I just got my new Physio 360s 3 days ago. I'd been wearing Varilux Comfort for two years and loved them, so I was told I would like the 360s even better due to better peripheral vision, etc. As soon as I put the 360s on, I noticed my distance vision was not as clear. My OD had tweaked it from .75 to 1.00 in both eyes. (He tweaked the add from 2.25 to 2.50.) The optician told me my eyes would get used to them after I wear them a few days.
I also noticed the lens thickness on the 360 is greater than that of my Comforts (I had gotten high index with my Comforts). I thought the 360's index was 1.67 and I'm pretty sure that's what the Comforts are, as I'm thinking two years ago that was about as thin as you could get. So I'm confused why the 360s appear thicker. They are both rimless so I can see all edges.
The opticial told me when I ordered the glasses that if I wasn't happy with them, she'd put me back in the Comforts at no charge (I'm hoping that includes correcting the prescription if needed). I have an appointment for the OD to do a follow-up checking my vision...distance in particular. So my dilemna is whether to go back to Comforts or ask for thinner 360s...in addition to adjusting the distance if needed. I'm wondering if the thicker lens could account for the distance "fuzziness".
Any thoughts or input on this would be very helpful. Thanks so much!
