s very strong prescription gasses. (Though I could manage to see through them ok)
11 The lab tech thought the wires on the half frame were too tight and could be warping the rim of the lenses but they checked them and the tension was OK.
Those are all the symptoms I can put into words.
If people could try to answer the question of why this has not happened with my other glasses I would really appreciate it. We can't send them back untill we know what is wrong.
Sincerely,
Brent
PS.
One last bit of info that may be relivant, is that I have migraine halos caused by long tube florescent lights (And actual migraines if exposed for long enough). Shiny floors (Wal-Mart) make it worse. Big windows with natural light make it better. I tried the FL-41 tint from the university in Utah, but it did not work for me.
