A woman bought some glasses from us, she was unhappy with previous glasses she had bought elsewhere. She remembered she had gotten glasses before that were Varilux and was happy with them and wanted them again. To save money she skipped the AR coat she had had on her two previous pairs. She has the beginnings of cataracts.
Optician put her in Varilux Comfort in poly in her own frame.
She came in for a recheck yesterday and the doctor found almost the same precscription. She was seeing 20/30 with new glasses, but was seeing 20/20- with new rx. I don't remember if the doctor checked her vision through the phorapter with the rx in her new glasses. Very little difference, though.
She is complaining vision is cloudy. She claims that it wasn't with other glasses, so it wouldn't be the cataracts. (or is it?) Fitting crosses are perfect, right on pupil.
She is coming back on Thursday(the next day I work) with her old Varilux glasses, and the lenses we removed from her frame. I am going to check lens material, which Varilux, fitting of previous lenses, and rx. I am planning to trial frame her with both new rxs.
Any other ideas? Could the lack of an AR coat make the lenses seem "cloudy"?
She swears other lenses weren't cloudy so I wonder if it is the lack of AR.
