I had a customer come in with her new prescription
OD -10.50 -1.75 x 67
OS -12.25 -0.75 x 71
Add +2.25
Her prior prescription was
OD -11.00 -1.75 x 66
OS -12.75 -0.50 x 68
Add +2.00
After two weeks of wearing her new specs, she was having headaches because of the strain she felt when looking at things in the distance (though her intermediate and near corrections were perfect). By the way, I had fit her with the same progressive bifocal and lens material she's worn in the past.
I suggested she go back to see her prescribing optometrist. She returned today with her new prescription. On the prescription was a note "please remake to accomodate new frame vertex". (The new frame vertex is 15mm. the old was 13.5mm).
Her new prescription is:
OD -10.75 -1.75 x 67
OS -12.75 -0.50 x 81
Add +2.25
To me, it is obvious that this change is not really because of a difference in vertex distance between her old and new frame. But, I'd like your comments.
Per the customers conversation with the Dr. and her retelling of it to me, it's obvious that the blame was placed with the glasses I provided her. This is so irritating to me. What would you do if you were in my place?
Just wondering.
